Let’s ring in the new year with a Paradox Comics-N-Cards tradition! You’ll draft from three home-made, 15 card booster packs containing nothing less than all Rares or Mythics! No pesky commons, uncommon, tokens, lands, or other goodies! What treasures could you find hidden amongst these packs and what kind of deck could you build?
Entry Fee: $19.99
Format: 3-Rounds Swiss
You’ll draft 3 home-made booster packs each containing 15 cards. You’ll build a 40 card deck including basic land we’ll provide and play 3 matches to win prizes.

Years ago, Paradox was infamous for “Crap Rare Draft”. If you know, you know. Today, it’s Hidden Treasures drafting where you never know what you might see next in your packs. Come one, come all, whether you played Magic your whole life or your just beginning, this is an awesome casual event that will fill your collection with cards, challenge your creativity & deck building, and pit you against the most unexpected and unpredictable Magic cards! In 2025, we had 30 players & this year we’re ready for more. Our Magic experts have spent the entire year cultivating these boosters by holding back Rares and Mythics from new collections and you’ll have a great variety of cards and more fun than ever.
