Magic: The Gathering | Saturday 17 October 1:00PM | Magic Presents: Reality Echoes

Magic Presents: Reality Echoes is a special Pick-Two Draft event featuring Magic: The Gathering | Reality Fracture. It adds the Echoed Pair mechanic to your draft, giving you a powerful pair of cards waiting in exile at the start of every game. It's a great fit for both regular players and newcomers to Magic.

Important Information:

• Entry is $30 - Limited to 16 players
• Saturday 17 October 2026
• Doors open at 12:00pm, registration opens from 12:30pm for a 1:00pm start
• Format: Pick-Two Booster Draft (keep what you draft)

Prizes:

• Reality Fracture promo pack: every player receives one for participating
• Reality Fracture set symbol pin: awarded to the player who wins their draft pod, while supplies last

Echoed Pair Rules:

Each Play Booster contains three Echoed Pair bonus sheet cards: two that form a true pair, and one unpaired legendary.

• Before each game, you may reveal two different pair cards you drafted. Those cards start the game in exile.
• You may cast one of them as though it were in your hand. When you do, you may shuffle the other into your library.
• You begin each game with only one Echoed Pair in exile. If you have drafted more than one complete pair, choose one before each game.
• Two copies of the same legendary do not form a pair.
• Drafting a pair is optional, and you can pass them. If you don't have a complete pair, you play normally without the mechanic.

How It Works:

• 4 player pods
• Each player receives 3 Reality Fracture Play Boosters
• Pick TWO cards from each booster before passing
• Pack 1: pass left | Pack 2: pass right | Pack 3: pass left
• Build a 40-card deck from your drafted cards plus basic lands
• Two Swiss rounds within your pod: winners pair against winners, others pair together

Players are expected to understand the basic rules and etiquette of Magic: the Gathering and can play unassisted. It is a requirement of the event, prizes and promos that you have a registered Wizards of the Coast account and use the store locator registration or the Magic Companion App.
