Greetings fellow draft aficionados! Our draft group, the XMage Draft Historical Society, is THE place to be if you love to draft and want to experience Magic's rich 28 year history. It's also completely free!

We run weekly throwback drafts of old "historical" sets, working our way chronologically through the entire history of Magic, with leagues for European, North American and Asia/Pacific players - though members are free to join and play in whatever leagues suit them, regardless of region or time zone. Our drafts fire quickly, often with two tables per draft!

In addition to our weekly Historic Drafts we have themed monthly Chaos Drafts, monthly Community Choice Drafts and the upcoming Season 10 will see the introduction of Flex Drafts - a fortnightly draft where individual members choose the format as a reward for leveling up their Devotion Badge. Devotion Badges are leveled up by playing in our drafts - so even if you're not a god-tier drafter you can still level up your Devotion and earn the choice of draft format for an upcoming Flex Draft.

Here are some upcoming events you won't want to miss:

Innistrad! Chosen by popular vote to be our March Community Choice draft - Don't miss a chance to play this beloved format!
Invasion / Planeshift / Apocalypse: The final draft of Season 9 - Another iconic block from Magic's past and not to be missed.
Winners Choice: What will the Season 9 league champions choose for us to all play? Their favorite set from the past, or something crazy like Portal: Three Kingdoms?

We draft and play using the open-source program XMage- which if you haven't tried before is functionally similar to MTGO but completely free to play! We have guides to get you started and our members are on hand to help you out.

Since its inception in early 2019 the group has:

Played 198 drafts totalling 2345 matches
Drafted through the entire history of Magic and started over again!

TLDR: Draft old sets for free at the XMage Draft Historical Society: https://discord.gg/YE59Eaj

I have to say that sounds quite intriguing. Unfortunately the time zone doesn't line up for me.

We have two other play groups; perhaps one of them is at a more suitable time? Anyone can join any group too, so join up with whatever group you want!

European: Tuesday, Nov 10 at 7:50 PM CET
American: Wednesday, Nov 11 at 7:50 PM EST / 4:50 PM PST
Asia/Pacific: Sunday, November 8 at 11:50 AM AEDT

On the off chance someone stumbles upon this old post - we now have, in addition to the weekly historic drafts, monthly chaos drafts and community choice (by vote) drafts!

This does sound interesting, if I ever get my business together enough to participate in something on a regular schedule!

That sounds interesting. I'd be glad to join you!!

Fantastic!

sounds great!
