Magic Presents: Open the Archive — June Events
The doors to the Archive are open once more. Magic Presents: Open the Archive returns in June with another round of exciting Secrets of Strixhaven draft tournaments, and there’s never been a better time to jump in.
A Format Built Around Freedom
At its core, Magic Presents: Open the Archive lets players draft Secrets of Strixhaven — but with one game-changing rule. Mystical Archive cards, among the most powerful and sought-after pulls in any pack, can be played in any deck regardless of color identity. That means no more passing a spectacular Mystical Archive card because it doesn’t fit your colors. Every card you open is a card you can build around.
A First-Pick Bonus That Changes Everything
The format goes even further. With each player’s first pick from every pack, they also claim the Mystical Archive card from that pack. That’s guaranteed Mystical Archive access every single round of drafting — fueling deeper strategy and giving every player a powerful foundation to build from the moment the draft begins.
New Strategies, New Possibilities
Together, these rules open the door to creative deckbuilding that simply isn’t possible in a standard draft. Players can explore unconventional combinations, lean into powerful spells they’d otherwise ignore, and approach each draft pod with a completely different mindset. Whether your pack yields a tempo piece or a game-ending bomb, it belongs in your arsenal.
Compete for a Legendary Prize
Beyond the gameplay, finishing with a winning record — more wins than losses — earns you something truly unique: a blind-packaged Pinfinity coin featuring exclusive Mystical Archive artwork. With five distinct designs in circulation and coins available while supplies last, you won’t know which one you’ve claimed until it’s in your hands, making every victory its own little mystery.
