What is Rotisserie Draft?

You’ve probably done a booster draft before, where you open a pack of cards, pick one, and pass the rest. Rotisserie draft is similar, but instead of opening a pack of 15 cards, the first drafter opens the entire pool of available cards! This can be all cards in a format, in a set, in a booster box, or in a cube. The first drafter has the entire field to select one card from. After their selection, the next draft picks from what’s left, and so on all the way through the last drafter. Once everyone’s taken a card, the last drafter goes first and picks the first card of the second round. The draft path ends up looking like a snake (and this is often called snake drafting):

--->
A B C D E F G H
           <---
A B C D E F G H
--->
A B C D E F G H

This snake continues on until all rounds have been completed.

Moddy Cube Rotisserie

With Moddy Cube, there are 40 rounds of draft. After the draft, teams of four are randomly chosen between the eight drafters. This helps to discourage hate drafting during the draft (because the person you’re messing up might be your teammate!) Teams can help with deck building, mulligan decisions, and sideboard decisions. Information about what cards they’ve seen opponents play are fair game to pass on to, but with the open nature of rotisserie drafting, that’s less important than a traditional cube draft.
