# Sealed Rules

> Sealed is a limited card format that is easy to get up and running.

Sealed is a limited card format that is easy to get up and running. Each player in the event gets booster packs and builds a deck with these guidelines:

**5 Booster Packs**

**40 Card Deck Minimum - Remaining cards are used as a sideboard**

**No Affinity restrictions**

**No duplicate limit**

## Setup Rules

* **Receive Packs:** During the event, the organizer will give each participant a minimum of 5 booster packs from the same set(s). Each player receives the same amount of cards.
* **Build Decks:** Players will then have a certain amount of time to open the packs, look at their cards, and build at least a 40-card deck with no affinity or duplicate restrictions.
* **Round Robin or Double Elim:** Players will take turns playing each other in a chosen bracket until the set amount of rounds has been achieved. For smaller parties, Round Robin works great. For a larger tournament, consider Double Elimination.
* **Sideboarding:** Extra cards not added to your deck can be swapped in and out between matches.
