Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Minigames

Card

2 players | 2 packs | 10 minutes
OBJECTIVE:
Best your opponent in a series of fast Magic games using only the cards in a single pack!
GET READY:
Each player opens a pack and makes four face-down piles of three cards each using the Magic cards inside. Players make their piles with the goal of winning a series of Magic games with these modified rules:
Players start at 5 life, have infinite mana, and cannot lose by drawing from an empty library.
LET'S PLAY:
Randomly determine who goes first. Each player chooses which pile their opponent will use for each round. Then both players draw all three of their cards and play a game of Magic. When a player loses a game, they get to go first in the next game.
TO WIN:
The first player to win two games wins the match.

Booster Blitz

• Paired red, blue, or green cards result in a tie
• A winning white card vs. a winning black card results in a tie
• A losing white card vs. a losing black card results in a tie
• A multicolored card is a single color of its owner's choice, declared after it's revealed
When a colorless card is revealed (lands are colorless), its owner immediately replaces it with a card from their hand before declaring the winner. Discard the colorless card afterward. If two colorless cards are paired, players reveal their replacement card simultaneously. If two multicolored cards are paired, players declare their chosen color simultaneously.
After all pairs are revealed, each player sets aside their winning cards into their own pile and returns all of their losing and tie cards to their hand.
Play **two more rounds**. But for the third round, players lay down **six cards**. If a player has fewer than six cards for the third round, play with the same number of cards as the player with the least, discarding the extras.
TO WIN:
The player with the most winning cards after three rounds wins!

Day vs. Night (cont'd)

2 players | 2 packs | 5 minutes
OBJECTIVE:

GET READY:

LET'S PLAY:
Players look at their hands, pick three cards, and then place their picked cards in a face down row in front of their opponent's row. Players reveal the pairs of cards from Day player's left to right simultaneously. Winning cards are decided as follows:
• Red beats green
• Green beats blue
• Blue beats red
• White is always a winning card for the Day player, but it's always a losing card for the Night player
