doublesealed

Doublesealed is a term used in the context of competitive Magic: The Gathering, a popular trading card game. It refers to a specific deck archetype that combines elements from two different sealed deck formats: Draft and Sealed. In a standard Draft format, players build their decks by selecting cards from a pool of boosters, while in Sealed, players build their decks from a fixed number of boosters they open at the beginning of the game.

The doublesealed format involves players receiving a combination of boosters and preconstructed decks. This hybrid approach allows players to leverage the strategic depth of Draft while also benefiting from the pre-built decks in Sealed. The goal is to create a deck that can adapt to various matchups and strategies, making it a versatile option for competitive play.

Doublesealed decks often incorporate a mix of powerful cards from the preconstructed decks and additional cards from the boosters. This combination can lead to innovative deck strategies that might not be possible in purely Draft or Sealed formats. The format encourages creativity and adaptability, as players must decide how to best integrate the preconstructed decks with the cards they draft.

While doublesealed is not an official format recognized by Wizards of the Coast, the Magic community, it has gained popularity among players who enjoy experimenting with different deck-building strategies. It provides a unique challenge and an opportunity to explore new deck archetypes and tactics.
