Premiere - Death Star II Draft
Premiere - Death Star II Draft is a draft format on GEMP using cards from Premiere through Death Star II. The Players Committee Cube page calls it "GEMP - Basic Prem-DS2 Draft" and describes it as a basic draft with no objectives or add-on cards.[1] GEMP's draft list points this type to /draft/basic_premds2_draft.json.[2][3]
- Type: booster draft (GEMP cube draft)
- Defined by: Players Committee Cube page; GEMP draft file
- Card pool: Premiere through Death Star II cards; 13 fixed cards and 54 picks per side

basic_premds2_draft) on play.swccg.com; on the Players Committee GEMP the same draft file is played under the Cube format[4]
Card pool
For each side a player gets 13 fixed cards and drafts 54 cards from a list of 360.[5][1]
- Dark Side fixed cards: Combat Response, Imperial Arrest Order, Mobilization Points, Prepared Defenses, Bespin, Cloud City: East Platform (Docking Bay), Corulag, Endor, Endor: Landing Platform (Docking Bay), Hoth, Hoth: Echo Docking Bay, Tatooine, Tatooine: Docking Bay 94.[5][1][6]
- Light Side fixed cards: Insurrection, Squadron Assignments, Staging Areas, Heading For The Medical Frigate, Bespin, Clak'dor VII, Cloud City: Platform 327 (Docking Bay), Endor, Endor: Landing Platform (Docking Bay), Tatooine, Tatooine: Docking Bay 94, Yavin 4, Yavin 4: Docking Bay.[5][1][6]
The Cube page lists every draftable card. Players build decks from the 67 cards per side.[1]
How picks work
GEMP shuffles each side's pick list and offers a shrinking "pack": 9 cards, then 8, down to 1, then 9 again, six times over 54 picks. A card already in the player's pool is not offered again, and a picked card brings any add-on cards listed for it.[7][5]
Deck rules
On play.swccg.com the format sets a deck size of 40 cards and is not a game hall format.[2][8] The Players Committee code's draft file names its cube format instead, which sets 45 cards.[4][9] The format's set list is the same as Open; the drafted pool limits what a player can use.[2]
History
The draft is one of the cubes on the Players Committee Cube page, which links older cubes, versions 1 to 7, from 2014 to 2020.[1] The Players Committee GEMP code has the same draft file under its Cube format; play.swccg.com gave it its own format.[4][5][2] No source gives who built this cube or when, and no event result is recorded.
Tournaments
No tournament on List of SWCCG tournaments is recorded in this format yet. Events are added here when their page gives this format.
