How many cards should go into a draft pool in MTG?
In a traditional MTG draft, each player needs 3 booster packs. Since each pack has 15 cards, you're looking at a total of 45 cards per player for the draft pool. If you've got 8 players, that's a total of 360 cards going into the draft pool. Remember, this includes lands, which you usually get a few of in each pack!

Not everyone remembers this, but technically you need exactly 360 cards for a standard 8-player draft. That's 45 cards per player, straight up.
45 cards per player, so don't overthink it. More players, multiply by 45. Simple as that.
Honestly, just stick with 45 cards per player. It's how the game's designed to be drafted, and it's always worked out fine in my group. We've tried tweaking numbers before, but it just complicates things.
