How many players are needed for an MTG draft?
For a proper MTG draft, you'll need at least 8 players. This number allows for a good distribution of cards and a competitive balance. Each player gets 3 booster packs to start, and you pass the packs around the table, selecting one card at a time. Though 8 is ideal, you can technically draft with as few as 6, but the dynamics change a bit.

Just gonna throw this out there - I've had a blast drafting with just 4 people before. It's not traditional, and the decks can get a bit wacky, but if you're looking for a fun night and only have a few friends around, it's totally doable.
8 players, no question. Anything less and you're not getting the full experience. MTG drafts are designed around this number for a reason.
