Field notes
The visible navigation separates Draft, Leagues, Constructed, Decks, and Events. Drafting is described in concrete formats: eight-player Booster pods and two-player grid or Winston drafts using a cube. The site also says players can build decks from cards supported by the engine and play one-on-one games from a Standard gauntlet; these are homepage descriptions rather than independently tested capabilities.
