booster draft, sealed deck, or Two-Headed Giant. It was announced that starting in 2015 all sanctioned tournament formats and all casual formats (such as Commander) could be used at FNM events. While this rules change announcement stated that all casual formats could be included in FNM, , the Wizards Event Reporter (Wizards' tournament reporting software) only includes a limited number of casual formats and does not include the announced "Invent Your Own Format".

Reception J. Patrick Williams, in an essay in the book Gaming as Culture, highlighted how weekly events such as Friday Night Magic facilitate and "routinized consumption" in players; for example, in Magic sealed draft tournaments, the
