What is a Magic: The Gathering Prerelease?

A prerelease is a fun, beginner-friendly way to experience a new Magic set. Instead of bringing a pre-built deck, players open their prerelease packs and construct a deck on the spot from the cards inside. It's a great way to learn the set, test your skills, and enjoy the thrill of discovering new cards for the first time.

Here's how it works:

Open Your Prerelease Kits – Each player opens their prerelease packs and builds a sealed card pool from the contents, giving everyone a fresh and exciting starting point.
Build Your Deck – Using your sealed pool and any number of basic lands, construct a minimum 40-card deck that showcases your strategy and creativity.
Play & Discover – Face off in a structured event with multiple rounds, learning the set as you play. With brand-new cards and mechanics, every match is a chance to adapt, experiment, and experience the set for the very first time.

Entry Fee: $45

Prizes: 1st 3 packs, 2nd 2 packs, all other participants receive 1 pack for participating.
