Magic: The Gathering - The Hobbit Saturday Night Prerelease

They say a Wizard is never early, but you can play with this set ahead of schedule at Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit Prerelease events! Held at local game stores ahead of the set's official tabletop release, Prerelease events are a casual, friendly environment where players of all skill levels can gather to celebrate a new release.

You'll receive a Prerelease Pack and construct a 40-card sealed deck from its contents and any number of basic lands. Then, you'll play casual games of Magic against your fellow attendees. Don't worry about playing the most precise, optimized deck. This is about having fun and finding what speaks to you! Talk to your fellow Prerelease players, learn about their favorite parts of Middle-earth, and by the end of the event, you'll walk away with new cards and possibly new friends!

Participants will have time to open their packs and construct a deck, and then they will play 3 best of 3 rounds against their opponents. Every player will receive a pack for every round they win, with a minimum of one pack for everyone who participates.
