About Get the Gang Together Promos

Starting right at Prerelease (April 12), players can receive copies of the promos Oltec Matterweaver and Transmutation Font when they bring new players to their first event your store, and each register for your event with their own Wizards Account for any in-store event together throughout Outlaws of Thunder Junction season (as long as it is the new player's first event).

In addition to the two promos, be sure to provide each player (both the experienced player and their new friends) with a copy of Cultivate, all while supplies last.

We've put together marketing materials for you to use to advertise this promotion to your community; share the image periodically throughout the season or at key moments to help boost your event registration.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Events

Prerelease (April 12 – 18)

As the first event of the season, Prerelease is a great time to go all out and create the biggest celebration in-store for the new set. Whether you decorate your store to match the aesthetic of Thunder Junction or serve up thematic treats to keep players' energy up while they explore the cards for the first time, it's sure to be a blast.

For players who register alongside new players in their first event using their individual Wizards Accounts, be sure to award each player in the group both the two Get the Gang Together promos and the Bring-a-Friend promo!

Open House (April 19 – 21)

Open House can help get interested new players started with Magic. You can demo the game with Starter Kit or Jumpstart products that you have on-hand or set players up with a mentor to play some Two-Headed Giant games with other newcomer-mentor pairs.

Provide each participant with a copy of the Open House promo; provide a second copy of the promo to players that bring a friend and to the friend they bring. You can use sticker sheets, Get the Gang Together promos, and Bring-a-Friend promos to further incentivize players to come give Magic a try!

Standard Showdown (April 19 – July 25)

Running weekly Standard Showdown events is a great way to build a Standard community and ramp up your players to Store Championship later in the season; then, you can invite players back to continue refining their Standard decks or try new techniques ahead of the next set release.

At Standard Showdown, provide your top player each week with one of the foil, Full-Art Omenpath Basic Lands.

If your store was allocated more than one Standard Showdown promo per week you may provide them during the event for other purposes at your discretion; however, be sure to reserve enough to provide at least one per week for the remainder of the season.

Commander Party (April 26 – May 2)

In Thunder Junction, characters flock from across the multiverse to claim their fortunes—and your Commander community can take part at Commander Party! Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander Party surrounds several vaults that players can add counters to as Upstanding Citizens—or take the loot and go On the Run.
