The Magic and Dungeons & Dragons crossover we've all been waiting for will finally arrive on July 16 as our season-long set of legendary experiences continues with Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease!

This set brings the storytelling and roleplaying elements of D&D to Magic through fan-favorite D&D spells and monsters and incredible booster fun treatments highlighting classic D&D flavor, including the rulebook treatment reminiscent of early Monster Manuals.

And, of course, players will find an abundance of both dungeons and dragons.

For regions where in-store play has resumed, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease will be extra exciting. Be sure to check out the return of the Love Your Local Game Store Promotion for all the ways we’re celebrating the return to in-store play this summer and tune back in for more updates about AFR.
