What Is Prerelease?

Prerelease celebrates the launch of a new set and is your players' first opportunity to explore what the set has to offer. Players open a Prerelease Pack, build a 40-card Sealed deck, and play with the set for the first time in a casual and fun environment.

Prerelease events can be scheduled all week, July 25–31, starting at 12 p.m. local time on Friday, July 25.

Exclusive Early Sales

Prerelease also gives you as a WPN member store the exclusive advantage of selling new set products before nonmember retail channels. This early access generates excitement, drives foot traffic and in-store engagement, and rewards your community for supporting their local game store.

Commander Box League

New for Edge of Eternities is another option for Commander fans: Commander Box League events. These events offer Commander fans an exciting way to enjoy the latest set alongside Prerelease events. With unlimited scheduling during Prerelease week, July 25–31, we recommend scheduling times throughout the Prerelease weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) to kick off the event and then events throughout Prerelease week to invite players to return and continue playing their decks.

Booster Draft Events

You are welcome to run Booster Draft events that use Play Boosters from the new set plus your free-of-charge Prerelease prizing Play Boosters. Prerelease events run using the Booster Draft format will not have special scheduling templates, nor will they count towards future Prerelease Pack and prize support allocations. You can use the "Create Custom" tool to schedule these in Wizards EventLink.

At-Home Prerelease

At-Home Prerelease is available all week beginning Friday, July 25. For At-Home Prerelease, players are provided a Prerelease Pack to play with outside your store. Like in-store Prerelease, enrolling players in an At-Home event will contribute to your play metrics and future Prerelease allocations.

At-Home Prerelease Packs may be provisioned, and Prerelease early sales may begin, as soon as your store is open for the day, but structured events must wait until 12 p.m. local time on the first day of Prerelease.

Schedule and Promote Your Prerelease Events

Tournament Prerelease events (with rounds) and player-list-only events (without rounds) are both available to be scheduled from the Prerelease event template on Wizards EventLink. Select "Swiss" as the pairing method when scheduling a structured tournament-style Prerelease or "Player List Only" to schedule a casual Prerelease where players find their own matches.

Commander Box League events are also available to be scheduled during Prerelease week only using the "Commander Box League" template.

Boost your event visibility with available marketing resources, including Edge of Eternities digital marketing assets. WPN stores in the US, Canada, Guam, and Puerto Rico can also purchase customizable materials from the WPN Marketing Portal, and WPN Premium stores in these regions have a $300 seasonal promotional marketing credit for Edge of Eternities that expires on August 25.
