If you’re working toward WPN Premium, or considering joining the Path to Premium, check out the upcoming deadlines and associated benefits for the remainder of 2022, including the opportunity to host exclusive Commander Parties with a storyline that connects across multiple set releases.

Being a WPN Premium store gives you access to exclusive benefits that allow you to continue growing your gaming community and improve your events. On average, stores take around two and a half months to achieve a WPN Premium designation.

September 2 marks the next approaching deadline, so be sure to reach out to your Development Specialist to get started on your Path to WPN Premium as soon as possible. Certain WPN Premium benefits may change or be amended over time.

The Brothers' War: Increased Collector Boosters for Prerelease Early Sales

Deadline: September 2, 2022

As part of your Prerelease Early Sales Promotion, WPN Premium locations in some regions will receive an increased allocation of Collector Boosters for early sales; in other regions, WPN Premium stores are the only stores with Collector Boosters available for Prerelease Early Sales.*

The Brothers' War: Host an Exclusive Commander Party

Deadline: September 2, 2022

Player decisions determine the course of the story in interactive Commander Party events. Exclusive to WPN Premium stores, these events bring your Commander community to your store for a unique event experience. You track players' decisions using a poster that you'll use for every Commander Party for this Standard season—through the Fall 2023 set release.

Commander Parties offer a layer of interactivity that livens up the Commander format for your players; their influence over the story means two stores in the same city can have completely different experiences in-store. It's a unique, memorable event for players that encourages them to come back to your store for more events.

February 2023 Standard Set: Commander Party and Collector Boosters for Prerelease Early Sales

Deadline: November 11, 2022

As with every Standard set release, your WPN Premium store will receive an increased allocation of Collector Boosters for Prerelease Early Sales. In some regions, WPN Premium stores will be the only place where Collector Boosters are available for the early sales promotion. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to host Commander Parties for this set, as well.*

Summer 2023 Standard Set: Custom Store Name Promos for Store Championship

Deadline for Store Championship Promos: September 23, 2022

Deadline for Additional Benefits: February 17, 2023

Store Championships are one-day-only competitive events that give players the ability to test their mettle against other members of the community to earn awesome promos. Your store's name can be custom printed onto your promos for the event, adding an extra personal touch to make the event even more memorable for players.

To have your store's name custom printed on your Store Championship promos for summer 2023 Store Championships, you must achieve WPN Premium by September 23—this deadline is earlier than the regular WPN Premium deadline for this set due to production timelines, so be sure to mark your calendar so you don't miss it.

Achieving WPN Premium by February 17, 2023 earns your store the ability to host Commander Parties and the Collector Booster allocation quantities discussed above.

Earning a WPN Premium designation marks your store as one of the best game stores in the world—and we strive to offer benefits that show that off to your community. Once your store achieves WPN Premium, you become eligible for all subsequent benefits after the date of your designation. If you haven't started your Path to WPN Premium yet, you still have time. Reach out to your Business Development Specialist and get your store on the Path to WPN Premium today.

*WPN Premium stores in Europe, Middle East, and Africa will receive a flat allocation of Collector Boosters but will also be able to purchase more from their distributors to sell during Prerelease. Please reach out to your distributor for availability details.
