What to Sell at Prerelease

Prerelease week is the time for your players to get their hands on the latest set for the first time—and with this crossover focused on Commander play, you can draw interest from both your Dungeons & Dragons fans and your engaged Magic: The Gathering players.

Prerelease Early Sales Promotion

As usual, your store will have an allocation of Set and Draft Boosters depending on your region to use for Prerelease Early Sales. Take this time to encourage players interested in exploring what this set has to offer through Set Boosters.

Prerelease prizing will work differently from normal, as well: you will receive one Set Booster box (containing 18 Set Boosters) for each case (containing 15 Prerelease Packs) that you purchase.

We recommend you use these Set Boosters for participation at Prerelease and use any extras to incentivize your players to bring their friends along, or as a reward to players who help others build decks.

WPN Premium stores will receive an allocation of Collector Booster displays for sales during Prerelease week.

Prerelease Packs

Languages available: English, Chinese Simplified, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish

For Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate, the Prerelease Pack is a little different from the average Magic set.

Each Prerelease Pack contains the following:

• 3 Draft Boosters


• 1 foil, year-stamped rare or mythic rare


• 1 Dungeon Card


• 1 Magic: The Gathering Arena code card

A Dungeon Card is a unique card that shares the same mechanic as Dungeon Cards from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms: the card is not included in a player's deck size or sideboard and is activated by the Initiative mechanic.

However, keep in mind that the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Dungeon Cards are not making a return for Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.

Please note that your allocation of Prerelease Packs will not be as large as typical prerelease allocations. You will be allocated a percentage of your largest recent Prerelease, which will vary by region and is based on relative Commander popularity.

What's in Your Marketing Kit

Your marketing kit will help boost your efforts in sharing the hype of the second Commander Legends set to draw players and their friends to your store. After all, this crossover set is multiplayer-focused, just like Dungeons & Dragons itself.

Customers can receive a Buy-a-Box Promo with sales of any of the following:

• Draconic Dissent


• Exit from Exile

Each Commander Deck includes an additional 2-card Collector Booster Sample Pack, to give your players the opportunity to preview the coolest card treatments from the set. The Commander Decks also introduce 10 Magic cards not found anywhere else for Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.
