Marketing and Play Materials
New Welcome Decks
The new Secrets of Strixhaven Welcome Decks are updated 40-card, single-color starter decks designed to introduce new players to Magic, each containing a reward insert redeemable for a physical bumper sticker or digital MTG Arena packs.
When you give out these Welcome Decks, invite players to complete a brief player survey. Stores in North America will find a flyer with a QR code that will link players to the survey included in the marketing kit; stores in other regions can download and print this flyer so players can easily participate.
For more complete details on the new Welcome Decks and player survey, visit the Secrets of Strixhaven Dates & Details article.
Strixhaven Bumper Stickers
These are awarded when a player redeems a physical reward insert from random boxes of the new Welcome Decks. Follow the customer redemption process detailed in the Dates & Details article to award these while supplies last.
Commander Party Play Aids and College Cards
Commander Party College Cards (Fronts and Backs)
Commander Party Play Aid
Commander Party is a narrative-driven Commander event held twice each season, featuring themed materials that give players a fresh, flavorful way to enjoy the format they love.
For Secrets of Strixhaven, Commander Party is a school-themed event where players join one of five colleges and prepare unique spells as they meet in-game achievements. After casting all three spells, they unlock a powerful, college-specific thesis ability.
Magic Presents: Open the Archive Materials
Open the Archive Emblem and Blind-Pack Challenge Coin Boxes
Magic Presents: Open the Archive is a special Draft event where each player begins with an emblem that lets them spend mana as though it were any color to cast Mystical Archive cards, enabling splashy, flexible gameplay. Players who finish with a winning record earn a blind-pack Mystical Archive challenge coin. Collecting the coins gives players an incentive to return and play again.
There will also be a digital reward for participating in Magic Presents: Open the Archive. Visit the Secrets of Strixhaven Dates & Details article for more details.
Promo Packs
Secrets of Strixhaven Regular and Foil Promo Packs
New Secrets of Strixhaven Promo Packs are included in your marketing kit and are intended to last across the next three seasons, through in the first week of September. No additional Promo Packs will be produced for the Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes or Magic: The Gathering® | The Hobbit™ seasons, so plan your distribution accordingly.
Set Poster
WPN stores in all regions except North America will receive the Secrets of Strixhaven set poster in their marketing kit as usual.
Stores in the North America region should have received their Secrets of Strixhaven set posters in a separate delivery in early February (this shipment also included the Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes and Magic: The Gathering® | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set posters).
Tri-fold Table Signage
These tri-fold table signs advertise the product line, explain draft format deck archetypes, and promote the Magic Presents: Open the Archive event. Display these at key locations in your store, such as your point-of-sale area and on tables in your play space to aid players and promote products.
Merchandising Header
Use the merchandising header to clearly identify the Secrets of Strixhaven product locations by placing it above product on wall units or shelving, or in a sign holder on tables or countertops.
Countertop Standee (WPN Premium Only)
Place the countertop standee at your point of sale, such as on the counter or a shelf just behind it, to keep the set visible to shoppers as they check out. Its compact 12-inch footprint and rounded top are designed to preserve counter space and sightlines while drawing attention to the set.
Consider displaying past countertop standees together on a dedicated shelf, in your play space, or in a front-window display to continue promoting available sets.
