Use Promos and Treatments to Drive The Brothers' War Hype

Upcoming promos and newly revealed card treatments can help you drive event registration for The Brothers' War.

Larger-than-life mechs will clash in The Brothers' War as players follow heroes back in time to witness a historic battle. This set is all about artifacts, constructs, and robot battles of epic proportions.

As you begin marketing and event preparations, you can take advantage of new reveals and event promos to draw community interest in your events for The Brothers' War season, which kicks off on November 11.


Show Off Retro Artifacts to Collectors

The Brothers' War continues to hit nostalgic tones for your enfranchised fans and long-time collectors—Retro Artifacts are iconic artifact cards from Magic's history, reprinted in a retro frame that emphasizes the time travel element of the set's story.

Customers can find Retro Artifacts in Draft, Set, and Collector Boosters in both traditional foil and nonfoil. Use these cards to generate conversation with your enfranchised players and encourage them to preorder products with your store.

Players may also find the Schematic treatment version of each artifact in the set when opening Draft, Set, and Collector Boosters. Schematic Artifacts show off a mock blueprint of each artifact, pulling players further into the story by giving them a look at how these powerful objects were constructed.

Plus, a selection of each Schematic Artifact will be Serialized—a first for any Magic set. Serialized Schematic Artifacts are found only in Collector Boosters and will show a number on the card out of the total number of that card printed: for example, 1/500 . This means your players who open Serialized cards will be the only player in the world with that specific number.

Your biggest collectors won't want to miss this opportunity: share these cards as often as you can to build engagement around the set.


Share the Buy-a-Box Promo to Drive Sales

We previously announced a big change for The Brothers' War Prerelease Early Sales, you can sell the full lineup of products for The Brothers' War—in any quantity. So, whether your customers are looking to try opening a Collector Booster for the first time or want to dive in with a full display of Set Boosters, you can connect them with the product they want.

To encourage more customers to pick up a full display of Boosters during the Prerelease Early Sales period, you can show off the Buy-a-Box promo, Mishra's Foundry. This promo is also printed in a retro frame, to match the rest of the set's historic theming!
