Welcome Decks — Magic: The Gathering® | The Hobbit
Welcome Decks are promotional materials sent to WPN member stores in select regions ahead of certain Magic: The Gathering releases. These are 40-card decks of a single color used to introduce new players to Magic through the Magic Academy event system and other in-store demos.
When you give out a Welcome Deck, please invite players to complete a brief survey. Stores can download and print this flyer with the QR code for easy use.
- Welcome Decks are used for Magic Academy: Learn to Play, and other new-player events and demos.
- Magic Academy: Learn to Play events can be scheduled on the spot for walk-in demos, and the staff member that provided the demo experience can also be enrolled in the event to reach the two-player minimum.
- Registration with a Wizards Account is required for Magic Academy: Learn to Play events. At the organizer's discretion, registered players who receive a Welcome Deck demo may keep the deck afterward.
- Welcome Decks cannot be sold outright but can be provided to players at Magic Academy: Learn to Play events that require paid entry.
