Card games. Are prerelease MTG cards worth anything? How can you tell if a MTG card is prerelease? What comes in a MTG pre release kit?
Are pre release cards worth more? Why does my magic card have a date stamp? What is the most expensive cards in Zendikar Rising? Are prerelease cards foil? Gamers love sharing their passions and this was an opportunity for the deeply converted to work on converting the newcomers.
Having only attended the Open House a week earlier, my entire collection of Magic cards consisted of the two 30 card decks and 1 foil land card that make up the intro decks. The prerelease pack is incredible. You get six 15 card booster packs, one guaranteed foil card and even a cool, themed D20 to serve as a life tracker. In addition to the midnight release, I attended a 2-Headed Giant event with my partner and my daughter later that weekend, so all told we walked away with 4 of these prerelease sets.
So despite having played for less than a week, I managed a win-loss record of on Friday night and for 3rd place on Sunday when playing 2-Headed Giant with my kid.
Does this mean that my 8-year old and I are some kind of Magic savants with unnatural skills? Decks can only be constructed using the cards from your prerelease box. In 2-Headed Giant, you can freely share cards between partners, so you do end up having a few more options when building your deck, but otherwise you are restricted to those 90 cards you drew.
The store running the event had land cards you could borrow to make any deck you wanted to work, so you have to build a 40 card deck using the 17 suggested land cards out of ONLY the 90 cards that came in your prerelease pack. Sometimes you get lucky and get a super powerful rare or three, like I did, with my Sandwurm Convergence, or both me and my kid getting boosters that contained an Approach of the Second Sun that your opponent just has no answer to.
You try to build a deck that has answers to everything. So you try to hedge your bets and build the best deck you can. Is it the best deck at the event? Does it have a chance with a bit of luck on your draws to beat other decks there? After your packs are open and your deck is built, the only thing left is for you to play games and have fun. This is fundamentally the best take away from my prerelease event.
I managed to connect with people and make friends because of the casual, best-of-3 tournament format. As mentioned earlier, the community is incredibly welcoming and kind. You might meet a Spike competitive player here or there based on your local area but most players are there to have fun. So, have fun with it! Build something crazy and make sure you explore everything the new set offers. Prereleases are almost always worth it, whether you measure it in cost or in fun.
Your LGS will probably also offer some kind of prize as well, which means you can walk away with more if you end up doing well in your matches! This tool is fantastic not only for finding local events near you like prereleases, drafts, or Friday Night Magic, but it can also show you all of the stores in your area where you might be able to find Magic products.
There are a few ways to register for prerelease events. Some stores offer digital registration on their websites while others require you to call the store and sign up or even just head inside and pay ahead of time. Make sure to contact your LGS to find the best option that works for you and the safety of yourself and others. If your local store is charging more than that then you might want to consider looking elsewhere.
Some stores may charge more but include additional stuff beyond just the regular prerelease kit. Plan for about 4 to 5 hours in most cases.
If you play four minute rounds with some extra time built in , you can imagine the event will take about five hours. This allows an hour for deck building plus an hour for each round. Most events are typically between three to five minute rounds.
Take Inventory Illustration by Greg Staples. The contents of the kit can change from set to set. The prerelease foil promos are totally legal in all formats. They just have a special foil stamp on them to show that they came from a prerelease kit. Prerelease promos can sometimes go for the same price as a regular pack foil but most of these are around the same price as the regular non-foil variant thanks to the wide array of different borders and art styles.
