The Magic: the Gathering Dragon’s Maze prerelease tournaments will be held Saturday, April 27th & Sunday April 28th at all three AU stores.

Format for all prerelease tournaments is sealed deck except for the Sealed 2-Headed Giant Tournament at Blue Bell. Entry fee is $25.00 if you preregister, $30.00 at the door.  All preregistrations must be paid.  Preregistration ends April 25th.   Two Headed Giant entry fee is $50.00 per team.

There’s also a maze! Players (that’s you) will work collectively to advance their chosen guild through the Implicit Maze each round. There are prizes for each guild that gets all the way through the maze, and special prizes for the first guild that does it. And when the maze is completed, all participating players will receive a premium (foil) basic land promo card!

The Guild Prerelease packs at the Dragon’s Maze Prerelease are going to be a bit different than those you used at the Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash Prereleases. Inside they will have:

• One Return to Ravnica Guild Booster Pack
• Four Dragon’s Maze Booster Packs
• One Gatecrash Guild Booster Pack

You’ll get to select your favorite guild from among all of the ten guilds of Ravnica! That guild pack will have a secret allied guild, which will share one color with your chosen guild, and also always be from the opposite set as your chosen guild.

So let’s look at an example: You’re a Dimir player, so that’s the guild you pick. That guild pack might have Return to Ravnica‘s Azorius as its secret ally (although it could also be Izzet, Rakdos, or Golgari). That guild pack would have four Dragon’s Maze booster packs, one Gatecrash Dimir guild Prerelease pack, and one Return to Ravnica Azorius guild Prerelease pack. The two guild packs will be the same as they were in their original Prerelease, but will not have that set’s Prerelease promo for those guilds. The guild Prerelease packs will not contain a Spindown life counter, sticker, or guild welcome letter.

Everyone who plays in a Dragon’s Maze Prerelease will get the same alternate-art promo foil card, while supplies last. This card will not be playable in your Prerelease deck.

All tournaments will be 4 rounds regardless of the number of players.    Pack prizes will be awarded based on the number of match wins as follows:

4 – 0 record: 6 packs of Dragon’s Maze
3 – 0 – 1 record: 5 packs of Dragon’s Maze
3 – 1 record: 4 packs of Dragon’s Maze
Everyone else receives 1 pack of Dragon’s Maze
