SEALED Prerelease Tournaments
Feb. 7th-9th at Alternate Universes

We’re holding Magic: the Gathering Aetherdrift SEALED Prerelease tournaments Feb. 7th-9th at all three of our stores!

Thanks to their popularity, we’re expanding our Super Saver Prereleases at AU Holmes & AU Wilmington!

Super Saver Prereleases at AU Holmes and AU Wilmington feature discounted $25 entry fees along with a different prize structure! This means for $25 you will get at least 7 Aetherdrift Play Booster Packs: 6 from your Prerelease Pack and at least 1 pack from prizing. That’s like paying $3.50 per pack! All of our Blue Bell prereleases will stay the same, with normal entry and prize payouts. See the new prize structure at the bottom of this post!

All Prerelease tournaments are 3 rounds. At the tournament start time, each player is given a Prerelease Pack to build a deck and then play for 3 rounds. Prizes can be collected after Round 3. Lands will be provided for free at the event!

Format: Sealed Deck

Each player gets one Aetherdrift Prerelease Pack to use to build a 40+ card deck and play for 3 rounds. Each one contains:

  • 6 Aetherdrift Play Boosters; each Play Booster contains 14 Magic cards
  • 1 foil, year-stamped Rare or Mythic Rare
  • 1 deck box
  • 1 Spindown die

To play in official MTG events, you’ll need a Wizards Account email. It’s easy and free!
Login with your Magic Arena account, link your DCI number to an account, or make a new account here:
