Here are the details on the Prerelease!
- Main Event -
Cost: $25 for 6 boosters to build the deck you’ll play in the tournament, plus a special Promo Card for everyone, while supplies last! Plus 2 more packs at the end of the tournament!

Each player will receive 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs when we tell everyone to go. Players will each build their own 40 card deck to play (using only those cards from the 6 packs, no trading cards with others until after the Tourney) and will also decide how many energies they will want to include in their decks (basic energies are provided at the event). Everyone will then have 30 minutes to build their decks, using only the cards from the packs they received. That totally levels the playing field… because from the best player around to the newest youngster there, everyone has an equal chance at this tourney because you never know what cards you’ll get in your packs! That’s what makes it so fun!

Remember, it’s a tournament for fun, so don’t stress over building ‘the perfect deck’… just have fun with it! Once the decks are built, the tourney will begin. For this event you play for 4 prizes with 20 minute rounds, and we usually play for 3 rounds. Also keep in mind the spirit of a Prerelease is non-competitive, with no real pressure to win, which is why everyone will receive prize packs at the end. The main thing is to have fun & check out all the new cards!

Prizes:ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more prize packs at the end of the tourney (making a total of 8 packs, PLUS the Promo card)


- Draft Side Event -
Only players who have participated in the Main Prerelease may play in the Side Event afterwards. We’ll have sign ups and details at the store.

$15 DRAFT- Here’s something new and fun for those of you who play in the Prerelease… after the morning event AND after the afternoon event we’ll be having 8 player 4 pack draft side events for $15, so if you finished up your fun time playing in the Prerelease and just wish you could keep going for some MORE fun, then sign up for the Draft afterwards! It’s a blast! We’ll keep them going in pods of 8 players. Winner gets 4 packs.
