One of our favorite parts of a new release is playing with those new cards. Cracking booster packs for the first time, and sharing in the excitement of new cards and new interactions. We are excited to bring that experience online with the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease event!
All you need is a Prerelease Kit of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and some basic lands and you can build a 40 card deck to battle with throughout the event. Support your local game store by picking up a Prerelease Kit there and, if they are doing an online prerelease event, you should also check it out. Our event will run all weekend so hopefully you can join us when you’re done!
In order to play on SpellTable, there's just a couple of things you'll need. Of course, first and foremost, you'll need your Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease Kit and basic lands to make your deck. You can pick these up from your local game store (find the nearest store to you here).
After that, you'll need some dice and tokens, or at least something to clearly indicate tokens.
For the technical side of things, you'll need a computer with internet access and a webcam (or a cellphone with a camera). You'll log into SpellTable using your Wizards account. Don't worry if you don't have one yet, you can create a Wizards account here!
Lastly, while not essential, we recommend having a microphone of some sort. More often than not, this will make things a lot smoother in games!
Now that you're ready to play head over to the Discord and hang out with the other players there until July 16.
The event will take place from the 16th July, over the following hours:
-
Day 1 - July 16th at 3PM PT - 9PM PT
-
Day 2 - July 17th at 6AM PT - 9PM PT
-
Day 3 - July 18th at 6AM PT - 6PM PT
Ahead of the event, you’ll be able to choose a team to champion in your games in the event! It’s not just about wins and losses—you’ll earn points for your team by completing challenges during your Sealed matches! You’ll be earning points towards a larger community competition.
Teams will each have a group of well-known personalities from the Magic community as leaders to chat and play with, and their own exclusive channels in Discord to communicate, strategize and help with deckbuilding!
Challenges throughout the event will earn points for your team, both in games and through Discord. We’ll keep a leaderboard updated with who’s in the lead, so you’ll know if your team is sitting pretty as king of the hill, or who’s hot on your heels to take the top spot!
This event is about more than just ordinary Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Sealed. You’ll also be able to team up with other players to face off against challenging World Bosses! Players will sign up similar to how they join a game, but not everyone can fight the Boss at the same time. Groups of three will be randomly chosen to face off with our World Boss representatives. Players not chosen can follow along on a Discord stream.
Throughout the weekend we’ll be celebrating Adventures in the Forgotten Realms with lots of different activities. So if you have some downtime between matches or are not able to play, you can still hang out with other players to participate in text-based games and challenges in the Discord server throughout the event. Try your hand at Magic Trivia, or show off your Sealed deck skills in the Deckbuilding Help channel. You can even test your drafting knowledge against some of your favorite pros by making first picks from different packs.
