Open Dueling
Open Dueling is for newer players who may not be comfortable building a sealed
deck. Open Dueling should be reported as casual play (player list only) in Wizards
Event Reporter.
Congratulations!
Hosting a Magic: The Gathering® Prerelease event is the best way to get players
excited about Dragons of Tarkir™ because this is the first opportunity players
will have to play with it.
The Dragons of Tarkir Prerelease also presents players with a special opportunity to open a Prerelease Pack,
choose a clan to raise their banner for, and build a deck with the help of a specially-designed seeded booster
pack. In addition, each Dragons of Tarkir Prerelease Pack includes an emblem to identify the player’s chosen
clan. The battle for the fate of the clans begins at the Prerelease!

Choosing a Dragons of Tarkir Tarkir Dragonfury –
Prerelease Pack
The Dragons of Tarkir
Prerelease Event
Information
There are five Dragons of Tarkir Prerelease Packs, one for
each clan. Each comes with a seeded booster pack that
corresponds with that clan’s colors. When registering
for the Prerelease tournament, each player chooses a
Prerelease Pack. The seeded booster pack will assist
players in building a deck by providing a starting point
in their chosen clan’s colors. Each seeded booster pack
contains a promo card, which players may include in their
tournament decks.
Stores may run up to three events at
Core level, or six at Advanced and Advanced
Plus levels. Future Prerelease product
allocations are based on participation in
these main events. You may run your events
as Sealed Deck or Two-Headed Giant Sealed
Deck at any time on March 21–22, 2015. Prereleases
do not have side events.
The minimum deck size for Sealed Deck is 40 cards. Please
allow players time to construct a deck. Newer players may
need more time than experienced players, so allow at least 30
minutes for deckbuilding.
Your players will earn prize cards based on their best score
(out of their two attempts):

Encourage players in the same clan to sit and build their decks
together. Each player still uses only the cards opened in his or
4
her Prerelease Pack. However, getting
a clan-mate’s input on
deckbuilding should help each player build a stronger deck.
