    Revisited: A Celebration of The Games You Might Have Missed

    Look, we know you’ve heard it so many times that it’s a cliché, so we’re going to just skip the “this year has looked different” or “we’re in unprecedented circumstances” and get straight to the fun stuff. A lot of amazing games and products came out in the last 18 months. So, how about a weekend dedicated to all those great games you might have missed?

    Ikoria Prerelease Tournament at Home

    You may be wondering what to do with your prerelease pack now that you have it. While we can’t always meet each other in person, we can still enjoy a prerelease with a little ingenuity. In case this is your first prerelease, these Magic: the Gathering packs contain 6 booster packs from the newest Magic set, just enough to build a small 40 card deck. The purpose of these packs is to give you a little introduction to the new set. Typically, these packs are also used to create a fun deck for a sealed tournament at your LGS. Since most of our local game stores are closed for events, you may be wondering what to do with your pack. This blog post is dedicated to teaching you how to set up and play a prerelease tournament at home for Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths with your friends.
