What Else Can I Do?
In addition to the main Prerelease Tournament event, some locations may offer Open Dueling, Team, Booster Draft, and additional Sealed Deck public events. Other product mixes are allowable as long as each player in the event receives the same number and type of packs.
Open Dueling — Open Dueling is a casual format primarily for players not participating in the main Prerelease Tournament. Open Dueling players receive 1 Worldwake Intro Pack chosen at random and 1 Comet Storm promo card (while supplies last). Open Dueling players play against other Open Dueling participants as well as main tournament players who are between matches. After an Open Dueling participant has played five matches, upon confirmation of the results by the event organizer that player will receive one complimentary booster pack provided by the organizer as a prize.
Team Events — Playing with friends as a team is a fun and exciting way to enjoy Magic. For Two-Headed Giant events, the recommended product mix is 4 Worldwake booster packs and 4 Zendikar booster packs per team.
Booster Draft — Players participating in a booster draft event should each receive 2 Worldwake booster packs and 1 Zendikar booster pack.
Sealed Deck — As with the main Prerelease Tournament event, each player in a Sealed Deck event will receive 3 Worldwake and 3 Zendikar booster packs to build a deck.
