MTG PRE-RELEASE KITS ON SALE NOW!!!

With new, game-changing mechanics , some truly titanic creatures, a splash of three-color goodness, and even Commander decks to boot, Ikoria is a real eye-opener!

This time around, the world—our world, Earth—is in a different spot than normal, and so Prereleases are going to look a little different. But there are still ways to get in on the fun!

So, what should you expect? How can you still participate even while being socially distant? Let's run through it today!

A BEHEMOTH AMOUNT OF FUN

Prereleases have always been my favorite Magic events of the year.

Prereleases are events where it's your first chance to try out the new set—and to me, the heart and soul of the Prerelease experience is the energy of getting those cards and playing with them. And even if you're just doing that at home, you'll still be doing it with so many other people around the world as part of the global experience and conversation. Thanks to the internet, we're all connected!

The Prerelease of a set is great because the set is totally new, the footing is fairly equal as everybody plays with the set for the very first time, and you just get to relax and have fun exploring the new cards. It's a lot of fun for old and new players alike!

All right. So, let's go over perhaps the most important part: ordering product for your Prerelease! After all, you can't very well play if you don't know where to get the supplies you need.

THESE ARE ON OUR WEBSITE NOW .... https://www.kdgames.co.uk/product-page/mtg-ikoria-prerelease-kit

While most Prereleases are run as an in-store event, because of the COVID-19 virus, as a special exception, players can pick up Prerelease packs and take them home! 

And if you're not able to get to a local store for any reason, you can still play on Magic: The Gathering Arena! They have Sealed events starting April 16, and the play experience is much the same. It's a great time to try out MTG Arena if you haven't already.



WHAT DO I GET IN THE KIT?

Inside, you'll get six Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths boosters . . . plus, a random stamped rare or mythic rare card as your Prerelease foil that could be any rare or mythic rare in the set!

Then, of course, you'll get a couple other goodies—like a spindown life counter to keep track of your life total. Actually, you know what? Let's just crack one open and take a look!

Journey into Nyx - Intro Decks

Mortals of Myth

Assemble a mighty army of heroic Soldiers and Warriors, and power them up with spells that unlock their potential. Your opponent will be put to the test in combat by creatures that could become gigantic at a moment's notice.

The "Mortals of Myth" deck focuses on getting lots of creatures with the heroic ability on the battlefield and triggering that ability with spells with the strive mechanic, which allows you to pay extra mana to increase the number of targets the spell has. For example, you can use Ajani's Presence to give a single creature +1/+1 and indestructible, or you can wait until the late game and funnel all your mana into Ajani's Presence to give that bonus to multiple creatures. Skyspear Cavalry doesn't have a heroic ability, but flying and double strike make it well-suited to take advantage of this deck's power-pumping spells.

If your opponent is putting up too much of a defense against your onslaught, you have tools at your disposal to help you push damage through. Oppressive Rays, for instance, makes it more difficult for an opposing creature to attack or block. Akroan Mastiff can lock down your opponent's best creature each turn, while Banishing Lightremoves a problematic permanent from the battlefield altogether.

There are many other paths you can explore to power up your heroic army. Launch the Fleet is a strive spell that lets you double your number of troops at a low cost, and it's an especially efficient way to trigger heroic. If you want to really push the aggression, Fabled Hero from the Theros^™ set combines the best of two worlds with heroic and double strike.

This Grixis deck's commander Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge is in the game for the long haul, exiling cards off the top of everyone's deck and allowing you to cast the most broken spell you find.

There's plenty of fun interactions in the deck to explore. One fun combo is controlling a Nekusar, the Mindrazer or Price of Knowledge on the battlefield and then activating Jace's Archivist or using any of the other cards that force your opponents to draw. Most of the action happens later on in this deck, such as casting Army of the Damned or Cruel Ultimatum, and early creatures like True-Name Nemesis,Vampire Nighthawk, and Augur of Bolas play a pivotal part in ensuring you live long enough to cast your huge spells with or without the help from Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge. Hooded Horror is an unblockable threat when you're attacking the player with the most creatures.

Curse of Chaos, Curse of Inertia, and Curse of Shallow Graves are three new auras that you'll use to "curse" one of your rivals with. Nivix Guildmage allows you to copy any of the powerful spells you play or snag with Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge and Charmbreaker Devils will randomly Regrowth one spell each turn, perhaps that Illusionist's Gambit which saved your hide and killed one of your rivals last turn. With plenty of mana fixing from Evolving Wilds to Opal Palace you shouldn't have any color problems with the included lands, although making a few upgrades with the new Temple lands or any other powerful nonbasics you have kicking around certainly wouldn't hurt.

Sol Ring and Commander Tower return, however Lightning Greaves has been replaced with Swiftfoot Boots. Speaking of reprints, there's quite an enormous value in the deck. Massive isn't even an appropriate word to use when describing the amazing amount of value crammed into the deck, which retails for £24.99. Baleful Strix is an uncommon that was printed in "Planechase (2012 Edition)" and Strategic Planning is a very hard to find uncommon from "Portal: Three Kingdoms" . Additionally, a few cards appear for the first time in new the card frame and with alternate art. Granted these cards and others reprinted in "Mind Seize" will most likely go down in value, however getting a whole deck of cards for less than market price of just one of them is an total steal.
