Dragon's Maze

With the Dragon's Maze Prerelease only days away, I thought it was time to explain what you get and how the Maze will work...


In your Guild Prerelease Pack for Dragon's Maze you will receive:

The appropriate guild booster pack from the set it released in (so... Return to Ravnica if you choose Azorius, Izzet, Rakdos, Golgari, or Selesnya; Gatecrash if you choose Orzhov, Dimir, Gruul, Boros, or Simic). This guild booster pack will be just like the one from that guild's original Prerelease.
A guild booster pack from a guild of the other set. This second guild booster pack will share a color with your chosen guild, pretty much guaranteeing you'll get more cards you can use and also helping you splash a third color if you choose. (I made a handy chart for you so you can see what I mean. It's at the end of this section.)
Four Dragon's Maze booster packs. These are normal super-cool booster packs from Dragon's Maze, as I talked about above.

Unlike the previous two Prereleases, for Dragon's Maze there are a few things your Guild Prerelease Pack will not contain: a guild promo card from the earlier Prereleases, Spindown life counter, sticker, or guild welcome letter.

If your guild is…you will get one…and one…plus…

The Implicit Maze



What does it mean to run the Implicit Maze? It means playing Magic on behalf of your guild!

First off, you will receive a button with your guild symbol on it to clearly identify your affiliation. This is important because...

On the poster will be ten guild symbols that track how far each guild has moved through the Implicit Maze. Between rounds of play, we will advance the various guild symbols based upon how many matches that guild's representatives won and how many players are in the event. Every victory you achieve helps move your guild forward through the Implicit Maze.

Guild pride isn't the only thing on the line, here. There are also prizes to be had!

Everyone who participates in the Implicit Maze will receive a premium (foil) basic land promo card. No matter how well your guild does in the race, you will at least get that! And did I mention it's pretty sweet looking? I didn't? Well, it is! It's a special alternate-art Plains exclusive to the Prerelease.



But wait, it gets better! If your guild makes it to the end of the Implicit Maze but isn't the first guild to do so, you will receive a special achievement card with a code you can enter into your Planeswalker Points page. You'll be able to proudly point to it and say stuff like, "Yeah, look at me. I'm a Maze Runner!" Not that you would, because who talks like that? But you could!

And if your guild successfully navigates the Implicit Maze first you will receive a different achievement for your Planeswalker Points page so you can show you are a Champion of the Maze. Then all the world can see that you and your guild knew what you were doing at theDragon's Maze Prerelease!
