Attending both an Academy session and a follow-up Prerelease earns players a set of wearable Loki horns while supplies last.
Official Prerelease events follow from June 19 to June 25, 2026. Stores will host traditional 1v1 Sealed play or Two-Headed Giant events using Prerelease Packs containing six Play Boosters, a spindown die, and a stamped foil rare or mythic card. The expansion officially launches worldwide on June 26, 2026.
