Magic: The Gathering Prerelease — The Hobbit
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit — and from that humble beginning, one of fantasy's greatest adventures unfolds on the tabletop. Be among the very first to crack packs and play with The Hobbit — a Universes Beyond expansion that follows Bilbo Baggins from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain, bringing Tolkien's beloved classic to Magic: The Gathering as the first Middle-earth set legal in Standard. Whether you're a longtime Magic player, a Tolkien devotee, or both, this prerelease is your chance to experience the set before it officially releases.
Event Highlights
-
Prerelease Kit: Each player receives an official The Hobbit Prerelease Kit, containing six Play Boosters, a traditional foil rare or mythic rare card, and a spindown die — everything you need to build a sealed deck on-site.
-
Sealed Deck Play: Construct a 40-card deck using only the contents of your prerelease kit and battle it out against fellow players in a fun, casual-competitive prerelease environment.
-
Prize Support for All Players: Participants will earn additional The Hobbit booster packs as prize support — so everyone walks away with extra cards to add to their collection.
-
Early Access to the Set: Get hands-on with Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield, Smaug, and the full Company of Dwarves — along with returning Adventure mechanics — before the expansion officially releases on August 14th.
- Perfect for All Skill Levels: No deck required. Prereleases are beginner-friendly while still offering plenty of depth for experienced players.
