Launch Parties provide a venue for you to buy the new release of Magic cards as soon as they’re available and play right away with other players in your local area. Run in local game and hobby stores around the world the weekend the new set is available in stores, Launch Parties are low-key introductions to the cards and a great way to meet new players.
Formats are varied at Launch Parties, including Sealed Deck and Booster Draft. In Sealed Deck, you build your deck out of a set number of cards given to you at the start of the event. A Booster Draft involves selecting cards from a larger pool of players, usually eight, and then building your deck out of the cards you draft.
If you enjoyed playing at a Launch Party, you should look into playing at the next Prerelease Event, along with Friday Night Magic.
Schedule
Launch Parties are held at local retail stores the first weekend a new card set is available for purchase. The events usually consist of 15-30 players at each location.
