MTG Presents: The Hobbit Prerelease Event

Magic: The Gathering – The Hobbit Prerelease: An Unexpected Journey

"I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone." — Gandalf the Grey

The Road goes ever on, and it leads straight to Pro Hobbies! Step beyond your round green door and into the sprawling lands of Middle-earth for the highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering – The Hobbit Prerelease. Whether you are a wizened Planeswalker of many ages, or a freshly hired Burglar drawn by the allure of Erebor’s gold, this is your first opportunity to open, build, and do battle with the newest Universes Beyond set.

Gather your company, crack open your packs, and face down fire-drakes, goblins of the Misty Mountains, and ancient sorcery.

🎒 YOUR BURGLAR’S PACK

⚠️ GANDALF'S COUNSEL 

• Limited Capacity: Seats in the Prerelease hall are fewer than the Dwarves of Thorin's company! Pre-registration is highly recommended to guarantee your kit.

• The Companion App (Your Digital Palantír): Please download the MTG Companion App on your mobile device and ensure your Wizards account is active prior to arrival, lest the matchmaking magic be delayed.
