MTG: Prerelease 2HG Sealed – #2/2 The Hobbit

COMPANION APP CODE: 

All MTG events are run by the official Companion App. Please download and sign up BEFORE you arrive to the store. The event code will be added here if there’s time and it will be visible at the store screens. Adding players as a “guest” into our event does not generate more promos for the players. Players that use Companion App (CA) earn official (and unofficial) promos since player metrics is what determines the amount of promos we get for players.

CREDITING MTG CARDS & ETIQUETTE

PLEASE, NO CREDITING FOR ENTRY FEE’S! Must be said unfortunately. We are expecting a very busy prerelease weekend. To run things smoothly for everyone, please do not pay your entry fee by crediting cards when coming in. Do not hold the line to any prerelease for any reason. Sleeves, drinks and sodas should be first chosen and then join the line. If you want to credit in cards, please arrive early to the event or credit them to us at the latest the day before. Cards pulled from the new set can be credited in throughout the day, as can other MTG cards, just not at the busiest moment before the event starts. Credits can be used to pay for events and/or to buy products, but they are not yet available on our online store.

PRODUCTS, PREORDERING & ALLOCATIONS

Usually it’s a hit set and product runs out, people are left wondering why they can’t get products they presumed are just waiting for them on the shelves. First reprint waves seem to come in a few years, not weeks or months anymore like in the good ‘ol days. Welcome to the new age of “it doesn’t matter if you can afford it, you also have to plan for it in advance”! Please help us to help you and preorder all products well in advance on our website. This way you’ve just increased your chances of actually receiving product since most players order too late. UW & Tolkien sets are allocated heavily by WotC and thus our distributors have less to sell, ie. we get way less than we ordered. So it’s first come first served!

We host 12+ TCGs at an official capacity and have to order all products blindly from distributors months before spoilers, so we have to plan our budget very carefully and can not take the risk on behalf of hundreds of players. Players can (and should!) help their LGS’s with this burden by ordering on time. For the community in general, it is highly beneficial to support an LGS that actually prioritizes social events, Organized Play in general and fair trade. More players usually means more products to sell at a reasonable price.

We are allowed to sell almost every kind of product specific to this set during an MTG prerelease, including single boosters and single cards, excluding “Gift Bundles” or equivalent products (usually different release date).

Can not find the item your looking for? If a product is not available on our online store, be sure to send us your preorders via email please (info@ohmygame.fi). Thank you for your support! <3

WHAT IS A PRERELEASE?

Prereleases are hyper-casual and an awesome gateway format for those willing to delve into the beautiful game of Magic. It’s also a fantastic way of getting to know the wonderful gaming community of OMG. We are very inclusive and players help each other a lot during prereleases. There’s a designated Land Station of free basic lands for your decks. Deck building time is approx. 50min, after which we give out pairings shown on our screens and on your Companion App. Amount of rounds is max. 3 no matter the amount of players & the round time is 50 minutes. Estimated event time is 4 hours.

**You will get less deckbuilding time if you arrive late and minimum time needed for that is ~30min! Others made it on time, so can you!**

WHAT IS A TWO-HEADED GIANT (2HG) PRERELEASE?

A 2HG Sealed event is a fun team-based way to play Magic: The Gathering! Instead of playing one-on-one, you team up with a friend and play 2 vs. 2. Each team shares a life total, and you take your turns at the same time as your teammate.

How it works:

1️⃣ You build together
– At the start of the event, each team receives a pool of booster packs (usually 12 total).
– You and your teammate open all the packs and build two 40-card decks from the combined card pool.

2️⃣ You play together
– You and your teammate share a 30 life total.
– You take your turns simultaneously.
– You can talk strategy and help each other make decisions.
– You win when the opposing team’s shared life total reaches 0.

3️⃣ It’s beginner-friendly and social
– Two-Headed Giant is great for:
– Friends who want to play together
– Newer players who’d like support from a teammate
– Experienced players who enjoy collaborative strategy

It’s one of the most fun and interactive ways to experience Magic!
