Get ready to explore Whispers from the Maze before its official June 6 release! Pre-release events, starting May 30, offer the very first opportunity to play with the set's new cards in a fun, community-focused environment. Join the celebration at your local game store and connect with other adventurers!

Reminder: only stores hosting pre-release events can sell Whispers from the Maze boosters, displays, and pre-release kits starting May 30, and only in store. All other stores can start selling on the official release date, June 6.

Pre-releases are open to all players, new and returning players alike, that would like to discover a new set in a friendly environment. Once you’re registered, your local game store takes care of everything and as such you do not need to bring anything!

The game format for pre-releases is Sealed Deck, meaning you will get to build your own deck as part of the event. Sealed Deck is a really fun way to discover a new set: all players get the same number of cards to build from and you’ll get to play with cards you might not usually try!

To learn more about it, check out our article on Altered’s Sealed Deck Format.

When attending a Whispers from the Maze pre-release event, your store provides you with a Pre-release Kit. This kit contains everything you need to build your deck of 30 cards and play your games. Here’s what you can find in a kit:

• 7 Whispers from the Maze booster packs
• 1 set of Whispers from the Maze premium adventure cards
• 1 illustrated card divider featuring illustrations from the 18 triptych arts
• 1 guide to help you build your pre-release deck

Remember that unlike constructed formats, you can play with up to 3 different factions so mix it up and don’t be afraid to try new things!

Pre-release events mark the start of Season 3 Whispers from the Maze Organized Play! Participating in these events, starting May 30, will contribute to your progress in the Season 3 Adventure Pass. Season 2 ends on May 29 at 11:59PM. Stores will have one week to finalize and validate any remaining events.

If you’re attending a pre-release event, remember to activate your pass on May 30 to start earning your rewards!
