How does a 2-Headed Giant Prerelease work?

These events are hosted at Gnome Games and let you play with a new set a week ahead of its release!

Play, plan, and battle as a team. In Two-Headed Giant, the life total is shared and starts at 30 life. In Two-Headed Giant, each two-player teams shares a starting 30 life and takes their turn simultaneously. The team does not share any other resources other than life. For instance, any reference to “you” on a card still applies to the individual holder.

Effects that read “each opponent” or “each player”, however, affect each team member separately. Players can block any creature(s) that are attacking them, their teammates or Planeswalkers their team controls.

Class begins with a lesson in deckbuilding, where students will construct their decks using materials from their chosen college. From there, you’ll participate in three “group projects” (rounds), each consisting of a best-of-three match against fellow students.

This course emphasizes learning, exploration, and enjoying the newest set at your own pace—no prior experience required.

Strixhaven Prerelease 201

Welcome back, students! In this intermediate-level course, you’ll put your knowledge to the test and represent your college with pride. Building on the fundamentals introduced in 101, this class leans into a more competitive environment while still keeping the experience fun and engaging.

Class begins with deckbuilding, where you’ll craft your strategy using your college’s materials. From there, students will be paired into groups to compete in three structured rounds of play. Each round is a best-of-three match, challenging you to adapt, strategize, and outplay your opponents.

This is the standard Prerelease experience—perfect for students ready to sharpen their skills, embrace a little rivalry, and prove their mastery of Strixhaven’s curriculum.

Begin your evening with deckbuilding as you dive deep into your college’s materials, then compete in three rounds of play, each consisting of best-of-three matches. Whether you’re here to test your skills or simply enjoy the experience, this event is all about bringing players together.

Students in attendance will also enjoy special Strixhaven-themed snacks and have the opportunity to collect unique memorabilia to commemorate the occasion.

Strixhaven Two-Headed Giant Prerelease 401

Collaboration is key in this advanced-level course! In this Partner Project, students will team up in pairs to take on other duos in a cooperative, strategy-focused experience.

Each team will receive two Prerelease kits to build from, combining their knowledge and resources to create powerful decks. This event consists of three rounds of play, with each round being a best-of-one match—so every decision counts.

For each round your team wins, both partners will earn a booster pack prize.

This course is perfect for players of all experience levels. We highly encourage upperclassmen to partner with newer students to help guide them through the experience—but all team combinations are welcome.
