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.
