Wizards & Wonders: Strixhaven Booster Draft Recap

Friday Night Magic

After a whirlwind week of packed-out Prerelease events, things took a more intimate turn this past Friday at 5:00 PM. While the hall was a little quieter than the “standing room only” vibes of earlier in the week, the competition for the Secrets of Strixhaven Booster Draft was no less fierce.

Drafting is the ultimate test of a mage’s intuition, and with two full-capacity Prereleases already under our belts, the meta for the new set is starting to take shape.

Friday Draft Results

Our Top 2 finishers didn’t just earn bragging rights—they walked away with a haul of Promo Packs, Foil Promo Packs, and Play Boosters. A huge congratulations to Glen Poulsen, who navigated the pod with a perfect 3-0 record to take the top spot!

Recapping Our Biggest Prerelease Ever: Secrets of Strixhaven!

Secrets of Strixhaven Prerelease

The doors to the academy officially opened this past Friday, April 17, and the turnout was nothing short of legendary. We saw a record-breaking 48 participants pack the store, with every seat filled and a high energy that lasted through 7+ hours of Magic.

It was incredible to see everyone locked in and ready to represent their chosen colleges. Unfortunately, demand was so high that we had to turn people away due to table space—a clear sign that the local Magic community is growing faster and stronger than ever!

Each student selected their specific college prerelease kit, diving into the arcane secrets of the set across 6 intense Swiss rounds.

  • The Loot: Players opened 5 Play Boosters plus a college-aligned seeded booster featuring a Rare or Mythic Rare from their specific school.
  • The Rewards: Every participant walked away with an additional participation booster, while our Top 12 finishers earned extra prize packs for their mastery of the craft.

Thank you to everyone who made this the most successful Prerelease in our history. Whether you were representing Silverquill, Lorehold, Prismari, Witherbloom, or Quandrix—you all made the weekend incredible!

Looking Ahead: The Road to 64

With the Hobbit Prerelease looming in August, we are already looking at ways to increase our capacity without decreasing the quality, comfort, or space for our guests. After hitting 48 players, our next goal is a staggering 64 participants for a single event. We want to make sure as many of you as possible can get in on the action, so watch this space!
