1. Can anyone attend the pre-release?

Yes, the M2010 pre-release is open to all Magic players.

2. Is there an age limit to attend the tournament? 

No, there is no age limit to play in the M2010 pre-release. We have players as young as 6 and as old as 70 play in our Magic events.

3. Do I have to bring anything to the tournament?

The M2010 pre-release is a sealed deck event. This means that your entry fee includes all of the cards you will play with during the event. You do not have to bring any cards, unless you want to trade.

It is recommended you bring a pen to the event.

NOTE: Keep an eye on your personal belongings at all times during the show. You don't want someone else to take your cards.

4. What time do I have to be there?

Please check the website for your particular city. Different cities have different starting times.

5. What is a DCI card and how do I get one?

The DCI is the rating system that Wizards of the Coast (maker of Magic cards) uses to track how well you do in tournaments. If you have never played in a DCI event, you can sign up for free at the M2010 pre-release. If you have a DCI number, but forgot it, we can look it up for you at the event.

6. What is a foil card?

A foil card is a special Magic card that is only given to players at pre-releases. All players who play in the main event sealed deck event will receive one (1) foil card. All players who play in either the 2HG event or side event sealed deck will also receive one (1) foil card if they have not received one already. Players are not allowed to use the foil during any event. Foil cards are available while supplies last.

7. Is there going to be a team tournament?

Yes, there will be team events at each location. Please check your location for the type of team events available.

8. What if I don't have a team, but still want to play in the team tournament?

If you don't have a full team, we will pair you up with other players who are looking to play in the team event. We usually don't have a problem finding other players who want to play.

9. What time does the pre-release end?

It depends on how many tournaments you play in during the event. If you want to play in only 1 event, you can be done by 1pm. We will be running tournaments all day long until 8pm. 

 


Dealers will be on site to buy and sell cards.

Players are strongly encouraged to bring a pen, paper, and counters.

All players are allowed to trade cards at any Gray Matter event. However, anyone attending the event who buys cards from or sells cards to other players will be asked to leave the event immediately.
