The nextMagic: The Gatheringset release,Theros: Beyond Death, is right around the corner. Although the official street date isn’t until January 24, players around the world are already diving into pre-release events to take the new cards for a spin.
Most in-person pre-release events will take place today or over the weekend, but digital players can get some extra practice in onMagic Arena, as well. Although jumping into one of the Limited pre-release events will cost some resources, there is a way forArenaplayers to pick up a few new packs for free.
As has become tradition, Wizards of the Coast activated a new promo card to help encourage players to login and try out the new set. If users are lucky, maybe they’ll end up with a few ofthe most expensive cards in Theros: Beyond Death(though digital cards aren’t able to be traded or sold). This one-time use promo is similar to the ones that have come before it and unlocks three Theros: Beyond Death boosters for players. To unlock the three packs, players need to enter the following promo card: PlayTheros
If players have been unaware of these promos, then there may be a small mountain of free boosters in their near future. Many limited time codes have expired, but there are a handful that are still available:
PlayAllegiance
PlayRavnica
Keep in mind that the Redeem Code Failure error likely means something is misspelled or case sensitive. If the code doesn’t work and doesn’t show that error, then the player likely has already claimed it in the past or unlocked the cards/styles some other way (like through the intro scenario).
The free boosters are a great way to celebratethe release of a new set, so it’s exciting to see WotC sticking with this new tradition.
