Magic: Innistrad Midnight Hunt Prerelease

What is a Prerelease?

Your very first chance to play with the cards from a brand-new set. A week before the set is released, you can head to Kingston Nexus to crack open some packs, build a deck, and try out all the exciting new cards and mechanics in a friendly, informal tournament.

Prereleases are some of the most fun, Magic events around. Gather at Kingston Nexus with a bunch of other Magic players who love the game as much as you do, and make new friends as you all dive into the uncharted waters of the new set together!

COVID-19

To be as safe as possible during these unprecedented times, all participants are asked to adhere to the following rules:

1. All players wishing to use the play area must abide by all public health orders at all times while inside Kingston Nexus.
2. New! All players wishing to use the play area must provide proof of vaccination upon arrival.
3. All players must wear a face covering.
4. All players must sanitize their hands upon entrance to the play area. We also recommend sanitizing your hands frequently while inside our play area. Hand sanitizer and paper towels will be provided.
5. All players must attempt to practice physical distancing to the extent that it is possible while in the play area. We recommend always staying on the opposite side of the table from your opponent.
6. All players wishing to use the play area must register and provide their full name, email address, and phone number. This is done at the request of KFL&A Public Health to assist with contract tracing related to COVID-19.
Capacity is limited so that we can all play our favourite games as safely as possible.
7. All tables must be reserved in advance; drop-ins are not permitted. There is no cost to reserve a table, but we ask that you limit yourself to 1 table per week, so that others may also enjoy the space.
8. Players will be assigned a table and a time slot. Please do not enter the play area before your time slot, or approach any table other than the one you are assigned to.
9. When you are finished with your game(s), please leave the play area as quickly as possible. You may certainly socialize with the other players, but we encourage you to do it outside.
10. No food is permitted in the play area. If you get hungry, please leave Nexus and eat outside.
11. No spectators are permitted. Note that you are also considered a spectator if you have a table reserved and your game ends early and you hang around to see how the next table over is doing.
12. No shared game pieces are permitted. Similarly, while in the play area, you may only touch any game pieces (i.e. dice, cards, figurines) that belong to you. If you are playing a game that might normally involve you touching another player's pieces, we suggest that you simply instruct them to perform the action on your behalf. Please bring your own dice, cards, measuring tapes, and whatever else you might need for the game you are intending to play. We will not be lending out dice or measuring tapes, and we ask that you do not borrow your opponent's.
