Let’s Get Back Together!

Your local WPN store is the place to play. WPN locations can run one Showdown Qualifier each round or two if they are Premium. Each WPN Showdown Qualifier has different promo cards for:

– The first 32 players to preregister
– Top 8 players
– An exclusive promo plus a DreamHack badge for the winner!

Your WPN store decides when to run the Showdown Qualifier and the event format (Sealed Deck with Top 8 draft, Standard, Modern, or Pioneer). So let your store know what YOU want to play!
