If you can't wait to get your hands on Dominaria, we have some good news for you: You can get a booster box of the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set a week before its official release day. Today, Wizards of the Coast has announced that you can pre-order a booster box of Dominaria from your local game store, and you can pick it up on Prerelease weekend (April 21-22). However, the promotion is only valid through Prerelease weekend, so the next time you'll be able to get a preordered box is on April 27, the set's official release day.

Wizards also revealed the Buy-a-Box promo: Firesong and Sunspeaker.

You won't find this card in booster packs or Bundles, and you can only get this by purchasing a box of Dominaria (while supplies last).

This is a nice card for Casual and Commander players, but according to Wizards, they're excited about its implications for Brawl (a new Magic format described to be a "Commander variant that uses only Standard-legal cards" but Wizards will reveal more details about it tomorrow so stay tuned. That sounds super fun. I was actually thinking about the possibility of that kind of format just a few days ago to make use of other cards not playable in competitive Standard.
