Wizards of the Coast
Magic: The Gathering's upcoming set Guilds of Ravnica continues its exciting spoiler season this week as Wizards of the Coast has just revealed the promos, packaging, Store Championship playmat, Mythic Planeswalkers, and more.
First off, check out the buy-a-box promo. This was revealed last week but at least now we get an official look and the full English version. It's called Impervious Greatwurm and it has Selesnya's signature mechanic Convoke. It's not as powerful as Core Set 2019's buy-a-box promo Nexus of Fate but that's probably a good thing for players who complained about Nexus's limited availability. Just like the recent Magic sets, you can pick up a Guilds of Ravnica booster box on the prerelease weekend from your local game store.
Next up are event promos. Of course, there are non-promo versions of these cards that you can get in a booster pack but these versions have special artwork.
Here's for the Open House event on September 22-23. The event aims to introduce Magic to new players and incentivize people to invite them.
Draft Weekend (October 6-7). This is the same weekend when Guilds of Ravnica becomes available to the public. You will get this unique Izzet card called Firemind's Research.
Magic League starts on October 8. The format will be Sealed, and you would need to complete ten matches to get this promo Necrotic Wound.
Friday Night Magic events for Guilds of Ravnica promos run from October 5 to January 18 so you can get one of these promos for participating or winning an FNM in your local game store.

Store Championships will take place on September 10-16. They're technically Core Set 2019 Store Championships but these days their championship playmats and promos feature the artworks and cards of the next set. Check out Emmara, Soul of the Accord and the awesome Championship Playmat that features the iconic Magic symbol set in Ravnica (as seen in the official Guilds of Ravnica trailer).

Ravnica Weekend will be on November 9-11. Local stores will invite players to participate in casual Guild Kit battles, 4-pack Drafts, and a special preview adventure for Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, the upcoming Magic/Dungeons & Dragons crossover book. You can get one of these guild-affiliated foil basic lands for participating:

They also revealed the Mythic Planeswalkers but you've probably already seen them at this point. If you haven't, you can check them out here. They will only be available in the Hasbro Toy Shop and the product will be a Draft-sized (24-pack) booster box of Guilds of Ravnica but unlike a regular booster box, it will have eight packs that will be clearly marked. They will each come with one of the Mythic Planeswalker cards inside the pack and a normal rare or mythic rare card. This is meant to give you a unique draft experience.
