Here's what you need to know if you want to play with Phyrexia: All Will Be One cards early.

Phyrexia: All Will Be One is the penultimate chapter of the New Phyrexia storyline, which has the villainous bio-mechanical society of New Phyrexia orchestrate a plan to invade the Magic multiverse and spread their dominion across countless planes.

If you want to get a sneak peek of Phyrexia: All Will Be One before packs hit store shelves, the best way to do so is by attending a pre-release event. These events use the game's Sealed format, which gives players six booster packs and tasks them with crafting a 40+ card deck to play in a mini-tournament format. In-store pre-release events are set to happen Feb. 3-9. The set launches on Arena on Feb. 7, where a digital Sealed event will also be available.

Sealed is a popular format as it's a good, casual introduction to the set and gives some indication of the power of cards in other formats. Attending a pre-release event also gives a code that can be redeemed on Arena for six digital packs.
