The Unofficial Ravnica Allegiance Prerelease Game

Ryan Normandin is back! Will you attend the Prerelease dressed as an evil clown? Hide Fblthp stickers everywhere? The possibilities are as endless as Simic creature combinations!

RNA Prerelease Achivements Game

Have you ever wanted to unleash your inner anarchist and smash up a city with the Gruul? Collect your debts in blood like the Orzhov? Establish an authoritarian, Thopter-surveillance state run by the most powerful planeswalker ever to see print in Standard like the Azorius? This Prerelease season, throw on some Lizard Wizard Crab arms and join the carnival! The five guilds in Ravnica Allegiance are accepting new members, and you can join—if you can earn enough points. You’ll need 100 points total, 20 of which must be guild-specific. Compete against your friends and see how many achievements you can complete this weekend!
