What Is A Preview Season?

A preview season (unofficially known as a "Spoiler 🐷Season") is the time before a Magic set has launched where information and cards from it are revealed.

Each preview season lastsꦡ around a week, and is marked by pre-recorded reveal stream. This stream s𝓡ets the tone for the preview season, and often features the main mechanics of the set and interviewers with the designers alongside a handful of new cards.

After that, Wizards of the Coast generally💞 hands the reins over to the co💞mmunity. Over the following week, various community members and press outlets will reveal almost every card in the set. Not only does it turn a new set into a heavily community-focused event, which is nice, it also means new cards are being revealed almost all day, every day during the season.

When Does Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty's Preview Season Begin?

As mentioned, preview seasons kick off with the main set ꧒reveal from Wizards of the Coast. This is a pre-recorded event that reveals more information about the set than we've ever had before, including key cards and new or returning mechanics.

The Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty reveal stream starts at 5PM GMT on Thursday, January 27, and is streamed through the official Twitch and Youtube channels. This time it's being hosted by Becca Scott and B. Dave Walters, who you may know better for his work on tabletop RPG content like Dimension 20, Into the Motherlands, and G4 TV's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Invitation to Party.

Though the reveal stream is the official start of the preview season, Wizards decided to do something different with Neon Dynasty and release online before the set had even been revealed. That me⛎ans we know the major names and faces, and a lot of the art, of the set already.

How Are Previews Organised Behind The Scenes?

Many players seem to think tha꧑t previews are some kind of paid sponsorship or endorsement by Wizards of the Coast, so it is worth talking about what happens before these cards are revealed.

A few weeks before the preview seasons start, Wizards of the Coast will reach 𒊎out to creators. Sometimes🔥 this is through a PR agency, while other times it might be direct. They will ask the creator if they want to preview a card and, once they've agreed to the embargo, an email with scans of it are sent over. Sometimes there might be more than one, depending on the outlet and the cards themselves.

As you're likely to hear a lot over the season from creators, these are free previews. Wizards of the Coast doesn't pay anybody to do them; with so ma🌃ny creators hoping to get a preview card for each set, why would they? They're a neat way to bring the community around individual creators for a short while, all while getting some hype going for the upcoming set.
