How Do You Pre-Order Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Where Can You Find the Prerelease Pack?

If you’re looking for the easiest, most convenient way to pre-order Magic: The Gathering Tarkir: Dragonstorm products, Amazon probably has you covered. As of this writing, everything is still available, so you shouldn’t have an issue finding what you want from this set. However, I do recommend going out and supporting your local game store.

Speaking of supporting your local game store, any Magic: The Gathering prerelease packs are only available at WPN member stores. This includes the five from this Tarkir: Dragonstorm set. While these cannot be preordered, select stores are holding pre-release events between April 4th and 10th, giving a head start to those who are excited for the upcoming set. If you’re unsure if your local store is a WPN member store and hosting a prerelease event, check out the link here, search for your area, and call them to find out.
