Around the world Magic players are beginning to crack Innistrad booster packs as they take part in midnight Innistrad Pre-Releases happening in their timezones around the world! This set has been generating buzz and discussion for a month as previews rolled out and have been examined, and now for the first time players will get to hold the new cards.

Wizards of the Coast held their employee pre-release last night with stories rolling in via twitter of the craziness and fun times had by all.

Planeswalker Points

Since this is the first prerelease since the introduction of Planeswalker points, it's worth noting that the Prereleases carry a 1x multiplier due to the casual nature of the event. So go out and have some fun!
