Pokemon: Obsidian Flame Prerelease

Obsidian Flames Prerelease

Red-hot embers illuminate the pitch-black night and sparks flare into an inferno as Charizard ex surges forth with newfound powers of darkness! The glittering Terastal phenomenon imbues some Pokémon ex like Tyranitar, Eiscue, and Vespiquen with different types than usual, while Dragonite ex and Greedent ex show mastery of their own inner strengths. Not to be outdone, Revavroom ex, Melmetal ex, and more Pokémon promise to change the course of battle in the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames expansion!

Format: 

Prereleases are a fun way to be able to play with a new set that hasn’t been released yet. The tournament will be played using the packs in your prerelease kit. Each player will have about 30 minutes to construct a 40-card deck with the contents of their kit and energy provided by the shop. No trading is to be done until the event is over. We will use single-game matches for 3 rounds, using Age-Modified Swiss Pairings. Each round is 20 minutes long. Players are expected to be on time and to play the entire event. Players must already know how to play properly, this is not a learn-to-play event.

Each Build & Battle prerelease kit includes:

• Four Pokémon TCG Obsidian Flames booster packs.
• One of four possible new Promo cards with the Obsidian Flames logo stamped on them.
• A selection of cards to help competitive players build a deck

Event Policies: We only have kits for 20 players, so please register in advance below!

Players must have a Pokémon Player ID to participate. If you do not already have a Player ID, please arrive early to register your Pokémon Trainer Club account and receive a Player ID. If you registered for a Player ID at the Pokémon Club at the Rockbridge Regional Library in Lexington, it is likely we have your Pokémon ID on file.

Prize Support: Each participant will receive 2 Prize Packs for Playing in all 3 Rounds. The remaining Prize Packs will be pooled together and awarded based on ranking. Players who are members of the Library Pokémon Club will also receive an achievement sticker.
