Event deck

An event deck is a type of Magic: The Gathering product that was sold as part of expert-level expansions starting with Mirrodin Besieged. From time to time giving up some of them, this product was officially discontinued after Battle for Zendikar.

Description

Unlike preconstructed theme decks and intro packs, which are constructed by Wizards of the Coast for newer players to Magic, event decks are built with more tournament-play competitive players in mind, and each event deck features seven to ten rares and as many as four copies of powerful common and uncommon cards.

Event decks are Standard legal as of their release and may be played fresh from their box, which contains a strategy insert with tips as to deck customization. The Modern Event Deck that was released in May 2014, is not set-specific and is for Modern rather than for Standard.
