Preparing for the Radiance Pre-Rift

TL;DR
Radiance Pre-Rift events start at local game stores on Friday, October 16 and run through the week. They are casual Sealed events: you open a kit, build a deck of at least 25 cards from it, and play right away. The guide covers the kit, the Sealed deckbuilding rules and tips for the nine new legends.
Key points
- Pre-Rifts run October 16–22; check your store's schedule or the event locator to register
- Each kit has five Radiance boosters, a champion pack built around one of the nine new legends, and a Heimerdinger promo that can't go in your Sealed deck
- Sealed rules: at least 25 cards, up to three domains, and no copy limit on cards you open
- Suggested build: around 15 units, about five of them costing 2 Energy
- New keywords to try out: Disarm, Deploy and Show Off
