Sealed Tournaments

Sealed tournaments require you to bring either Event Passes or an unopened starter deck and unopened booster packs. Decks and packs are opened at the start of the tournament, then each player is given some time to use the Limited Deck Builder and construct a deck from that limited card pool. Players cannot access any other cards in their collections for this kind of tournament.

In most Sealed Tournament you will have 15 minutes to build your deck (in Release Events, you will have more time to browse the new cards). Decks in a Sealed Tournament must conform to the deck requirements of a Constructed tournament. Use your Deck Validator to make sure your deck is legal in the format you are playing. If you try to save a deck that is invalid, this Deck Validator will appear with Red X's indicating what's wrong with the deck you are trying to save. Click a Red X to learn more about how to fix your deck.

If you do not save a valid deck within the time limit, you will play the first round with the basic starter deck.

You may modify your deck between rounds in a Sealed Tournament. You can do this by clicking on the Deck Builder navigation tab (either from the main lobby or from the tournament lobby). Please note that you cannot return to the normal Deckbuilder until the tournament has concluded or you have dropped from the tournament.
