How long is a MTG prerelease?
MTG prereleases usually span over a weekend, starting from Friday at midnight and wrapping up on Sunday. However, the length of each event can vary depending on the store hosting it. You're generally looking at 4 to 5 hours per event to give everyone enough time to build their decks and play through the rounds. Ideal for a deep dive into the new set without a full-day commitment!

4 hours max. Anything more is just dragging it.
Depends on the shop, but my local game store usually runs each prerelease event for about 5 hours. It gives us plenty of time to crack open our packs, build a decent deck, and play through the matches. Super fun and not too draining!
Prereleases are a weekend-long magic extravaganza! But if you're talking about a single event, it's usually around 4-5 hours. That includes deck building and playing rounds. It's the perfect way to spend half your day!
