ALT Handling God Packs at Your Events Opening a God Pack can create an unforgettable moment for players and collectors, but it also presents a special circumstance during a Limited format event. If a player opens a God Pack, they should stop and call for a judge or tournament organizer. Checking in immediately helps prevent confusion, regardless of how you decide to proceed. You have discretion over whether the God Pack remains in the event. For any event intended to feel competitive, however, we strongly recommend the following: Celebrate the moment! Call attention to the rare find and share the excitement with your community. Remove the God Pack from the event. Let the player who opened it keep it for their collection. Replace it at no charge. Give the player an unopened Booster Pack from the same set so they can continue playing.

ALT Removing and replacing the God Pack preserves a fair play experience while giving the player a memorable collectible. This approach also matches how God Packs are handled at competitive events where Wizards of the Coast provides the product, such as Regional Championships and the Pro Tour. At those events, God Packs must be removed and replaced. For casual events, you may choose to leave the God Pack in the draft or sealed pool. This could work well at a Prerelease that uses Player List Only pairings, for example. In most cases, though, we recommend removing and replacing the God Pack.
