To celebrate Magic: The Gathering's 30th anniversary, Wizards of the Coast released 30 promos across eight Magic Prereleases, one for each year of Magic's history.[1]

The 30th Anniversary promos were released in chronological order. Seven of these were exclusively printed in a language other than English to further celebrate Magic fans across the globe. LGS's could reward these promos to players that participated in a Prerelease however they saw fit.[2][3]
