There is a code input section in Duels 12 for Promotion Unlocks (in the player stats) which adds extra cards to the game. This will be utilised at the Magic Celebration like the avatar pictures codes from previous years.
The picture suggests that you get multiple cards and it is all colours, but I think they just had the art already from the Planeswalkers cards fan you see when you beat Jace.
This was a ton of fun last year, and I am so happy to hear they are doing it again! I think this is one of the nicest things Wizards does for its customers.
Awesome news!!!

Awesomeness! I had a ton of fun (and got a lot of pretty good cards for free) playing Mini Master last year, so I'm definitely looking forward to doing it again
No, Magic Celebration is a free "tournament" they hold once a year just to say "thanks." You show up, they tell you the rules, and you play.
Usually it's a format where everyone gets one booster, opens it, adds basic lands to the cards in the pack to make a small "deck." You play a match with someone, and the person who wins usually gets another booster to tweak their deck. It's pretty fun!

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I had no idea that they had done that.
Sweet brags:
I got:
PDS: Slivers
PDS: Fire and Lightning
SoA foil booster
Unhinged Island
PDS: Slivers Ancient Ziggurat
As far as I can tell, that's everything. Awesome!
P.S. I started playing MTGO in Summer '09 during the waning days of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block.
Eh, my LGS refused to do this event. Said if I wanted to do pack wars, I can go buy some booster packs. <_<

Uhh what?
Stores that sign up for this event are sent product to use FOR THE EVENT by WoTC. It doesn't cost the store anything, and it only helps them get people to come to their store.
So if they signed up, and aren't doing the event, report them to the DCI.
Also, PhantomLotus, people who signed up In 2005 or earlier also got PDS: Graveborn.

Sounds like you need to find a new LGS, if you can. What a junky thing to do to it's customers for little to no gain. Next time they say that, just mention that you'll plan on doing so, just by buying them from a competitor, online or local.
Seems like a pretty sweet opportunity to just play some Magic, for free. Just another thing WotC is doing right.

I don't know why any store wouldn't participate. They get the packs for free. It draws potential customers - new and old. I just can't understand some people, unless he was hoarding the packs for himself or something. Then he needs reported.
My local shop owner was going to charge for the event, but the judge told him he couldn't. To be fair, the owner was going to throw in some prizes for the entry fees. But that's not the point.
This is like Free Comic Book Day for Magic packs. The packs are free for us players and act as advertising for WotC and the local shops.
I never really liked the way this was set up so the winners got a lot more free packs. Last year my first pack had a crappy rare and two of my uncommons were Kraken's Eye and Angel's Feather with no removal in my common slots. My opponent played a Cudgel Troll and I scooped... I love the idea of getting free packs and encouraging play at the LGS but having someone loose 3 rounds in a row with a single pack really does get disheartening.

Sign into MTGO. If you already have an account, you should've gotten something. Check your collection.
Yup, it's based on how long you've had your account open. I registered back around Kamigawa and got a ton of freebies.
Now I have "sold" most of it MTGO Tix and no idea what to do with them.
No, Magic Celebration is a free "tournament" they hold once a year just to say "thanks." You show up, they tell you the rules, and you play.

so when's the last time a magic celebration occur?

Check your local shop. Some might not even be participating.
First one was last year and seemed to go well, expect this ears to be bigger and any store that stocks a decent amount of MTG to participate.
