Release cards are cards given away for paying to play at release events.

Starting with Eighth Edition these cards were known as Launch Party promo cards. From Avacyn Restored onwards the name of "Launch Party" was phased out and the cards were then given away at the first Friday Night Magic after release day. Release cards are stamped or otherwise marked to identify them as the release card, are foil, and bear the card's expansion symbol or logo as a watermark. From Amonkhet onwards they were given away at the Draft Weekend, the weekend following release day.[1] From Core Set 2020 onward, the release card was replaced by a card from the WPN promo pack, distributed at the discretion of the stores.[2]
