Nexus Night: weekly play, weekly promos
Nexus Night is the weekly event at your local store. Every player gets one Nexus Night Promo Pack per event, while supplies last.
Each store receives a limited allocation of promo packs for the whole Radiance season, shipped all at once, and stores are not expected to get more kits mid-season. Stores spread those packs across the weeks, so showing up regularly is the best way to collect.
The chase: Lulu, Whimsical alt art
The headline card in the Nexus Night pool is an alternate-art Lulu, Whimsical.
Six alt-art Runes
The pool also includes alternate-art versions of all six Runes: Fury, Calm, Mind, Body, Chaos and Order.
The rest of the pool
The official list rounds out the pool with Radiance cards including Banner of Conquest, War Scout, Shimmering Swimmer, Firebrand Raider, Iridescent Avian, Life from Stone, Watchful Curator, Hush, High Note, Trinket Peddler, Clanging Sentry, Spirit of the Forge, Hold'Em, Sneaky Zeebles, Stalwart Shepherd, Portable Portal, Explosimian, Satchel Charge, Reckless Innovator, Bedeviling Stranger, Hunting Dog, Party Crasher, Rousing Display and Battlefield Armorer. Some community sites list one of these under a different name, so treat the official overview as the reference.
