Flame Dragon Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 So, this weekend is the prerelease so how did your event go? I went Black because I really wanted to open Lili and sadly only got her demon. Ended up with a ton of removal and with White filling in the skeleton provided by Black. Every round (only 3) I got to play someone I knew in the 20 man event. Best stories are how in the first round I Arrested my opponent's demon and had that do like 4 damage to them to finish them. The final round was an amazing mess with me and opponent mulligans totaling 6 over the 3 games. His 5, my 6, and his 6 + my 5. He might have won first game had he been more aggressive and second game I was a little too slow to stop him. 3rd was a hilarious with him keeping a 5 land + 2/1 first strike renown guy. Lucky for me I had the Assassin to pick it off but I was also on mono lands. We spent the rest of the game with our hands face up and I drew out of it first with the 4/6 vigilance + tap a guy and that sealed the deal for me. Ended up getting first and won a Funco Pop figure and 5 packs. Opened air and another friend who went 1-2 opened the Lili I so wanted. In my group of like 6 people 5 planeswalkers were opened, 4 in the event itself (all but Nissa with 2 going to one person) and another Lili in a pity pack which is pretty amazing.

Sixty Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Went black hoping for foil Lili too. Got the Lili. High fived everyone. Went B/G elves/sacrifice that worked decently well. Only time I got to actually flip Lili was went my opponent reanimated her from my graveyard and then killed his whole team in an alpha strike. He scooped as soon as I said she goes back to me. I went 2-2 before deciding to drop. There was still two rounds and top 8 left to go, and I still witnessed the sunrise on my drive home. I don't know why I'm so gung ho to go to midnight releases.

I am jelly. I think Lili is my favorite card from the set. Thats pretty amazing. Good old shame scoop. Why would they have a midnight event go that long? Thats insane. Like all my local stores max out at like 4 rounds for prerelease events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 We had a lot of money on the line as a lot of people showed up. First place was a whole box and prizes went down to top 16. So congratulations to all those stalwart few who ended up in the top 16 just because the other 30+ people dropped out and left to be able to get to bed at a reasonable time. And I was super happy to have the Lili because I wanted her for one of my EDH decks that I'm working on foiling out, so getting the foil one was gravy.

Like, I factor in when I'm playing and how long I'll be there when deciding if I should do an event and I know I would pass even though I'm pretty confident in my ability to do well. I want Lili for all of my EDH decks that run black. She just does everything I want in magic. And getting the foil you needed is super convenient.

Delibirb Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Was lucky enough to get all the best cards for UR Thopters which did reasonably well even in the games it lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
