(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 We can't really say what color we are choosing to go with this time around, but nonetheless I felt I ought to make this thread for general prerelease discussion/reports/hopes/hype. Having done a sealed simulator of the set a few times, I am really liking this environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousHeartless Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm going to one tomorrow as a birthday present, so I'm hyped. I hope I can get good cards for Black/Green because it's my favorite color combo, and I love sacrifice decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Meh. I am not really excited, but it could be fun. I enjoy prereleases anyways despite the set.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm looking to try UG ramp, U and G have tons of strong commons and uncommons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Agree with Poc. Really hoping to be UG since those seem like really strong colors this set. Only doing one event since my LGS upped the price to $30 but it should be fun regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I won't play this time because I have to pay for my motorbike's annual documents, so the small free money I had this month I choose to spend on the Fatpack, because at least I'm guaranteed 89 full art lands value. However, for the first time, our LGS made a midnight pre release, and it seems like out of 22 players, they opened exactly 2 Expeditions Blood Crypts. Not bad!

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I pulled Steam Vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 So, my deck was insane. 2 Drana's Emissary, Serene Steward, Kalastria Healer, and Retreat to Emeria made up the core of the deck with some decent removal and creatures filling it out. Also a Shambling Vent. Went 3-0 and over the 12 packs I opened I got 4 different Tango lands. Other note worth rares I got were Brutal Expulsion, Beastcaller Savant, and Ruinous Path. The games were a ton of fun and I'm looking forward to playing with the set more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I didn't go, but four of my friends are there now. One came back early because his pool was terrible - got a promo Brutal Expulsion, though. The other three are still there, one of them being "friend" that gets all the luck in our group (clarify: nobody's a fan of him) and who opened a foil Undergrowth Champion. >_> As for myself, I'm putting my bets on the fat pack that I ordered. I do need another box to store my stuff in, anyways. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like the worst mythic creature though isnt it.... Its still a foil mythic and is going to be worth a decent amount out the gate. Whoever it is should sell it ASAP.

Rodrigo Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Today's pre release report: didn't play again, 17 people, Steam Vents and Sunken Hollow were the expeditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The format is interesting, My first deck was a U/R tempo deck that had some decent removal but the creatures had no late game reach. I switched over to a G/B midrangey deck and it worked really well. I ended up going 4-1 and got 3rd place. No expeditions were opened at my store though. The store a town over got like 5 blue expeditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miror B Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Pretty much 90% of the Pre release here pulled Omnath (including me)This was a 68 person tourney too. As for me I went 2/3, probably could've gone 3/2 if I wasn't my usual deckbuilding genius trying to make a 4 color deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Made Grixis Eldrazi. Peered over my pool near the end of deckbuilding time, and hastily slapped together a Naya aggro with the leftovers. During sideboarding in the first match, I took the time to refine the Naya deck and then switched decks entirely. It was fantastic, landing a push with a large swarm of double strikers. Pulled a fast one on many an opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ended up building BUG Scion Aggro. Casually swinging for 17 out of nowhere with Swarm Surge was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ended up building BUG Scion Aggro. Casually swinging for 17 out of nowhere with Swarm Surge was awesome. That card is scary. One of my opponents hit me for 19 with it and forced me to chump 2 other creatures. The best part was I attacked backed for 12 and gained 16 going back up to 22 and putting him to 2 thanks to the Awaken thing that gives Lifelink and hitting a land for Retreat to Emeria.

cr47t Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just got back from the prerelease yesterday, I got Gideon Ally of Zendikar from one of my packs, and made a white blue deck with gideon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the game I swung for 17 was against landfall aggro (legit felt like I was playing zendikar limited with that guy, he had the one drop, the bear, the grey ogre, and the trample guy) and he had me at two before I won.

Sixty Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 made a BOMBIN mardu ally deck. pulled two ally encampments, munda, angelic captain, and various rally dudes. stacking your deck every turn, as it turns out, is pretty fantastic.
