The build I ended up with at the Pre-release. My record was 4-3 (with one win being a bye). Had a lot of fun using it though. It was my first ever pre-release, and only my second event to attend, so I'm pretty sure a few of my loses could be attributed to the numerous mistakes I made, and the fact that I didn't pull anything all that extraordinary. But like I said; I still had a blast.

Any tips on what I could have done better would be awesome.

Some of the most useful cards turned out to be Hands of Binding, Verdant Haven, Skarrg Goliath, Ivy Lane Denizen, Spire Tracer, and Madcap Skills.
