Tips for a first-time prerelease

Limited forum

Posted on Jan. 14, 2016, 3:37 p.m. by AgentGreen

Ok, I shouldn't say my first pre-release, but the last one I did was way back in Saviors of Kamigawa; so over 10 years.

So any tips on what to expect and what kind of mindset I should have going into the pre-release this weekend

Well seeing as this is the first-ever 2HG centric pre-release, it might as well be your first ever pre-release, because for the way that they're doing it, it will be your first. Because they've never done it before. Get it?

I'll leave now.

Big fatties, blue/white flyers, blue/red devoid, blue/black devoid are the key decks for this format, here is a great video from MTGHQ on what to expect for Oath of the Gatewatch's pre-release weekend.

But... it was vodka. How did it become whiskey? This is super confusing.

It may have been vodka but after your 5th shot it may have gone to whiskey

Only five? I'm off my game. :P

Getting back on topic though, I'm probably going to aim for U/R aggro. Stormchaser Mage, that new unblockable spell, some cheap Eldrazi.

Remember to eat BREAD and organize your pool properly.

I would suggest reading the primer WotC put out. You can find it on Dailymtg.com

There's also this: http://blogs.magicjudges.org/2hg/oath-of-the-gatewatch-2hg-hidden-gems/

Sorry about my formatting, I know it's atrocious.
