What Clan for [FRF] Pre-Release?
Limited forum
Posted on Jan. 10, 2015, 6:31 p.m. by DeathriteShaman97
Since all Cards have been spoiled I was thinking about what Clan I should choose for the upcoming Pre-Release. Personally I like to play Green or Red at Pre-Releases because most of the times you win with your creatures. So I am planning to play Temur because you can play aggro, big creatures and control. Please tell me what you will play and why. Thanks ; )
I was thinking Temur myself for the aggro/big creature type of play.
If I was just looking to take valuable cards home, though, I would choose jeskai since Mentor and Grandmaster seem to both be the chase cards of the set (and Ugin).

I'm going Sultai, as I really want certain Sultai cards for my Sidisi EDH. Also I think they're very strong in Limited, due to Delve providing great efficiency. Graveyard centered plays aren't common in Limited anyway, so you could just Delve away the entire 'yard without caring.
I'm not a great player though.

I am probably going with mardu. I really like the new dash ability!

The first new Standard deck I'm going to build is Temur, so I'll probably go with that hoping to get some cards I need.
Sultai also has some pretty sweet stuff I want to play with, but I'll more than likely just buy them all as singles.

I'm torn, honestly. I'm big on morph so manifest seems awesome, but the manifest heavy color is white, which falls outside Temur territory. Jeskai, Sultai, and Abzan, all have promising pre-release possibilities. Aside from ruling out Mardu, I haven't made up my mind yet, but leaning Temur and Abzan

I'll likely pick Mardu myself, it's partly because I want to play with dash but also because I'm playing both Mono-Red Aggro and Orzhov Warriors in standard and I really want to maximize my chances of getting the cards I need for those decks like Outpost Siege, Flamewake Phoenix, Mardu Strike Leader, and, of course, Brutal Hordechief
I've half-considered Sultai because I love playing with delve cards but aggressive builds are my one true love.

Abzan is my clan. It still has the chance to open some chase white or black cards, as well as the Warden of the First Tree. Also, Dromoka is probably one of the best limited cards I've seen from this set, so that's a big advantage. Bolster is just very good in general. Also, Abzan has access to 2 of 3 delve colors. Overall, I think Abzan is one of the better clans. Plus, I have an Abzan deck in standard (I'll bet you've seen it)

The Abzan win with me for a couple reasons. First, white is the best color in the set because of manifest. Also, Abzan colors have bolster. They also can play two of the mythics and two of the rares. And if that wasn't enough, they seem to have the best sieges and synergy

Jeskai is best colour combo. That's all I need to know.

Jeskai will be my first pre-release (so much goodness). After that, I might go Mardu or Abzan, or stay Jeskai, depending on the feels.

Jeskai, they are my favorite, because they do well with instants, sorceries, and creature. Very flexible.
