I've kinda had it with prereleases..
Here, there are hardly any side events so if you don't crack open something good, you might as wel go home.
The prerelease card is pretty awesome though..

You don't *help* run the one in Pittsburgh,....you RUN the one in Pittsburgh!!!! 
I, on the other hand, help run the one in Pittsburgh though.

You know, I used to go to the ones in Pittsburgh (prior to moving back east) and I always thought they were run semi-poorly...Mooseman said:
... until I attended my first in Philadelphia. My goodness, these guys here are horrible at organization. It made me really appreciate how well it was run in Pittsburgh. I wish I was out there for the prereleases again!

Thanks.Rokapoke said:
I thought all MTG events were run the same (like PES does) until, 2 guys from NY came to a PTQ in Pittsburgh and informed us of how much better we were..... We ain't perfect, but we do try.

Ok, I went to it on Saturday, and had a blast! I was in the first flight of 64 players
I did not get too far, I won the first match, lost the next two. I ended up with a black and blue removal and counterspell deck. I pulled a foil psionic blast that won two of my games for me and the black counterspell, which won one of them. The deck was ok, but not nearly as strong as it could have been. By the end of the first flight, it appeared that black and green were going really strong, as well as quick red and white decks.
Things turned around for me during the two booster drafts that I played in.
The first, I pulled 2 Magus of the coffers (a 4/4 creature with a cabal coffers ability) and 2 Null Profusions (a really neat card that will work great in a necropotence deck!). My card draw was at a significant advantage. I took second place in this draft (woo hoo 4 packs for me!). I got beat by a very fast red and white deck that kept playing out Whitemane Lions to bounce his Aven Riftwatchers back before all the vanishing counters were gone. Since I was plaing a mono black deck, the flying was impossible to beat.
The second, I ended up with my own red and white flyer deck. It was fueled by prodigal pyromancer (red tim) and brute force (red giant growth). It dominated every person until the last. the first game I won handily. The second game I could only pull one plains, and it ended up being my undoing. in the Third game, we both had a good land mix, and it was up to our creatures and support spells to win the game. I was in a lot of trouble late into the game, with him playing a couple of treacherous urges to pull out my flyers and use them once before they were sac'ed. In the end, I was able to get out a Malach of the Dawn, and between it, the brute force, and my pyromancers, I ended up finally winning the game (however my life was down to about 3 I think). Woo hoo, another 8 packs.
After that I called it a day. I ended up getting all 5 of the Dragons (albiet the oros is only because I got the promo card). I did pull Crovax, Ascendant Hero out of one of my winning packs. He is pretty sweet, and I think will be a good staple for any type 2 deck I think of building.
So let's here about your pre-release experience too!

I entered 3 flights and did pretty bad. 1-2 in the first flights and dropping before the matches began for flight 3 (signed up just for cards). After a while, they ran out of Time Spiral Tournament packs (WOO-HOO) and gave us 6 PC boosters for the tourney. However, I was furious for my last flight when 3 of those 6 packs contained Teneb, the Harvester as my rare. I DON'T NEED THREE OF THE SAME LEGEND IN MY DECK!!!!!!!!!!
Not a single Extirpate or Damnation. I got a few Mirris, but I want to build my U/B Millstone deck now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!
Cool cards, though. Fun to play with.
