Of Course.....

Yep, both days my mate is paying me to go on the second day and play for him and then give him the cards that I get. But he didn't specify prizes

 

[Mooseman]

Hey, you gotta get something for your time.....

 

[Rakarth]

[Spiderman]

So how was it for those who went? What was your impressions?

 

[Rakarth]

Damn you and your earlyness I don't go till the 27-28th, this weekend coming

So how was it? What can I expect ?

[Spiderman]

Actually, I might have jumped the gun... I'm used to two weeks of previews, so I thought the prerelease was last weekend... but apparently there's three, so the prerelease is this weekend for everyone...

 

[Spiderman]

Okay, *now* lets hear some stories

 

[Killer Joe]

Hey Moosie: How did Pgh. go?

 

[Mooseman]

Down in attendance.

 

[Rakarth]

27th from 29 not a good day although I had a stinking cold all day so I blame that

It's a good block from what I can see, it feels balanced so far, better than the last four. Limited is interesting given that it's three colours and you kind of have to go with what ever mana excel you can get. The CIP tapped lands, Obelisks (artifacts) that produce three colours of mana and come into play for 3 are all useful and kind of puch in into certain colours and you make a deck based on what fuel you've got

Fun though

For those of you who went to a pre-release event, how was it?
Did the changes affect you? What do you think of them?
