That's what I was wondering.

Therefore, I put up a Straw Poll: http://strawpoll.me/3529559

Polls seem to be heading towards a 6 PM PST Prerelease.

Polls seem to be heading towards a 6 PM PST Prerelease, but it's tight. Want to have a secondary event at 3 PM?

There will be two events today, one prerelease at the normal time, one in about 15 minutes.

My 3-1 deck: http://i.imgur.com/LtT7Ael.png
Round 1 Game 1 opponent got screwed, had a proper game in game 2 and won.
Round 2 I don't remember. But it was close. I won.
Round 3 I kicked Adam's ass =P
Round 4 I got my ass kicked by Schmuckofalltrades

Even though I got destroyed by a Mardu deck, ABZAN FOREVER!

I went 2-2 in the Prerelease with this: http://i.imgur.com/BFNObD6.png

Curve was too high. If I got to late game in a decent position, I could usually take over, but it was really easy to get too far behind early.

I went 4-0! I'm still kind of surprised. :P Here's my deck: http://imgur.com/fCXyVVu

I wasn't that crazy about it, partly because I didn't get much bolster or outlast, but Dragonscale General was really helpful. It would've been amazing if I'd had more than two outlast creatures.

I also didn't make nearly as many misplays and misclicks as before, so I guess I'm getting a bit better even though I don't play very often. I definitely got lucky a few times too (like when I won with 30 seconds on the clock and probably only because my opponent didn't draw any more creatures).

So, uh, I had fun. I'll probably be back for the fandraft next week. :)

First time posting here. Here's my crazy 4-0 sealed deck: http://imgur.com/TETYQZo

As if there wasn't enough removal in that build, there was a Reach of Shadows that I completely missed when putting it together. It usually came in after game 2.

I was also exceedingly lucky, having to mulligan only once despite only running 17 lands.

OK so I went Mardu, opened Ugeen, Monastery Mentor, Foil Flamerush Rider, and a Alesha, Who Smiles at Lord_Hosk plus some other cards.

Round one I lost to a combination of Hoskling distraction, HORRIBLE hands, and a solid deck from my opponent.

Round two I lost to a combination of Hoskling distraction, HORRIBLE hands, and a solid play from my opponent.

Round three I couldnt have beaten my opponent they were too good no matter what they tell you.

Round four I was planning to scoop to my opponent but they scooped to me first before I had the opportunity.

I had 4 Mull to 4s and kept 2 sevens and 1 six.

I Sold my cards for 79 tickets though, so I was planning to scoop to everyone anyways but I was very distracted by Little Lady Hosk and frazzled.

I did 2 pre-releases. First one, I chose Abzan and went Abzan.
Second, I chose Mardu and ended up in Temur.
Both I went 1-3.

I had a good time, though, so that's good. :)

Omnicrat I could go for a triple FRF draft if it was around 4pm PST or later, but I don't think they're available until tomorrow? It looks like they're release queues, not prerelease.

And Hosk wow, I was happy just getting 10 tickets for my cards, 79 is pretty nice. Sorry you didn't have fun this time around, but at least it wasn't a waste of your money. :P Hopefully next time will be better!

Hmm that's really tempting but it's a big investment of time and tickets...I might just wait and do one or two release drafts instead.

I encountered what I THOUGHT was a error in codeing so I reported it.

Email sent to Wizards:

"I attacked with Flamerush Rider and Goblin Heelcutter.

Targeted the Heelcutter with the flamerush rider ability and one of my opponents creatures with the original heelcutter.

The token copy of Goblin heelcutter appeared and attacked, but I did not receive the trigger to target a creature to make it unable to block.

Its not a big deal I won the game and opened more than enough value cards for several more events, just wanted to let you know as its sort of a corner case."

Their reply was a very helpful explanation that "when this creature attacks" is a ability that only triggers on the attack step when the creature moves from "on the board to attacking in the red zone" the token didn't exist during that phase so that ability doesn't work. The card never "attacked" it appeared in a state of "attacking" which is after "attacks are declared." The wording is a little confusing.

"but I will reimburse you your tickets and clan token anyways have fun Im a super awesome guy who cares more about people understanding the game and having fun than about digital tickets." -bill (I am paraphrasing the last bit)

C'mon Sarah, think about how much fun it would be? We might even get other fans to do it with us. You know you want to prerelease again...

I think if we give them a couple hours at least. Tentatively lets say 4PM PST 7PM EST? or do you want to go 3PST/6EST?

The wording may be confusing Hosk, but that's a really common interaction that comes up a lot. For instance, if you attack with Durdle Turtle and it exiles itself and come back, you'll trigger raid on something the first turn, but the second turn, if it's the only thing that ends up attacking in that turn, you won't trigger raid.

It's tricky wording, but I'm not sure what else they can do.

"When Creature is declared an attacker" Rather than "When creature attacks"

because when it attacks would imply "when it attacks" I know its wordier but its more accurate.

Dammit you guys stop enabling me, I'd have to sell my boosters and spend more money on a token plus spend a big chunk of time...but I really like prereleases...

Sighhh maybe if I finish this cover letter/job app before you start I'll join in...
