Title: Rtr prerelease
Post by: Rass on September 10, 2012, 08:38:03 PM
Ok someone tell me what would you rate the guilds in order from 1 to 5.

Depends on your play style. I don't think there's really a definite #1 guild as of right now.

As of now with About 1/3 spoiled. I'd say:

Golgari and rakdos in 1
G/W In 2
U/W and izzet in 3

Why rakdos? It's power cards seem pretty confined to high rarities. In limited play it's mechanic seems difficult to use effectively without the reliability of playing with the support available a constructed deck.

I would definately put Selesnya up there with golgari as far as the prerelease goes. Tokens are a familiar archetype for players right now as is ramp, plus token generation is extremely valuable in limited play because their lack of off field durability is how their costs tend to remain low or are tied in to make super utility card, but that disadvantage is hard to exploit against them in limited play.

Regardless i love izzet and will provably play izzet in the events.

Golgari because of decay and pw? 6/6 beatstic adds to black ownage.

Id have to say I agree with this as well.

Rakdos and Azourios switch IMHO

B/W control has always bored me. I started in the shards block and have alway loved grixis/Jund control. So I'm kinda biased toward those colors. And I just don't like the izzet cards right now but I do hope for some better ones spoiled. And G/W will more then likely be a big hit at the prerelease.

In my order of preference:
1:Izzet
2:Rakdos
3:Golgari
4:Azorius
5:Selesnya

Although it's more of a four-way tie for second. ;D

I guess I'm still washing out the bad taste of Rakdos from last time around. Really, it was awful! 💩

Looking way better this time around.

Izzet- best field control
Azorius- nice soft control
golgari- good staying power
Selesnya- good swarming
rakdos- meh

I was selesnya all the way before the spoilers because I am such a {W}{G} player. But now, I think I'm going golgari bc it looks like so much fun!!!! And not even for the planes walker. Just the theme seems more centralized and focused than all the others.

My thoughts exactly......Selesnya with a splash of {B} to run {lingering souls} and {Sorin lord of Innistrad}

Of course, I am talking constructed ;)

And the rewards were not great enough to justify it either.

I was going u/r, but I'm going to wait to make my final decision.  I want to see more commons spoiled.  That's what you're going to get the most of in a limited format like the prerelease.  It's the power commons that are going to make a big difference.
