Should I choose Selesnya or Golgari? What are the pros and cons of each?
EDIT: I mean for the prerelease
Golgargi for Jarad
Golgari. Selesnya needs to be combined with black to be good imo. Golgari seems that it will be good in the prerelease!
Yeah, I'll go with golgari. If the cards are too expensive to make a good golgari deck later on, i'll probably buy some selsenya.

You're not guaranteed to get Jarad at the prerelease.
But if most people seem to want to go golgari what's a good guild against it?

Izzet or azorious. Burn or control is good against creatures.
I think stall/control would be better. Detain can slow the undead down, killing them doesn't slow them as much.
I'd say just pick a guild that excites you. For me prereleases are about fun, not winning top 4. But that's just me. 😏
Azorius isn't unblockable. It will have problems verse Selesnya (but can destroy them with board sweeps). It will have an edge vs. Golgari and Rakdos ({arrest} their big creatures).
It stands to be pretty balanced right now. Few outright beatdowns exist in my opinion. I think Golgari will stomp Izzet pretty outright, and I think Selesnya ramping with that uncounterable creep will be a major player in the meta (spikes love value).

Which uncounterable ramps?
Not uncounterable ramp. Just ramping into {Loxodon Smiter} by turn 3. Going to be a thing.
I love izzet!
I can't decide between orzhov or azorius

You mean ramping for t2. No ramping needed for a T3 uncounterable 4/4.

Now all I got in my head is someone going to a prerelease with a vintage deck haha
Gah... I can't decide what guild to pick!!!
Okay turning to you guys for some help. What guild has the best commons and uncommons?
Are you going there to win, or to have a good time?

Play Azorius in Return to Ravnica prerelease and Orzhov in the Gatecrash prerelease: problem solved😃
I'm thinking Golgari is looking pretty good.

I was thinking {B}{G} or {B}{R}.
But if you say golgari. I'll trust the mighty Jester.
Izzet all the way
That Golargi. Always getting in to trouble

HA! If you want to win, the Jester is the LAST person you should listen too! 😂
I'm goin Izzet, 'cause I love the guild. 💜
Honestly I think azorious will get the most balanced stuff to win from
But I only want golgari stuff so no point in pulling from that
I'm going rakdos because black is my play style, and while golgari is more powerful on its on vs rakdos, most of the stuff I need for my deck is from rakdos.
Quote from: KangaRod on September 17, 2012, 01:32:51 AM
Just pick the one that suits your style the best. Prereleases are just suppose to be a fun time where you can fart around with the new cards and see how they play
That's how I feel too, but some of the bigger events sport some pretty beefy prizes. 💎
Going with Golgari; did the quiz thing on the site, but said I'm more with Simic... though seeing how they aren't in RtR... lol.
Also, would be my first at a sanctioned event and sealed.
Is selsyani {G}{W} in this set. I've heard some buddies of mine thinking that the token making abilities will b the key to victory.
That's how I got my best finish was with a token deck.

Good luck, Limited is a complicated format. You'll have fun for sure though 😁
This Pre-Release is going to be so nutty! Going Golgari, and hoping for Rakdos bombs! Jund time baby!

Limited usually means within a block or individual set. Most commonly referred are drafts and sealed.

Prereleases are a sealed deck format. You get 6 packs and make a 40 card deck with what you pull. The other part of limited is drafting. So limited is sealed and draft.
I'm going Azorious for the prerelease. I don't think many ppl where I play are going to chose {U} so I might get some good pulls.
