So figured I would ask what everyone is thinking of choosing?
http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1312
Naya looks hella OP so far.
Mono color is going to win. If someone can have enough devotion for say, Thassa, that 3 drop 5/5 indestructible will end it. I see no hope for triple color do make it, but dual color MIGHT. Just depends on the pulls I suppose
Yeah. Although, I repeat, Constructed might see a LOT of bays! But prerelease, yeah, mono will be best.
Was asking which color pack you were gonna pick. I'm thinking white or blue.
I'll probably go either green or blue, they look the best. Except, of course, the Azorius multi ones look boss.
I think I'm gonna go green or black
Doing all 3 prereleases. Black, then Red, then Blue. Grixis, baby!
Gonna do White. The bestow won't help but using the 5 drop 4/4 with flying and first strike will do some wrecking. Hoping to go two color though if I get good stuff in packs.
I'm going to run whatever my pulls alow me to. I never go in thinking "I'm gonna run white" if you do you'll get everything else lol. Atleast that's what happened to me at the rtr prerelease. I picked izzet as my guild...and got nothing great in red or blue.
^^^ Yes but you have to choose a color for the prerelease to determine which rare you get.

You choose before you draft your packs? 😳
Green looks funnish. All my friends are doing a naya color, so I might do black... Or white... Or red.... Or green..... Or blue...

You've got it narrowed down, then... You're fine ;)
You already saw my deck.

Similar to the gatecrash and rtr drafts

No drafting at prereleases.... It's sealed. Drafting actually isn't allowed for prereleases.
"When you show up at a Prerelease you will be given the opportunity to play with the newest cards in the following formats:
Sealed Deck— Each player receives oneTherosPrerelease Pack to use for building a deck.
Two-Headed Giant Sealed— Each team of two players receives twoTheros Prerelease Packs to use for building their decks. (One Prerelease Pack per player; players do not need to choose the same color.)"
Quote from: Taysby on September 09, 2013, 12:16:56 AM
You get 1 promo rare to use, and 6 theros packs and some other stuff. You choose which rare you want which is your "color".
Not 6 boosters.. Its like rtr & gatecrash.
Choose your color
Each Prerelease Pack contains items designed specifically for the chosen Heroic Path.
5 Theros booster packs
1 seeded booster pack
1 promo card
1 Choose Your Path activity card
1 Spindown™ life counter
1 Hero's Path Welcome Letter
1 Hero Card
Yay!!! Prereleases are some of the best days of the year. 13 Days til Prerelease
Ahh okay, this will be my first prerelease, so thanks for the info! 😁

Same here. Does anyone know or want to tell me what time the prereleases are at? Are they 6-12 like FNM, or are they all day long?

It's all up to your LGS. They will tell you what times and what days. Give em a call, or just ask at FNM on Friday.

Yeah each lgs is different. The 2 I go to are completely different. 1 has a normal prerelease at noon then a 2hg pr at 6. Both sat and Sunday... The other lgs has a midnight pr, then a flight (pr) like every 2 hours from 11am on Saturday. Then on Sunday they have another 2 or 3 flights. For a total of at least 8 flights or pr.... The cool thing that the lgs that offers so many prereleases does is since dgm, for every pr you sign up for and play, the following weekend you get a free draft the next weekend. That's like an extra $15 towards the prerelease price.
I try to do 2 at that lgs, and sat night I do the 2hg with a buddy.

Hey I go there sometimes! I usually go to Unique Gifts and Games in Grayslake, IL though. People are very nice there. However I think extreme games hosts better tournys.
I picked white because I wanted to make a white/green pillow fort fight club deck. Was that a mistake?

Been meaning to take a drive out there but haven't had a reason to go that way
I'm pumped for this, thinking of doing 2hg with my brother (we synergize well) and we are trying G/U just for fun
Should I go green, red, or blue? I'm not going black or white because my brother is going white and one of my friends is going black.
You don't choose a color, you choose a path:
{W}-The Path of Honor
{U}-The Path of Wisdom
{B}-The Path of Ambition
{R}-The Path of Battle
{G}-The Path of Might
My bad, which path should I choose?

Its not your fault and technically you are still right just wanted to point out how they are adding flavor to the prerelease.
This will be my first prerelease.
You're given packs to construct a deck with, right? Is there a standard amount of time allowed for building the decks or does it vary from shop to shop?
I'm thinking like... 20min?

I think it depends on the shop. You can always ask before you sign up.
What do people think is the best path? (Yes, it depends on what you open, but I'm mostly talking about the promos) I think I'm choosing white for the 2 headed giant sealed I'm (hopefully) doing
The white and red promos are both really good IMHO.
Has anyone seen spoilers for the alt-art on the prerelease promos?
And
Does anyone know what "Hero Card" comes with each prerelease path?
As for color pick...
I'm pretty sure I'm going black. Abhorrent Overload looks great for limited - even if he is a bit expensive.
But they all look good for limited depending on your play style.
