What path (color) are you guys choosing and why?
I can't decide yet if I'm doing 2 or 3 prereleases. But... I'm definitely going Red for one day (I love the red I'm seeing in this set, and the dragon looks pretty solid) and I'm thinking White for another (the white rares in this set are making me drool, and maybe I'll get lucky and get that absurd cat! Archon promo isn't the best, but who knows? If I get any {Ordeals of Heliod} in the Theros packs, he'll be beyond annoying lol)
No clue what color for a 3rd day if I am able to go. I'm not in love with the blue in Born of the Gods, but the blue in Theros is super fun. Black looks like it could be pretty powerful, and I like the demon. And then there's that hydra in green, which I love, but the rest of green isn't wowing me.
What about you all? What's your choice(s)?
Brimaz+Iroas+Ordeals=happy funtimes
I'm going black, but I'm biased towards black
I'm going Blue, if possible.
Which is weird, cause I make it a point to never play Blue.
I haven't really decided. What do you guys think is the best promo to use in limited?

whites or blues
White might be good, I like to play white. Although the green one is really cool. The only problem is it doesn't have trample....
I'll probably do red, and if I can convince my parents to let me go again I'll do blue or white. Probably blue.
White just looks so silly.
Blacks New bestow guys are strong.
Maybe ill combine hero of iroas with that
Red baby. I want that DARGON! Sweet little rawrface <3

Lol this made me happy, cannot explain why
Think I'm gonna skip it and see if I can get all five later on. Good luck to those who do the event. Btw when is it?
Probably Green or White
Just looked it up. Kinda disappointed only 2 packs of BotG. But 3 of theros, and a mixed pack of your color.
definitely white and then blue or red.
Does anyone know what packs you get for two headed giant?

same as normal prerelease i think, except you just get 2 prerelease boxes. :(
I'm not even sure if I want to go any more! Why would wizards do this??
Wait so that sign that says 2 headed giant, that's prerelease not just a 2 headed giant tournament!? Better chance of me going then

probably. but it might depend on what store you're going to...
I'll need to check that lol
How about prize payout. Is that all botg at least?
i like to do 2 headed giant prereleases with my friends, much more fun than normal ones but sadly i haven't been able to do a 2hg one for the whole theros block. well, just theros and botg.

Says it will include BotG packs. But doesn't say only. Ask your lgs for details

Prize support is store related.

Our card shop is doing 100% botg!
Are they taking all the theros packs back? Because these are premade packs. Similar to RtR GTC and theros. Just curious because I might suggest this to my lgs but I'm not sure how much BotG stuff they are allocated

3 of born of the gods and two of theros makes more sense
it says their is a seeded booster pack as well so it seems more like 3 theros and 3 Botg
Pretty sure the seeded pack is half and half.

My guess it's gonna be similar to the RtR and GTC. The pack will contain good cards in the color of your choice from both sets. Would suck if you wanted to do a certain color and couldn't even field enough of that color to make a deck.
I'm trying to decide between white or red. Red has more removal, but I kinda want that tiny chance of opening a {brimaz, king of oreskos} in my specific color pack...
I'm going Blue. I'm building a Sea Monster EDH deck, and Blue has approximately all of my like.

More or less why my second day choice is white :P gotta make that soldier tribal deck, and I'm loving the soldiers in this set so far!
See I want to play black, but unless I pull an elspeth there's really not enough steady token production to fuel eater of hope.
Black control looks pretty sweet.. I might try to draft it soon, but for the prerelease I think I'll go red. Good idea? Or other suggestions?
Going three times, white, then red, then green. I don't particularly like the white promo, however white looks like the strongest colour. Red promo is quite good, and red looks like a decent colour. The green promo is IMO the best promo for sealed, which is why I'll pick green.
I just realized tribute can give you valuable information about the other player
I do FNM when I can run black green mostly. I've never done a pre release and family takes up most of my time but I'm gonna go to this one thinking of choosing white or blue they seam amazing.
is white better or red better? what do you guys think?
I'm torn between blue and red, think I will go blue tho
Although the more I look at {W} the more I like it... Hmmm...
The problem is that BNG {U} seems to not have very much powerful common/uncommon whereas {R} and {W} do... But {U} and {W} are awesome in THS which is half of the pack... I think that {R} has the best promo overall though but is the worst in THS...
{U} promo is pretty cool too...
Dang this is a hard decision. And I have to make the final decision by tonight!
Not too stoked on the 2 THS 1BoG pack ratio
I'm actually pleased that they splashed Theros after doing some play testing and building. The synergy between the two sets will be very nice.
Also the archeotype cards in {W} and {R} are much easier to cast than the {U}.

I went green first and ended up a pretty good amount of cards to go green with and also the option to add a minor splash of any other color
2nd I went black
If you go black, your bomb will most likely be your promo, I ended up with very few black cards overall and clearly would have been prompted to go another color with a splash of another. Namely white. I got a ton of white, then for BoG rares, I got 2 temples {W}{U} & {B}{R} so I did have the option for minotaurs, with the promo as the final bomb.
Gonna geek on this for a second, but still thinking green for at least one this weekend.

Thanks! I ran this a few times and it solidified my choice in blue!

Okay, so let's talk about the seeded booster pack. Your seeded booster pack contains lots of cards of the color that corresponds to the destiny you choose, but—and this is important!—not every card in the pack is in that color. So if you choose to be Destined to Dominate (because black is the best color—oops, bias!) your seeded booster pack will contain mostly black cards, but it will also have cards from the other colors. Note that it is possible to get a multicolor God for your chosen color in your seeded booster pack but no other mythic rares.
No funds for Pre-Release, but if I could go, I would pick Green/White, as that seems to be a good build frame with strong cards in those colors, in Theros, coupled with the potential of the new Bomb Cat Legendary, and Green's potential to ramp, via devotion.

What's the best way to play/build for 2hg? That's what I want to do.
Depends colors
I'm looking to go white with my partner for 2hg. We can share our pool and that does make a difference in partners. So if I get more control stuff, well I'm on defense

Wait what??. You can share pools????
I thought that was against the rules of sealed?!?!
for two headed giant you can share pools. for 1 person sealed you cant trade or use other cards. been testing a lot of mock prerelease tournys on cockatrice and im loving white. keep opening the first strike archetype and {fabled hero}s.
Limited resources released the commons and uncommons set review. Give it a listen!
Bumping for you draft geeks who haven't seen it
Last 24 hours to geek on potential packs

I'm going white due to my inability to choose anything else. I love the quick paced game that {W} makes
I chose red but now am considering trying to switch to white....white seems so good right now. And chance for kitty king...
