Our LGS had it's prerelease today and I got a blue pack. I played {U}{R} because of my pulls.I got the new God Keranos as well as Thassa and the new Ajani! I really enjoyed my prerelease today and I won second place! Got sox more packs. Have yet to open them. Tell me how your pre-release was.
I got 4th with an American deck with Keranos. Got 4 packs, got eidolon of the great revel and aegis of the gods. Stayed up for over 24 hours, but I had fun!
If you pulled Ajani and Keranos then you pulled 2 of the best cards in the set. Congrats
I went 3-2-1, got 18th, barely slipped into prizes. Pulle Athreos =]

Are you trading it?
Went 2-2 due to some terrible draws and having to mull in 8/11 games. Got 2 prize packs though with mana confluence and the u/r scry land so it wasn't a total bust.
Need dat land. Up for grabs?
I'm playing tomorrow, might be posting some stuff on Instagram with #imtgjou or something like that..
weird, i got {keranos, god of storms} as well. got two {stormchaser chimera} a {nimbus naiad} and {vaporkin}. brought the flying beats and went 3-1. i actually got {keranos, god of storms} active for lethal once but normally his card advantage was sick.
I placed second! Ran B/W where I often found myself winning games with {Evangel of Heliod}, {Gray Merchant of Asphodel}, and a bunch of flyers. My big pulls were two {Deicide}s and {Mana Conflunce}.
To give you an idea how bad my draws were, my rares were this: chose white...
Got the promo white card, the +2/+2 flash enchant, deicide, celestial archon, ephara, hero of iroas... That's right, 5 in color rares.
Best pull out of prerelease pack was a {Aegis of the Gods}, but got third and opened Ajani in the prize packs. Still have 2 more though, one today and one Sunday.
Nobody got {godsend}? I am interested to see that card in use

One kid at my thing pulled it in a prize pack.
Went W/B ou reason 3/1 bad plays first round great limited yds though got three packs pulled godsend!
I got pretty much nothing, but we bought more prerelease packs, and got all red. Ended up getting 3 copies of Iroas in one day :D!
My best pull was {prophet of Kruphix} and I took first in my pre-release and proceeded to open up 6 more .50 rares haha but still had a blast
I got fourth running a R/W heroic deck after I pulled two {Launch the Fleets}.
Lost first round 0-2
Remade deck 3x and ended with a simic deck after some suggestions from friend.
Went on to win 2-0 and then the next match was going to be a 2-0 but it was late and I had to leave, needed sleep/meet up with GF. So I just gave the guy both games since he wanted to play all night
My card pool was more or less as valuable as toilet paper. The two best cards were prophet of kruphix and a temple of triumph and couldn't use either as there was practically zero support for those colours. I ended up having a green deck with a splash of black and white. Played 18 land out of the 40 and was still mana screwed in every game except one. In the final round I lost to a 5 colour deck that had perfect mana in all the games. Finished up with a disappointing 2-2-1 and that was probably an overachievement for the deck I had. Even so, I still had a blast and got a kruphix in my prize pack.
Good luck
At a biz conference this weekend... No go for me oh well guess I'll buy a box
Copied from my friend's text about his prerelease:
"No god packs but somebody pulled a foil Kiora and a foil athreos along with a normal Kiora and a polukranos and an ajani and good cards and played bant."
WHAT! I WANT THAT PRERELEASE BOX!

Kiora with foil Kiora behind it? Seems decent.

Very.... If that was the same guy who opened 2 kioras in 2 BotG prereleases in a row.... then something's weird....

I saw them both, actually. It was crazy.
Also, there was a guy who opened the double {chromanticore} botg pack and played 5 color.... :D
good luck with the rest! Assuming it's not over yet...
Went 3-1 with B/G with a splash of blue for prophet and almost got DQed because my seeded had a theros rare on color and some guy tried to make a point that I stacked my pack.
4th place at my prerelease, went 4-1 with I think 2 or 3 losses the whole time. 4 prize packs, and opened an {Athreos, God of Passage} and a shiny {Mana Confluence} in them. I'm very happy! :D

whoa... That's 100 dollars in 4 packs..
It's not really 100. The mana confluence won't be worth 85 once there are more the 2 listed on tcgplayer. So it's only $65-70 :)
Very last game of the prerelease with everyone gathered around because we were the last playing on game 3. I managed to stall out a draw to a 57k+ power and toughness {Heroes' Bane} with a {Akroan Mastiff}
Bonus, because of the extra pack I won from drawing that out I got a {Mana Confluence}. Adds to another one I got earlier in the weekend and a {Godsend}.

i love doge! so much good!
Did a 2HG and went undefeated.
{Worst Fears} and {Prophet of Kruphix} did work.
I didn't have the cash to go to pre release which made me so upset, I will be individually getting ajani though because he is so boss
Went 3-0 in 2HG pulled pharika and ajani then pulled another pharika out of the one pack Ive opened so far.
^need both pharikas.

Hmm let me finish updating my needs list and maybe u can make me an offer but atm Im itching to build around her.

Got the promo white card, the +2/+2 flash enchant, deicide, celestial archon, ephara, hero of iroas... That's right, 5 in color rares.
Makes me sick. I pulled: White promo & {Aegis of the Gods} (seeded), {Reverent Hunter}, {Whip of Erebos}, Hero of Iroas, {Scourge of Fleets}, {Doomwake Giant}.
I played {W}&{B} (can't ignore that whip), but I didn't pay attention to a lot of the new cards and silly plays cost me 2 games. Ended up going 1-3.
I won a single pack and pulled {Launch the Fleets}. So far I've only got 1 mythic from both Theros and BotG. I'm hoping to do better with Nyx, but I doubt I'll buy more than just a fat pack, so I've only got 9 more chances.
I did a2 headed giant swiss and placed 1st we both pulled a xenagos, the reveler in prerelease than i walked away it 8 packs of jin and i opened r/u scry and atheros and a buch of other jusnk rares
