Made two decks, red/green, aggro as hell, and white/blue. No one pulled tamiyo, but there were a ton of caverns, one tibalt, one temporal mastery. One vexing devil. I didn't get any good rares, desolate lighthouse, and an entreat the angles, oh wait I pulled a somberwald sage!

Went 2-2, my brother did better, got 3rd, pulled an avacyn out of one of my packs, nothing cool really, the last round, second game I realized just how powerful {wolfir silverheart} is, man he beat me down quick, paired with a {nightshade peddler}. But game three I played a {somberwald sage} making it easy for me to play that 6/1 Geist, not just one, but three, then I paired him with {Druids familiar} and smashed face.

Post by: Jake, Fart Sculptor on April 28, 2012, 05:12:11 AM
And just a side note, {tibalt, the fiend blooded} is good. I've now seen it. And blink ability is insane also!!! Gonna play in another on Sunday.
Title: Re: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PRERELEASE!!!
Post by: Wally on April 28, 2012, 05:25:59 AM
Played the tourney and a 2HG match after. Both were awesome. Limited etc.
I pulled 2 mythic creatures. And one thing I will say is. The angels are strong, but you will need some decent amount of mana. Removal is great, almost all that I saw were instants.
My mate got two vexing devils. I got the new time walk card and {terminus}.
I played white blue (got the W/U gold angel) and pulled a double (1 foil one not) of {angel of glory's rise} and 3 of the {cathedral sanctifier} so I played a white life gain deck. Ended up drawn for second. :)

Guys im 2-0 with a UW flicker soulbound deck. I also got enough cards to build a GB soulbound removal deck. But I haven't even needed to use it yet. I'm undefeated in my matches. I'm feeling real good.

Yeah.  I got beat by a mono green deck that was able to play that miracle card that puts +1/+1 counters on a creature.  He put them on that wolf that can't be blocked by creatures with lower power.  He did that twice to me!  Lucky!

Seems like the iMTG crew represented well. I bet we're a pretty beastly group of players. Anyone interested in gettin a group together for a trip for a pro tour qualifier or something?

Also, the helvault opening was sweeeet! Me and my friend actually took the physical helvault home and it's on our mantle with the rest of our cards. For all you lore nerds, we keep a {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} and our oversized {Griselbrand} inside it. We just need a {Liliana of the Veil} to replay out the epic scene.
Title: Re: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PRERELEASE!!!
Post by: BlackJester on April 30, 2012, 03:07:00 PM
I went 1-2.  ;_;
I lost to a stupid {Stern Mentor}+{Galvanic Alchemist} mill machine in rounds two AND three.   >:(
I did manage to land a {Vigilante Justice}+{Thatcher's Revolt}+{Havengul Vampire}, and then gave the vampire (10/10 now) doublestrike w/ {Silverblade Paladin} (FOIL).  ;D 
Don't underestimate the power of the thatcher's!

Dropped to go into a booster draft, and dominated with two {Fettergeist}.  That thing is a MONSTER!  (literally :D)
I split the winnings with the other finalist (a buddy) 'cause we all had to leave.

Epic, seriously, draw sucked but then I pulled tamiyo and stuck it in a blue black red agro deck. second tournament ( matts was running 2 on Saturday ) I got avacyn and kicked ass in a white token deck. But I still pretty much failed and ended up offloading the tamiyo for phrygian obliterate and grimgrin
