So, I plan to attend the RtR prerelease. I wanted to ask: what should I expect? I mean, do you have to attend both days, or can you make one or the other to work around time issues and still be in good shape? What usually goes on?
Most importantly, how much money should I save to pay for this thing?
If you like spoilers, reading up on the cards before the set comes out can help you know what you're looking for. Some game shops do multiple pre-releases so check with yours to see what they have. Some do midnight Friday, 1-2pm sat and sun. Each event is separate with separate prize pools and entry fees. Typical entry is $20-$30, for which you usually get a promo card and 6 boosters to make your deck, then you get prizes based on wins. Allot 5-6 hours to the event. Check with your local game shop for more info.
RtR's prerelease is going to be a little different (and awesome). Check Prophs Comicon post that is stickied above for details.
