Guild prerelease question

[Imdowd80]

So I know people on here are all talking about the what guilds they want to play, and what guild is best. My question is why guild is going to be best for a sealed tourney. 40 card decks
And how much is it gonna suck if you pick alone guild and get nothing of those two colors?

The way the prerelease sealed is going to work is that you get a promo of a rare in the guild you pick, and one pack of your 6 packs will be a special pack containing nothing but cards from that guild. So you WILL get at least 15 cards of your guild, and it'd be just plain silly if your remaining 5 packs can't give you 8 more in those 2 colors.

Don't forget that each guild shares it's colors with 2 other guilds. If you play Rakdos, you can use black cards from golgari and red cards from izzet. So I wouldn't worry about not getting enough cards for your guild.

Can you use the promo in the tourney?

Can you use the promo in the tourney?

Yep.  New rule this time.  Promo is playable.

[BlackJester]

Can you use the promo in the tourney?

for the first time, yes!  You never used to be allowed.

Im probably going pick rakdos or golgari and then I'm hoping my packs let me play Jund.

Personally, I try to focus on two colors with maybe a splash of a third. Depends on your color-fixing though.

I find it hard to play two color decks now for some reason. It seems like to much space for cards and not restricting enough for my choices. Maybe in a 40 card deck that will be deferent for me.

Sealed is different than constructed.

I tried a 3 color deck, once, and got decimated. I only do 2 colors in sealed.

[smokin terry]

I've done 3 and made top.

Naya mid range in AVR prerelease, finished first. Flickering {craterhoof behemoth} and {thunderbolt} to clean up fliers (2 {abundant growth} to fix mana. Good times.

Was it an even balance of colors, more or less?

If you've got sufficient color fixing, it's not as bad.  RtR will likely have it's share of fixing.
Let's look at possible tri-color combinations:
{G}{W}{U}
{W}{U}{R}
{U}{B}{R}
{B}{R}{G}
{B}{G}{W}

Based on guilds, these are the ones I see.  I could be off, mind you.

I've seen a 5 color deck win first at drafts in innistrad. It's all about what cards you get.

Wow!  But is draft different than sealed?  Do you have more room in Draft?
