^^^ Yes but you have to choose a color for the prerelease to determine which rare you get.

You choose before you draft your packs? 😳

Similar to the gatecrash and rtr drafts

No drafting at prereleases....  It's sealed.  Drafting actually isn't allowed for prereleases.

"When you show up at a Prerelease you will be given the opportunity to play with the newest cards in the following formats:

Sealed Deckβ€” Each player receives oneTherosPrerelease Pack to use for building a deck.

Two-Headed Giant Sealedβ€” Each team of two players receives twoTheros Prerelease Packs to use for building their decks. (One Prerelease Pack per player; players do not need to choose the same color.)"

You get 1 promo rare to use, and 6 theros packs and some other stuff.  You choose which rare you want which is your "color".

Not 6 boosters.. Its like rtr & gatecrash.   

Choose your color

Each Prerelease Pack contains items designed specifically for the chosen Heroic Path.

5 Theros booster packs
1 seeded booster pack
1 promo card
1 Choose Your Path activity card
1 Spindownβ„’ life counter
1 Hero's Path Welcome Letter
1 Hero Card

Same here. Does anyone know or want to tell me what time the prereleases are at? Are they 6-12 like FNM, or are they all day long?

It's all up to your LGS. They will tell you what times and what days. Give em a call, or just ask at FNM on Friday.

Yeah each lgs is different.  The 2 I go to are completely different.  1 has a normal prerelease at noon then a 2hg pr at 6. Both sat and Sunday...  The other lgs has a midnight pr, then a flight (pr) like every 2 hours from 11am on Saturday. Then on Sunday they have another 2 or 3 flights. For a total of at least 8 flights or pr....   The cool thing that the lgs that offers so many prereleases does is since dgm, for every pr you sign up for and play, the following weekend you get a free draft the next weekend.  That's like an extra $15 towards the prerelease price.

I try to do 2 at that lgs, and sat night I do the 2hg with a buddy.

Hey I go there sometimes! I usually go to Unique Gifts and Games in Grayslake, IL though. People are very nice there. However I think extreme games hosts better tournys.

I picked white because I wanted to make a white/green pillow fort fight club deck. Was that a mistake?

Been meaning to take a drive out there but haven't had a reason to go that way

I'm pumped for this, thinking of doing 2hg with my brother (we synergize well) and we are trying G/U just for fun
