Theros Prerelease

Dumb question but idk what colour to choose (they all seem good) I always play Green so that obviously appeals to me, but thenagain I always play Green and I like new adventures!

So post here what colour you guys will play and why.

Thanks

Blue & Red seem to be the way to go right now, but any choice is going to be fun I'm pre-reg'd for Blue on Saturday and Black on Sunday.....just because I love Dimir color combos.

That's true plus pulling a {Thoughtseize} would be great lol

I was chatting with some friends last night about this.

White's promo is amazing, and white has potential to be the overlooked golden egg in the set.

Green has something no other color seems to have that is going to be essential. Enchantment removal.

Red looks hit or miss. If you get the right cards, it hits, and hits HARD. If you don't get the right cards, it will fall flat FAST. But that's red for you.

No one seemed quite sure what to think about blue. "It looks good" seemed to be the consensus.

Black looks really solid, but maybe slightly slow. Removal is there, but expensive (unless you get the 3-mana rare), and you have plenty of bombs to choose from.

I think red looks amazing!

I agree Gorzo. While I think Heliod is the worst God printed, the regular white cards seem to trump most other regular cards, especially with RTR block. I actually think Thassa is the best. But there's just not enough blue support :/

Black or white. Just looking at the set both of these colors maintain a decent devotion, have actual game ending promos, and both have access to removal and other tricks. Remember to look mostly at the commons when making this decision since you will see a lot more commons than all other rarities combined.

I'm going white. Ill post pulls later

[Dmreiss]

I chose red and played U/G.  I ended up going 3-0-1.  We were both tired and decided to draw the last game.  We both walked away with winning ) packs.

[DirtyMustachio]

1/1 draw
2-0
didnt finish first game draw... [one turn man i just needed one turn]
2-0

[Caininite]

I chose red and went r/w 4-1 ended up getting a foil Heliod and Elspeth in one of the prize packs and Purphoros in another. All in all a good time.

I'm running a white/blue tempo deck

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Best card was {psychic intrusion} for me.  Garbage.  Went blue black.  It took 9th out of 17.  Bonus packs went to 8th.  I should have won 1 game instead of tying and I should have tied 1 game instead of losing.  Whatever, my pity pack had ashiok in it.  Score!  WHY couldn't that have been in packs I could put in my deck???  . I also made a sarcastic remark before we started about how horrible he was, so much so I wouldn't run him if I pulled him.  That's karma.

Leave Ashiok alone, he is great in casual fun decks and he destroys scrying.

So how does theros play?

[Thetrufflehunter]

Went {R}{W} aggro. Went 2-0 against mono {W}, 2-1 against {R}{U}, 2-1 against {R}{G} (piloted by the guy who owns the store), and 1-2 against {W}{G} due to TERRIBLE mana screw. I'm talking first hand all mana, next 2 no mana, once I've mulled to 4 all mana again. Next game same thing, I just took the 6 lander (I had one {titan's strength}).
