People don't go to prereleases to win... Do they?

I always want to win atleast two packs when i go, but I'm mainly at the prerelease for fun. However i switch to super competitive pretty easy i found out at this last event. I pulled {stuffy doll} and played it all night without having to say a target, a gesture was enough in such a casual enviroment. However on the last match i tapped stuffy doll and my opponent (someone i played often, but wouldnt call more than an acquaintance) said "you didnt choose a player". That was it, i snapped, looked at him coldly and said "fine then, this wont be an enjoyable match" and stomped him 2-0 and caught every little priority mistake he made. I felt kinda bad after, but he's a grown man, he can deal with it. And it didnt hurt our relationship (what little there is).

Yeah I go to win packs. It's nice to win a box by paying 30$ since I don't buy packs often.

I know this scenario well. Its infuriating to see people who want the rules followed to the T but when it's there turn they play kitchen table style. My roommate ripped into a dude pretty heavily for this.

Im going Izzet all the way.


Also, do you think there will be mythic promos?

There's a promo for each guild guild, but what rarity is impossible to say. Would be nice to get a mythic like Niv Mizzet himself as the promo, but I'm guessing based on recent past prerelease promos that it'll be a rare "big-wig" of the guild, probably not mythic.  100% speculation.

Probably also legendary. Assuming they're reprints:
Izzet: {Tibor and Lumia} or {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}
Azorious: {Grand Arbiter Augustin IV} or {Insperia the Inscrutable}
Selesnya: {Chorus of the Conclave} or {Tolsimir Wolfblood}
Rakdos: {Rakdos the Defiler} or {Lyzoldia the Blood Witch}
Golgari: {Savra, Queen of the Golgari} or {Sisters of Stone Death}

Sisters and augustine r dead according to comic con

[BlackJester]

I'm predicting all new printings of legendary "big-wigs", no reprints.  For the promos that is.  And I really, REALLY hope that Nivvy makes it to PW status.  Gimmie my Izzet Planeswalker! 

Also, now there's no love for Golgari in the polls.  Interesting development. 

[scarsabrex]

if anything wouldn't an izzet pe be ral zarek?

[BlackJester]

I don't know if it would have to be, it's not as though every {U} PW has to be Jace.
I could see them going either way, really.

Sorry bro, it was confirmed guild leaders would be legendary creatures. Nivvy is a guild leader. Sorry man.

Won't new jace be {U} {W}? Dimir isn't an option till gatecrash

That or {R}{B} if mixed at all. The walkers don't have to follow the trends of the plane.
