I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.

Could be a thing. Bant Enchantments, mostly white probably for the removal, or blue for counters maybe? Add a couple walkers and there you go.

Heya guys! We seem to have most of the spoilers added. But I can't seem to find Assembled Alphas on the search/can't add it to decks!It seems I cant add or upload anything without being an upgraded member so, could someone please sort this please? :)

Ah pants, no edit/delete comment function. I found the correct thread to report this issue, very sorry

I need a high quality image for field creeper. Anyone know any places or something?

I'd like to apologize to everyone. I said Tamiyo was not OP. Can confirm, untrue. I pulled her today in pre-release and spell queller and went 4-1. It was a ballsy move without good mana fixing, but it worked just fine. She will be a nightmare in decks that can actually dedicate themselves to using her better. I felt as if the Magic Gods were trolling me by making me pull a Tamiyo after I've been so reluctant to try her.
Anyways, Tamiyo 10/10 and Emerge is broken AS FUCK. I have no clue how that mechanic made it out of R&D.
Turn 3 Matter Reshaper into a Turn 4 Distended Mindbender or Abundant Maw is going to wreck standard. I was so, so wrong about Emerge, but I'm glad I was. Time to check out on TCGplayer! Too many cards that are under the radar right now!

@ DrFunk27 - Sounds like things went the way I always hope these events would go but never do. Nice call on the Distended Mindbender.

Got Liliana and Archangel Avacyn.
My partner got Thalia and Lili'a Oath, so now we have all the oaths.
I'd call that a good prerelease.
July 17, 2016 6 a.m.
So my prerelease... I pulled utter jank. I got the white intro pack rare as my promo card ._. Anyway, I also got Thalia's Lancers, Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Dark Salvation, Docent of Perfection Flip, Elder Deep-Fiend, Lupine Prototype.
My biggest pools for commons and uncommons were in White and Green, so I pretty much had WG Humans XD I did pull a couple of emerge cards, namely Mockery of Nature and It of the Horrid Swarm
And I came SECOND!!! :D I didn't lose a single match, and only lost 2 games- The guy who came first, was my round 2 match up. He pulled TWO LILIANAS (one as promo) ;_; We only played two games, because game 2 went to time. Game 1 went super quick (bc WG aggro is beautiful... and he got mana screwed), but game 2 I struggled to find my removal for ANY of his creatures so he just sat there on his Tireless Tracker and Soul Swallower (luckily I killed off both Liliana's) until he had like 20 odd creatures.
My 9 prize packs didn't exactly have good pulls either- highlight of them was a Ishkanah, Grafwidow
which I needed. I got Mind's Dilation, Grim Flayer, Hanweir Battlements, Imprisoned in the Moon, another Thalia's Lancers, Stromkirk Occultist, Identity Thief, Collective Effort, Assembled Alphas.
July 17, 2016 2:05 p.m.
Guftders for my two prereleases I got 2 Ulrich of the Krallenhordes, with one of them being my foil promo, then a Ishkanah, Grafwidow, 1 Decimator of the Provinces, 1 Nahiri's Wrath, 1 Elder Deep-Fiend, 1 Stromkirk Condemned as my other foil promo, 1 Geier Reach Sanitarium, 1 Collective Defiance, 1 Hanweir Battlements and a Collective Brutality.
July 17, 2016 2:35 p.m.
Delta-117 Are you interested in trading any of it? Specifically the Sanitarium and Battlements.
Guftders Are you interested in trading the Grim Flayer?
July 17, 2016 2:38 p.m. Edited.
The lands I think I will want to hold onto DrFunk27 sorry. I like collecting cards from new sets and so I'm trying to next get Hanweir Garrison, and then Geier Reach Sanitarium I'm putting in a mill deck.
July 17, 2016 2:50 p.m.
I went to three prereleases, ended up with promo emrakul, Tamiyo, Field Researcher, all three SOI walkers, Grim Flayer, Ishkanah, Thalia, Eldritch Evolution, and Nahiri's Wrath.
July 17, 2016 5:12 p.m.
After trades and packs my notables were Thalia, 4 Quellers, Spider, Brisela (got both halves), Heron's Grace guy, Tamiyo, Nahiri, Wolfbot, Always Watching and like 9 intropack rares
July 18, 2016 12:21 a.m.
The only notable thing I pulled was Liliana, the Last Hope.

My Pre was a blast. I played u/w control/spirits. I got spell queller, the eldrazi-exile-tutor and emrakul itself. I only lost the finals to another u/w control deck, that was just better (that 4mana "exile all spells and abilities" thing is mean + having avacyn wins you everything).
July 18, 2016 3:26 a.m.
I had a lot of fun at the prerelease. despite pulling absolutely nothing of value. I played a UWb Control deck that splashed black for Collective Brutality and Dark Salvation (you could start a very successful band with those names!). Ended up going 3-1 after a narrow loss and it was awesome. The new set is great for limited and I will be drafting it next week!
July 18, 2016 4:11 a.m.
I got at my first prerelease 2 prize packs after going Loss, Win, Win to just get a Slayer's Plate and a Hanweir Battlements plus a Geier Reach Sanitarium, while my opponent I had just defeated in our third and last round was handed his prize packs first and got a Liliana, the Last Hope.
I have bad luck with these kind of things happening. Once at Friday Night Magic after it was over and before I left I bought a pack of Oath of the Gatewatch to get an Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and moments later someone else buys one too which would have been the one right next to it for a Chandra, Flamecaller.

Went to 3 releases
Top 8 one of them
The last one I played I lost the 2nd game in spectatular fashion (player dropped Emrakul, and if I survived one more turn I would've nailed her with Nahiri's -2), and was on tilt for the rest of the pre-release.
Bane of my existence was Spontaneous Mutation, that F***ING card cost me every game I lost.

Can't say I really opened anything spectacular other than a Thalia, Heretic Cathar in my two pre-releases or prize packs. I did manage however, to win my second pre-release with an all-in Triskaidekaphobia + 2 Accursed Witch Flip deck which was pretty funny.
July 18, 2016 11:12 a.m.
I don't go to prerelease, so look further along if you want reports on how they went.

I didn't open anything great either. Went 3-2 at my pre-release, placing 10th out of 32 players. I built a URw spells matter deck with Niblis of Frost, Identity Thief (my promo), and some other stuff. Those two are monsters in limited. In my last round, I ended up discarding Avacyn's Judgment to Mad Prophet for X=12 and swung in for the rest. My opponent was speechless for a few minutes.
One of the newer players opened a pack foil Liliana, the Last Hope and didn't have sleeves. It was painful to watch.
As I was leaving my 1PM event, the 7PM event attendees were arriving. Among them, a girl, who went up to the judge and said "Hi! I registered for the prerelease. Can you teach me how to play?" She had a basic grasp of the game, but boy that was going to be an awkward time for her.

If you're going to learn at a Limited event, better Sealed than Draft. You already own all the cards! One less thing to think about.
July 18, 2016 1:17 p.m.
I went to 4 prerelease events, placed high enough for packs at every event and placed top 8 at one with 120+ people. That was mostly due to an amazing card pool, Thalia, Heretic Cathar as my promo with Heron's Grace Champion and Gisela, the Broken Blade to back her up along with all the human tribal synergy I could ask for.
July 18, 2016 5:05 p.m.
So anyone else notice that [ [ Haunted Dead] ] isn't a thing
July 21, 2016 4 p.m.
pisci95, I had not noticed that lol, I doubt many others have either because it isn't a very good card though.
