Kessig Dire Swine
Creature — Boar Horror
Delirium — Kessig Dire Swine has trample as long as there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard.

With enough lifegain, Ajani's Pridemate can be REALLY powerful! Nice card! But if you ask me, I'd remove Elder Pine of Jukai and Iname, Life Aspect because you only have 4 spirits in the deck. Personally I don't like creatures that must attack each round like the Juggernaut. And once again I don't think you can have easily delirium, so Kessig Dire Swine is just an ordinary fatty. In my opinion, Blanchwood Armor and Howl of the Night Pack would be better in a mono-green deck. In fact, that is my advice: you should make one mono-white lifegain deck and one mono-green deck.

Most competitive evolve lists run a little faster using cheap creatures that can trigger evolve multiple times (ie: Strangleroot Geist). But since you're in casual right now, you get a lot more freedom to build a slower deck. That being said, I think any midrange evolve list would still benefit from some longevity insurance like lifegain and card draw. Cards like Zameck Guildmage, Fathom Mage, Bow of Nylea, and Scavenging Ooze are some options I've seen used before. Other than that, you might just consider upgrading some of the other creatures. Adaptive Snapjaw, for example, is pretty weak and could just as easily be any other big dude. Kessig Dire Swine is also in that category since a 6/6 trample for 6 is fairly behind the curve in a constructed format. If you just need a big guy that triggers evolve at 6 mana, the swine isn't any better than something like Terra Stomper. Further, you might find even more use in big guys that also provide other utility such as Pelakka Wurm and Thragtusk. Finally, I'm not sure the infect creatures are the strongest in this build. Certainly evolve and infect can be combined using proliferate cards (ie: Tezzeret's Gambit), but this build isn't structured to support that. The end result is that the aggressive infect gameplan doesn't match with the midrange evolve gameplan. I'd rather have other guys with big stats and utility like Tree of Redemption or Jaddi Lifestrider.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd on My First Prerelease
8 years ago
So I did 2 prereleases today. The first one I opened an Olivia, Mobilized for War and Relentless Dead in my pool along with some strong green fixing, so I played Jund. My decklist was as follows:
Some ratio of basic lands that I don't remember.
This deck was easily the most fun I've ever had playing magic. It was silly, powerful, interactive, synergistic and by god was it fun.
It started off 3-0, then in round 4 I was paired own, so my opponent conceded to me and we split the prizes. So my finish was 4-0. Part of my prize was that I got free entry into another prerelease, so I did another. Oh yeah, I also got Thing in the Ice Flip in my prize packs in the first prerelease.
So then I went to the second prerelease. This one was miserable. My pool had Archangel Avacyn Flip, and wow was she a disappointment. My pool had terrible support, and good creatures except for Avacyn. I felt that white, as a whole, was terrible in this set for sealed. I tried playing mardu, but I literally didn't win a game with my deck until round 4, where I lost in 3, for an 0-4 finish. Not only did I lose, but my deck was some of the most painful, tedious, and unfun magic I have ever played.
So I have seen both ends of the spectrum from this set - the absolute best to the absolute worst. The latter experience more closely relates to your question, and, to be honest, I couldn't find a way to make it the best experience possible. However, I've had friends go for complete jank in their prerelease and have a blast without doing very well. Sadly, in my pool, there wasn't much potential for jank that could work.
