Took second at the midnight prerelease at my lgs. Went 4-0-1 with a fun deck. First round I won game one; then game two we each had massive boardstates but neither could get ahead (went to time for the draw). Then 2-0; four in a row

Somehow I completely neglected pretty much all of the major components that make up kaladesh. Energy, vehicles, revolt, servos/thopters... shit I didn't even have flying

is good. Hidden Stockpile does work, I was scared. Dawnfeather Eagle can turn the tides in a stalemate

is crazy strong. I think won first.

21 people total. No masterpieces were opened during the event. Still, 10/10 would recommend.

A Servo token showed up in a recent draft. Also, Vedalken Blademaster shows up as Vedalkan Blademaster, which is incorrect.

Spell Shrivel is great because people are so anxious to get out their planeswalker and tap out to get it out, you Spell Shrivel it and they cant pay the cost, AND it is exiled so its great against delirium decks!

As for the standard meta right now, Spell Queller Reflector Mage are big in blue control right now, but like you said, that would be running white in this deck. Plus they do get pricey for a play set.

maybe some Vedalken Blademaster or even Ingenious Skaab for the prowess would be a huge impact.

If you really are going to run Vedalken Blademaster, you might as well run Ingenious Skaab instead.

Also, your manabase does not support your splashes like you think it does. If you refer to http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/frank-analysis-how-many-colored-mana-sources-do-you-need-to-consistently-cast-your-spells/ , you'll see that you need 13 red sources to consistently give you R on turn 2, and 14 white sources to consistently give you W on turn 1 (11 for W on turn 4).

Thriving turtle and ibex are really good, especially with aether tradewinds. Aether tradewinds is nasty with torrential gearhulk. Inspired charge is game winning with cards like glint-sleeve and accomplished automaton.

My last game I bounced the cloudblazer at least 4-5 times. My opponent was shocked. We'd never seen a boardstate like that at prerelease ever.

I honestly didn't think I had a great pool, with my promo being a Dubious Challenge, but the synergy was solid and I never changed out a single card once I started. SO STOKED! The best I've ever done at a prerelease in the past was 3rd. Tonight/today (?) I took 1st!!!
