What Did You Pull at Prerelease
General forum
Posted on July 13, 2014, 2:05 p.m. by InnerFlame
Now that prerelease is just about over, I was wondering what the best pack was that you heard of.
I pulled a Nissa, Worldwaker , Llanowar Wastes , Soul of Zendikar , and 2 Elvish Mystic s. But someone at my local game shop pulled a garruk and liliana.
Avacyn, Guardian Angel , Perilous Vault , Hoarding Dragon from my Seeded Pack, I was pumped, as he was HEAVILY playable with Juggernaut Phyrexian Revoker , I used him to shut down souls and Planeswalkers. I went 4-0 at my prerelease.

Lol I pulled Sliver Hivelord and Sliver Hive and went 5 colours because of that and because I had horrible cards so I took the best out of each colour. Went 1-2-1, one win, two losses and 1 draw

I pulled Ajani Steadfast and Soul of New Phyrexia . Unfortunately, the rest of my pool was garbage, so I did horribly, but I feel I came out ahead anyway with those.

I pulled literally nothing of value (Battlefield Forge was my best pull in that sense), but managed to go 4-0 on double Ajani's Pridemate , double Soulmender , double Indulgent Tormentor . (Full pool here B/W Life, Prerelease 4-0, if anyone wants to give feedback on my build because I'm actively trying to improve my limited game.)
Prize packs did get me a Sliver Hivelord and foil Stormtide Leviathan and foil Life's Legacy , so that was kind of nice.

Edit (because it'll annoy me otherwise.) Nope, didn't even open the Battlefield Forge , that was a prize pack too. I guess Scuttling Doom Engine might have some value, though? lol

Lifes legacy chord and I forgot the name but its the torpor orb bird

This is from the weekends (Midnight regular sealed, Saturday Regular Sealed, and a "Super Sealed" on Sunday) and this is after trades and everything.
1x Ajani Steadfast foil
2x Waste Not
2x Caves of Koilos (makes me have 6)
2x Phytotitan promo
1x Indulgent Tormentor promo
1x Liliana Vess
1x Dispeller's Capsule F
1x Faerie Mechanist F
1x Ardent Plea F
1x Hornet Queen F
1x Cruel Sadist
1x Siege Dragon
The Super Sealed was only for people who did the 2 previous events, and we paid $30 and got 2 prerelease packs, and had to build a 60 card deck with what we pulled. The reason we only paid $30 was a deal the owner had, Friday night was $25, if you did Friday Night and stayed the whole tournament then Saturday was $20, and if you did both days then Sunday was $15 and there was only 8 of us and there were like 25 prerelease packs left, so we made a Super Sealed format for the day. Had a pretty good crowd recpetion, might have to convince the shop owner to do it from now on at prerelease.

pulled a Sliver Hive , foil Leeching Sliver , 2 Shivan Reef , Necromancer's Stockpile , Battlefield Forge , Goblin Kaboomist , regular Chord of Calling , and a Soul of Ravnica

I didn't get anything crazy valuable, but the booster packs switched on a big blaring siren for the deck they were telling me to build:
2x Satyr Wayfinder
3x Necromancer's Assistant
1x Soul of Innistrad
1x Restock
1x Endless Obedience
1x Unmake the Graves
and several good/decent common and uncommon creatures in the two colors
I ended up 2nd place, with my only loss being in the first round against the guy who ended up winning the whole thing.

Lol, there was this kid there, that was totally obsessed with slivers, and traded a constricting sliver for a phyrexian Revoker... I felt bad, but he insisted...
July 14, 2014 3:33 p.m.
Me and two of my friends were all sitting together and we all pulled a Chandra, Pyromaster from our pre release box's, each in a row too. Then we did a second pre release, and one of my friends pulled 2 Chord of Calling in his pre release box, and my brother pulled 2 Ajani Steadfast in his. Then this dumb kid pulled a Garruk, Apex Predator , he doesn't even use sleeves... And this new player (this one actually uses sleeves) pulled a Nissa, Worldwaker . Out of the 10 of us in the tournament and sold it to the shop at half value afterwards (from the first tournament), like 12 Chord of Calling were pulled, it was crazy.

Nice, but it's a bit confusing...ya know, your wording...
July 15, 2014 12:47 a.m.
Weird, my cursor must have moved down while I was typing... Ignore the part where I said "and sold it to the shop at half value afterwards" that was supposed to be right after "pulled a Nissa, Worldwaker ". Final sentence should say "Out of the 10 of us in the tournament (from the first tournament), like 12 Chord of Calling were pulled, it was crazy."

I'm on a laptop, and sometimes the very edge of my hand will brush against the touchpad and then that happens.

Worst prereleases EVER!
1st (midnight)
Pulled Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient in the seeded pack. Then my five rares were Return to the Ranks , Indulgent Tormentor , Waste Not , Necromancer's Stockpile and Yavimaya Coast .
2nd (Sunday)
Puller Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient in seeded pack. Pulled another Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient in my first booster. The other four booster packs contained Stormtide Leviathan , Mercurial Pretender , Ob Nixilis, Unshackled and Obelisk of Urd .
My commons/uncommons were also both terrible in both prereleases. I went red both times, and only got 1 Lightning Strike and 0 Generator Servant each time.
My best cards were: 1 Nightfire Giant , 1 Xathrid Skyblade .
For midnight I went R/B/Artifact with 4 Scrapyard Mongrel and for Sunday I played a worse version of that deck, but just in R/B.
AWFUL! TERRIBLE! ANNOYING!
So many people had such good luck.

I pulled a Jace, the Living Guildpact , Chord of Calling , and Sliver Hive as my mentionables (only played midnight). Other people at my shop had more luck though. Some guy got a foil garruk and a regular ajani.
