I want to attend a midnight event at one game store and an afternoon event at another. Is that ok?

No, not allowed. You'll be arrested by the magic police.

As long as you can physically get there, yeah. There's no limit as to how many events you can attend as far as I know.

Kidding. Yeah, of course. Go to as many as you want!

Yea for sure you can. Hell you can do upwards of 6 at one LGS. I'll probably get 2-3 in myself I'm hoping

You don't even need to go to a different store if that was your reasoning for that. Go to as many as you want, although I doubt if you go to the midnight one you'll want to go to the one right after(at least from my experience). Seeing as all the cards are spoiled already, the only "advantage" you gain over people going to just 1 is you have some idea of what is in the seeded pack if you decide to pick the same box.

You get a better idea of how the set plays and get to see which decks do well.

Yea I think the prereleases are a really good for preparing for limited throughout the new set

I suppose, but it really depends on pulls and how skilled and familiar the opponents are with the set. When I went to the JIN prerelease, I was probably like 1 of 3 people that picked the blue box with pretty much everyone going black or white. Only lost once though since everyone was so set on heroic and constellation that something simple like Azorius flyers wiped the floor with a lot of people. Helps when you pull a Godsend, but still, a lot of the people I played tried to shoehorn a ton of strive cards+heroics into their deck and ended up never really having the mana to strive more than once and by then they were too far behind.

So it sounds there like you won with skill through superior knowledge of how to construct a sealed deck effectively.

Not luck at all.

No, not the magic police!

Thank you. The reason I asked about multiple is because I'm lucky enough to have 4 LGS in my area and I wanted to both support multiple as well as taking advantage of some additional pre-release promotions

Guys! I don't think ChiefBell is kidding! Look at this!

This is the first letter of each word in:

"No, not allowed. You'll be arrested by the magic police."

10 letters. You know what also has 10 letters? That's right!

I can assure you, NorthernRaven, that we are not involved with the magic police.

Now, the magick police, on the other hand...

One store I know of had back-to-back-to-back Sat 12:01 AM prereleases up in the Magic wastelands in my college town area for M15. By the time I showed up on Sunday (getting away from wife's & my friend's toddlers for a bit) they only had a few prerelease boxes left (lots of blue, though.)
