0-2, 0-2, 1-2

Promo was Oath of Ajani. Only decent card was Herald of Anguish and Metalwork Colossus. I tried to make U/B Improvise deck since I had jackshit for removal, even in other color.

Went 2-2 with BR aggro/beat down. Was the first prerelease in a while where I went without my friends. Kinda didn't want to go but I had already pre-registered for it. Could have probably made a better deck but w/e at least I pulled a tezzeret. Highlight of the night was when I almost lost to a person playing mtg for the first time. He played pretty well for a starter.

>tfw you see people playing money cards unsleeved

RIP heart of kiran

I went to a total of three prereleases. One midnight, 11 AM Saturday, and 3 PM Sunday.

For the Midnight one, I did alright, going 2-1, 2-0, 0-2. Promo was Release the Gremlins, and the deck was R/B aggro. Best pull from the night was the Extraplanar Lens masterpiece.

11 AM went amazingly. Promo Rishkar, very strong support for +1/+1 green, splashed blue for the pirate, and black for Fatal Push. Went 2-0, 2-0, 2-1. At that event I was one of two people who pulled a masterpiece, and both were Ornithopters.

Sunday went worst, ended up with 0-2, 2-0, 1-2, 2-0. Promo Consultate Crackdown, which didn't end up in the deck. U/B control, splash red for Shocks and Dark Intimations, which went nicely with Tezzeret. Did not get a masterpiece with that one, but 2/3 ain't bad.

>>51231361
Went 2-3 with Boros Vehicles. Pretty much my only choice since my rares were Sram, Depala, and Peacewalker Colossus. Didn't really have the uncommon/removal support I wanted but everything else sucked. The rounds I won i went 2-0. Had an old timer help me edit my deck and realized it was good but I had no idea how to pilot it. Did get a t5 kill once though. That was cool. also got into a shit ton of trouble for buying a $2 card off a kid cuz he had no trades but I wanted that card. Wanted his promo Yahenni, gave him a $2 bill for it. Overall 4/10. Only thing that was cool was 1/5 of the people in the pod were good friends of mine and my bro made tacos and brought them to the shop.

Yesterday prerelease sucked for me, but today I went 0-2 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 with a blue-black deck. Ran Saheeli's artistry with multi form wonder. Also the 2/3 lifelink deathtouch was super strong.

But my brother opened an engineered explosives yesterday, which was still the highlight for me.

Hate that shit but I've done it once. The person I was playing had the most retarded combo. It was 5 a.m. and they were treating my like a baby who didn't know how magic worked. I ended up packing higher than they did.

Went 4-0. Had a sweet pool, nothing of money or noteworthy. Just some uncommon bombs.
The prize packs were especially choice though. Ran pic related. Prize pool notables are to the right. Matches were especially fast and I got to spend most of the day bullshiting and looking at other people's sweet decks.

Got both Dovin Baan and Ajani, should have stomped but went 1-2-1 instead because I'm a scrub. Oh well. Got a Greenbelt Rampager as well, which is cool I guess. Saving my 2 prize packs for future drafting.

Decided I'm going to break into standard by trading into a green ramp/counters deck, Rishkar makes me hard

>pull the planar bridge and meekstone masterpieces

It was pretty alright, I was not prepared for 2hg meta and my friend and I wiped HARD, but honestly these masterpieces make it worth it.

>>51232808
I was playing along with the situation too and didn't get upset/aggressive with him. Did try to nudge him towards moving the game state along but just troddled about like an old turtle.

When he asked if we should go to game 2 i restated a bit louder and more annoyed that there was only 2 minutes left.

Not easy to remain cool when you win 0 games all day.
Wasn't even salty or mad just tired spent and ready to go home.
Forgot dice at event but thankfully owner picked them up for me and ill just get them after.

>>51233159
Standard is a money trap.
Don't do it unless you pay next to nil for it, trades included.

If you build your own deck you will be told its bad regardless what you build and that you must buy a netdeck in order to win (which are like 3-500$)
Even then the money cards you do own will fluctuate greatly from day to day and you will once again be told to switch to the new net deck which requires cards you don't own.

At the end of it all once the sets rotate out the leaving set will turn to nickels and dimes before your very eyes.

My suggestion would be play edh if casual, play modern if hardcore.

I spent like 600 on standard last year before realizing it is a joke format.

Went 2-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-0. The third match was against my friend and if he didn't do several dumb mistakes in a row, he would have won 2-0.
My promo was Aethersphere Harvester. I drew another one. Turns out 12 lifeswing on flying creatures which dodge sorcery speed removal is pretty good.
The entire prerelease nobody opened a masterpiece. I also didn't open a single mythic in both the event and the prize packs.

What's with the increading value of Herald of Anguish?

2-1, 2-0, 1-2

I left before the final round. The salt that the guy in round three had was palpable. Apparently he hadn't lost at all, so when I pulled a lead in game one he started going off abuot his land, his deck, his hand, anything to not accept the fault. He kept trying to pull back when I tapped down his creatures to crew and I must have said "YOU CAN'T CREW THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU LEFT ME TAP THE OTHER CREATURE THREE MINUTES AGO" a half dozen times. He kept trying to sneak uncrewed vehicles through for attack like I wouldn't notice. Every opening hand was the exact same. He sideboarded specific hate. When going through my own cards after, I realized he had underpayed for at least three spells.

After I stalled out in game 3 his literal words were "I guess my deck is pretty strong," with a "Dude, shut up, you were bitching while you were winning" as my response.

I've played a lot of salty guys at prerelease, but they're normally so spergy I just move on, but this fucking guy was the biggest piece of shit. He even made some salty shit about how my UG jank was "The only deck I've faced that had a chance."

Either way, I won two packs so fuck it.

2-0, 2-1, 2-1, 2-0, 1-2
Had the store I been at done a 4-game tourney instead of a 5 I would've placed 8th but because of the last game I got 9th instead. I was just running WRG creatures and removal, with some revolt shenanigans thrown into it. It was not supposed to be a very good deck and yet it went 4-1(I guess that's just how it goes in limited).

During the last match of the night the dude I played against was super fuckin' serious, although I was a little too because this would be the first time I top-8 ever in my history of playing. Won the first game, afterwards he sideboarded and whispered something to his buddy who then proceeded to stand almost right behind me the entire next two games. Saw him make hand gestures every now and then, make eye contact with each other every couple minutes or so, and I didn't think about it until halfway home when I realized that they either thought I was cheating for getting good pulls and/or he was just using his butt buddy to look at my hand for removal.
Spent the rest of my night kicking myself in the ass for not calling it out. I got good cards though, so worth it imho.

1-1 2-0 2-0 2-0 Got 1st & took home 11 prize packs

Played BGu with only Trophy Mage & Rogue Refiner in blue. It was a lot of fun!

>>51234873
Highlights include using a fight spell with my deathtouch creature, coming back from 1 life for a win vs WB fabricate, and absolutely out-valuing and out-trading everyone I faced.

Low point was definitely the first match going to turns for a draw then having my opponent immediately drop to give his next match 2-0 for free.

2-0, 1-2, 2-0 and 1-2

Forgot to to ping with walking ballista in response to it getting removed in match 2, game 3 and didn't sacrifice my bomb in response to it getting taken control over in match 4 game 2, severe misplays right there.

Reposting cause why not. Went 2-3 with it, not winning anything. Gearhulk came out a lot, but didn't do much except for putting out 9 dmg twice.

One time he can into deathtouch+indestructible. The other time my opponent casted the green expertise with a 7/7 on the field and the green gearhulk with it. Best match that evening, we basically tried to outgrow each other, but I lost in the end.

I went 2-2-1 with red/green/black "aggro". Tie was very frustrating, because the guy spent forever taking his turns. Won the first match against him, lost the second with just over a minute time left. He had two of those "2,T: tap target artifact/creature" shits in play in both games, absolutely frustrating.

Still, 1 prize booster, of which you see the results on my keyboard. The rest are my pulls, minus one exquisite archangel which I sold to store owner. Scroll Rack though, so I'm satisfied.

>>51231361
First pre-release went 2-0, 0-2, 1-1 and I don't remember one game. Got Dovin Baan with good effect, even manage to ultimate him once thank to that blue flyer (my opponent then started his turn, looked at his board "next game?")

Second was a two-headed troll pre-release (yeah, they do that where I am) and we somehow ended up first (though apparently we should have been ex-æquo). Went white-red while my partner went blue-black for tezzeret (who was never drawn).

Pulled: an herald, Dovin Baan, Yehenni and his expertise, Baral expertise, a mimic, industry tower, the green revolt enchant, inspiring statuary, a ballista, two etherian lords (aren't promo cards great?) and a panharmonicus.

my pulls, the common card in there was my MVP
also got 2nd box but too lazy to post pulls

>>51231361
All my cards that were a little good were in my Kaladesh pack, and they were pretty much all the same cards I got at my Kaladesh prerelease.
I literally built a U/B artifact deck that had the exact same keypieces as my Kaladesh prerelease deck.
Even went 2-0, 2-1, 0-2 and 2-0, same as my Kaladesh prerelease.

Did pull a masterpiece chalice of the void out of my reward decks, so all in all whike weird, it was pretty sweet.

>>51238521
ps.
went 3-1 with GB but still didn't get anything.
overall kinda sad.

>>51238547
Oh, I forgot, highlight of the night: I made someone throw his deck through the store. Dude was forced to leave afterwards, it was hilarious.

What happened was that we had some really close games (and we pretty much went to time in our last one, only 2 turns left before it was declared a draw). He won the first match, but the second one took ages, with me eventually winning by using the only counterspell in my deck to counter his removal for my skysovereign.

He was already really salty about it in the next match, complaining about topdecks (had the card in my hand for two turns, but he wouldn't believe me), cheap pulls and that blue was OP.

But the last straw was when we only had 2 turns left before having to hand in the slip, and he would definitely win (he had 2 dramatic reversals in hand, and would have won in the final turn), but then I topdecked the mind rot I put in my deck for shits and giggles, and with a shit-eating grin I made him discard his only 2 cards in hand, attacking for the win (all his creatures were tapped).

He got so fucking mad he threw his deck. He was yelling about what kind of fucking retard would play mind rot at a prerelease, especially when you only have one. At least he never cheated though, so I guess that's respectable.

>>51231361
Huh, those pulls would actually be pretty fantastic if you had the right UR support, but that's pretty unlikely since Limited doesn't support non-creature decks very well.

Do you think any Aether Revolt cards will hold value past standard? cards seem cool but not modern (or any other format) -worthy

>>51238965
Not great value, but fatal push will be staple removal in modern.

I didn't open anything good, besides the 5/5 angel, had no removal except for 2 Shocks and 1 Harvested Lightning, so I splashed for them. Went 2-2, won 2 packs it was 1 pack per victory and there were only 8 people. I didn't really have fun because my deck was seriously bad.
I'm glad my dad paid for me to play, because what I opened isn't worth shit

Went 4-0 with this

Very close games almost every single time. I think I won at least 6 of my games at sup 5 health and k own that I won at least three of them sitting on 1 hp.

Got an Ajani, Dovin Bann, two Excuisite Angel's, an Aether Basker, and a handful of a few good Rares like disallow out of the 12 or so bonus packs.

I felt pretty good since when I first saw my pool I did not feel good about it

Played and judged three prereleases. Went 2-3 on midnight, 2-2 on Saturday and 2-1-1 on Sunday 2HG.
The question asked the most was Scrounging Bandar + vehicles.

>>51245244
What was asked about scrounging bandar?

I personally got into a discussion where a guy wanted to react on me moving the counters during my upkeep by using the -2/-2 + scry 1 card. Judge ruled in my favour that it dies, but a counter moved. (I wanted to move just one)

>>51245244
was the question about putting counters on the vehicles or if the bandar could crew them?

>>51245313
>>51245332
"Can I crew my vehicle in response to the Bandar trigger and put the counters on the vehicle?"

Usually, the answer is no. Targets have to be declared when the ability is put on the stack and by then the vehicle is not yet a creature.

>>51245313
Your judge is stupid. You can't move the counter if the Bandar is dead.

>>51245445
There was a big discussion about this, but he looked it up. I'll move it to ask a judge.

>>51245491
>>51245313
When the ability resolves the counter actually has to be there to be moved.

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/aether-revolt-release-notes-2017-01-06

>>51245244
You're a judge? Because if you don't mind, I have a few questions.

I was planning to build a Merieke Ri Berit deck, but I'm confused about some of the interactions.

From what I understand, it's possible to untap MBR in response to the steal abikity going on the stack, and to then tap her again to steal multiple creatures at once. I was wondering why this worked though. Normally you declare a target when you activate an ability or cast a spell. MBR says that if she untaps, "destroy that creature". Wouldn't that mean that the creature is destroyed before it comes under your control, since the delayed trigger doesn't require the creature to already be under your control? Also, if you can take control of any number of creatures in this way, what's the reason that all of them are destroyed if she untaps?

Second question, if you tap MBR to steal a creature, and then blink her in response to the ability (say, with a deadeye navigator), do you still get the creature? And if so, is it then destroyed if you untap MBR afterwards, or is it permanently under your control since it's a " different" MBR now?

>>51231682
Me too mayne.

Fucking Oath

>>51245871
The steal ability and the "when Merieke becomes untapped" is one ability. It will not trigger when she becomes untapped before the activated ability has not resolved yet.

Since the ability is "Gain control of target creature FOR AS LONG as you control Merieke Ri Berit." there will never be a point in time when you will control the target creature when you blink her with the ability on the stack since Merieke coming back will be considered an all new and refreshed Merieke.

>>51244257
If we're getting sick ass promo cards with each set then the next Innistrad block should have a Blood Moon.

>>51246113
I think "Innistrad Monsters" would be the most likely masterpiece series.

>>51245995
So if you blink her, the creature never comes under your control? That's useful to know, guess I'm gonna give another deck a blink subtheme then.

>>51246349
Yep. Save the blink subtheme for Brago, my dude.

>>51245995
Last question, since MBR says to destroy the creature, and not to sacrifice it, if you give the controlled creature indestructible and then untap her, does it stay under your control? And more importantly, will the ability try to destroy that creature again when MBR untaps again, or do you permanently control that creature then?

>>51246429
If the creature becomes indestructible, you will get to keep it. But the untap triggered ability will always try to destroy every creature Merieke gained control of. So use your That Which Was Taken divinity counters for fun things.

>>51246495
>Answers my questions
>Gives me spicy tech afterwards
Gentleman and a scholar, although I'm a little scared of putting a divinity counter on a controlled creature only to have someone wipe the board afterwards.

>>51246737
Yeah, Merieke is usually better when just destroying the creatures. But deep in my heart I still want That Which Was Taken to be somewhat useful in a deck.

Slow play like that is a cheating disqualification. Call a judge next time.

>>51248287
It's just that he's such a regular and I'm fairly new to both the game and the store, just didn't feel good enough to make the call. He's also one of those weird guys that's normally super friendly but if he starts losing he can very quickly turn to blind autistic rage.

Went 4-2 with G/R aggro, didn't make top 8 tho cuz first game I tried janky ass G/U/b/r to splash removal and planeswalker, had 5 ways to mana fix.

Red was nothing special besides Scrapper champion. Green was MVP tho, so many counters. Didn't get to run any rares in the deck but oh well.

Promo was Baral, CoC. Pulled Tezzeret planeswalker, Spire of Industry, and Baral's Expertise.

>>51249430
Also round one, game one, got ran over by Renegade Freighter enchanted by Siege Modification turn 4. Wasn't even mad, witnessed the dream.

Out of all of the reasons you could have used for standard being shit you use the most retarded one

>>51238802
So was the guy just too big of a retard to cast a reversal in response to the mind rot?

>>51249692
Yes, I pointed it out after he scooped, that's what made him throw the deck.

I would've played RG

Many so many people got masterpieces, I thought they were supposed to be really rare.

>>51251056
Prerelease packs and fat packs usually don't go with the standard booster box rarity count.

>>51249966
>>51250073
I would've built WR including that Renegade Freighter, Treasure Keeper and maybe Foundry Inspector

>>51250734
I don't think there are enough green creatures that are worthy

I pulled something worth $7 and something worth $5. The rest were fairly average with a few worth over a dollar but just barely.

Is that a normal pull for a prerelease if you don't get lucky?

Got a good RG tempo pool, but no noteworthy pulls. Went 3-1, took second only to the shop veteran after mana screw in game three. I managed to take a game off of him though, so I'm satisfied. Pulled a Tezzeret in the prize packs and traded some other stuff for a promo white aura dwarf guy, so I guess that's neat.

Got 5th place in my local store and got 3 packs as prize.

Got a masterpiece Ensnaring Bridge out of 1 of them

How many of you DIDN'T run green?

>>51256041
I ran BW at prerelease.

2-1, 3-0, 2-1, 3-0, 0-2.

Pretty fucking satisfied. Went green-black every time, splashing white (because I pulled Ajani) the third time. The most memorable moment was boosting Yahenni to an 8/8, then using Rishkar's Expertise, drawing 8 cards and playing Aetherborn Marauder.

Absolutely nuts. I feel sorry for anyone who wasn't playing GB.

>>51253971
Sounds pretty average too me. Pulled foil Rishkar myself and am pretty satisfied with that already. Could be a lot worse.

>>51256041
The people who lost.

>>51256341
Our 1st place was RB aggro.

>>51256385
Okay, that's fair, black is almost as good as green in this set.

Hardmode: Name a deck that won without playing black or green

>>51256041
I went 4- 2 with RU tempo featuring 2 Kari Zev and about 10 pieces of bounce/removal.

Lost out on prizes due to tie breakers, though.

>>51256397
I'm >>51256125
I was 2nd place and lost the last round to a WR aggro deck. Swarmed by 2 and 3 drops with a bunch of burns targeted at my creature.

5-0

Took first place with WR vehicles, went home and cracked my packs and realized I didn't receive a single foil in 22 packs.

>>51256611
That sucks, dude. At least you weren't the guy who pulled a foil Smuggler's Copter.

Went 2-1 twice. Pulled no mythics and no foiles. Sick tech of the night the red expertise plus wrangle. Wins games

No pics, but

>Pool 1 (2-2): Foil Nissa, Vital Force ; Winding Constrictor. Went BG 1/1 counters, which is really strong in limited, but drew poorly in most rounds.

>Pool 2 (1-3): Masterpiece Aether Vial; Battle at the Bridge, went RB Improvise. Aether Vial is less good when you don't RTFC and realize it's a 'may' trigger on upkeep.

>Pool 3 (3-2): Yahenni, Undying Partisan ; Herald of Anguish. Went BR improvise again, did a bit better this time.

Your pool was kinda shit, you could have had a jeskai control style deck going there if you wanted to have fun, but manascrew would probably have fucked yoou at least one a match

RW seems to be your only consistent two color combo, two restoration gearsmith's are kind of good.
