I'm going to play in a Magic Prerelease event on Thursday for the new set, "Murders at Karlov Manor." I love detective fiction and the theme pulled me in! (I laughed out loud at "Case of the Gateway Express.")
It's been years since I've played at all, so I'm a bit nervous... but I've reviewed the mechanics and I think the sealed deck format will help me avoid any drafting mistakes.
If you went to an MKM Prerelease, any advice? What surprised you about the format?
@tailsy I played one last week and played a BRG list featuring Incinerator of the Guilty, but saw I could have built a RW deck as well. One thing I noticed was that I got a lot of multicolour cards in my pool and I would recommend considering those last unless you get something that really makes you want to play those colours.
Otherwise, your preparation is plenty! Go in, see what looks fun to you and jam some games!
@tailsy I played a 2v2 sealed event and had a blast!
Two things that I found important for this limited environment:
1/ disguised creatures (face down) are 2/2 and numerous, so having a 3/3 or a 2/4 is a big deal.
2/ a concept that was brought from the time of the morph ability: to flip a creature with stats that would eat an opposing 2/2 creature without dying, the mana cost is always at least 5. So if your opponent has less than 5 mana open, worst could happen is that the creatures trade.
