How did you all get on at your prereleases?

Looks to be a synergy set as despite opening Lumara, Maha, and almost one of each of the reanination spells in the set I went 2:1. =ł ah well.

Matched up against a fun deck blinking Head of the Homestead with the token class enchantment. Luckily it doesn’t do well against Vren the Relentless.
On the other hand it turns out that Azure Beastbinder is a top tier threat, and synergy can beat power.

Still I can’t complain about opening chase cards. What about all of you? Any fun interactions or moments from your prerelease?

    Ended up with blue-green frogs, primarily. My prerelease box didn’t really get many of any one creature type, but frogs was closest and the other cards I had in blue green made it reasonable. I didn’t really bounce much using the frogs but they reduced the cost of my two polliwallops enough to give me the edge in most of my matches. Went 2-1-0.

    Takeaways:

    • Seems like a lot of decks make it to 6+ mana reliably in this set
    • Lots of synergy in creature type so if you don’t get many of the same type, you need to get creative with deck builds
    • Pawpatch Recruit is really good value for 3 mana and makes it really annoying for your opponent to play around
    • Treeguard Duo is awesome
    • Spellgyre is expensive for a counter but holding a counterspell and then surveil 2 draw 2 is very nice.

      Nice details, and good to see frogs doing well. I too saw Treeguard Duo putting in a lot of work, even outside of frogs.

      Its probably the archetype I’m most excited to try along with lizards and bats.
