Actually won a pre-release for once in stead of cocking everything up at some point!
Went with blue, today, and opened Keranos in one of my packs. Ended up playing UR Midrange because of it, and while Keranos obliterated my opponents in the 3 games I drew him, the MVP was surprisingly Bladetusk Boar. Red's not generally very good in sealed, so he was often just my 4 mana 3/2 unblockable racing machine. Got 11 packs for winning, which included another Keranos, a Kruphix and Prophetic Flamespeaker. I will say, that my 7 mana cards (Scourge of Fleets and Hypnotic Siren) were literally blanks all day. I somehow never hit 7 mana even in the longer games, and when I did they were nowhere to be seen. I cast Hypnotic Siren once, as a 1/1 flier on turn 5, since I was stuck on 4 lands anyway and needed to keep a race going.
Last night, at the midnight prerelease, I went with Green after my teammate picked White. I'm going to say now that I took green because I wanted to do something stupid with loads of colours. Ended up virtually mono-green, splashing for black removal. My deck was boring unless I could draw at least one of my two Eidolon of Blossoms, but they very promptly died whenever I did. We went 2-1-1, which was alright and got 2 packs each from which I pulled nothing.
