It was such an awesome day. First off, my Rare pulls:
Aurelia's Fury
Prime Speaker Zegana
Sepulchral Primordial
Simic Manipulator
Stomping Ground
Gruul Ragebeast
Pretty damn fine, right?
The deck was:
1x Prime Speaker Zegana
1x Fathom Mage
2x Drakewing Krasis
2x Frilled Oculus
2x Clinging Anemones
2x Ninbus Swimmer
1x Adaptive Snapjaw
1x Scab-Clan Charger
1x Simic Manipulator
2x Pit Fight
1x Naturalize
1x Totally Lost
1x Hydroform
1x Rapid Hybridzation
1x Sapphire Drake
1x Wildwood Rebirth
1x Shambleshark
1x Burning-Tree Emissary
2x Simic Guildgate
7x Island
8x Forest
I went 3-1-1. I was 3-1 then my opponent for the 5th round and I agreed on a draw so we both would go to the top 8. I played against 3 Dimir and 1 Orzhov.
I lost the first round due to overwhelming from Nightveil Specter on the first game and Consuming Aberration on the second game (Abberration was the best guild promo in the pre release, by miles). Then I won against Dimir with a magnificent Rapid Hybridzation on my own Anemones, then I defeated Orzhov due to Frilled Oculus beatdown and then for a very well timed Totally Lost, then I won against Dimir for being able to control the game better.
On the top 8 I faced Boros. I don't even need to saw how quickly I lost, right? There's no way to beat Boros in this pre release, especially if they have Aurelia and the Charm (and that guy had both).
So, as a prize for reaching the top 8, I got 2 boosters! Rares were Signal the Clans and Rubblebelt Raiders.
Pros:
>First Pre Release ever
>f****** awesome pulls
>Lost only 2 matches, one of which was unwinnable anyway
>Defeated Orzhov with SIMIC
Cons:
>Aurelia for the most broken guild leader in the entirety of the limited format
>Nightveil Specter stealing your lands isn't a good feeling at all
>Not having pulled a SINGLE 1-drop for Simic
>Not getting any Guildmage/Charm
