I still read it because it's in my subscribed threads, but my level of caring dropped significantly after the Innistrad block. I pretty much got back intot he game for that block and then wandered off again.

Keep in mind we also don't know what the frequency of shocklands will be. Could be worth the sealed price if you have decent odds of pulling two. Of course that will drop their value, but they'll always be good for something.

I am liking the set myself actually, other then the fact that R&D for Magic seems to hate Golgari since the Mythic rares they make for it go against the guild power. The Simic one they showed from this block does look like it should be more of a Seleysnia card but it can work for Simic if you have it copy an evolve creature with weird stats 1/4 or something like that). Can use it to evolve each other up to 4/8's and what not etc. The Golgari Enchantment is used to get cards back from your graveyard, more specifically creatures back onto the battlefield...except Golgari exiles creatures to get +1/+1 counters. Just like how Jarad from Ravnica got stat bump based on number of creatures in your graveyard...

I am willing to bet that the shock lands will be the same which is around 3 per box. Either way, both lands are good for sealed.

I would like to see the dynamic of how it will change sealed events and drafting.

I am happy to see some cards to throw in my EDH decks that are commons! Woo!

Prerelease in a few hours. Since I am moving this weekend I am going to the Saturday one at 11am, playing Azorious hoping honestly to get Orzhov as my ally.

Good luck!

I think I will go in this order...
Azorius
Golgari
Izzet
Simic

Chose Orzhov, got Azorius as an ally. 11 or 14 outtah 17 I think.

I played in 2 events yesterday. I stayed true to my guilds that I was given as those were the best options

Rakdos/Orzhov

Azorius/Boros

Going to the Theros Pre-release tomorrow. Playing in 2 events. I am not informed about the whole theme and purpose of the prerelease, I just like to get out and play sealed and get the promo card which I can usually always use in my EDH deck.
