I also can't sleep. I'm taking a train to Ostrava, Czechia from Poland to play. Of course I'm gonna do awful because fuck sleep apparently, but hey, I haven't played in ages. So let's do it. :)
Just went 3-0 in my Pre-Release! First time I've ever done that, so thank you Prof for making this video to help us! Also, the first guy I beat didn't want to collect paper and just gave me all of his Pre-Release cards AND I saw a friend I haven't seen in 10+ years. Best. Pre-Release. Ever.
My mom and I are going to day 2 of a local game shop's 3-day prerelease event today! It's our first time at an event like this. We got to see a bunch of other players playing and having fun last night. I managed to snag the last Fae Dominion deck the shop had and each of us got a set pack before we left.
I've only been to a single Magic event before, back in July of last year, which was a draft for the Baldur's Gate set, I believe? And this Sunday I'll be going to a sealed prerelease for this set and I'm excited but nervous! Getting to watch this video certainly is helpful, and I'll probably have to watch your other video on building a sealed deck, too!
One of the best prerelease to go to! The enchantment tale slot/pulls adds a fantastic element of suprise (and potential financial benefit) to any player! The colour spreads are fair and really close Came 2nd with rakdos rats, wild role tokens and a bit of fairy! Good luck every, have fun 🍀
I have about an hour to get ready for prerelease because I was busy and completely forgot to do my homework for this set. This video saved me. Thanks Prof!
Thanks a lot for the Guide. I played a kind of Grixis Midrange type of Deck at the Prerelease, and although I played 2-3, I had a lot of fun. Prerelease is and will propably always be one of my favourite Events when it comes to MtG, it's small scale, competetive but in a fun way and I get to meet new people. If you get the Chance, go to Prereleases, even though a lot of things about MtG changed in the last few years, I had as much fun today at the Wilds of Eldraine Prerelease as I had years ago at my first.
Going to my first event since TOE on Sunday! So stoked to have this primer though I do not care about my placement just excited to be playing IRL magic with strangers again
I watch these videos. Every time I go to a pre-release event, knowing the sign post UnCommons helps me so much with the deck building. I often end up in three colors, but knowing this makes it so much more fun.
Prof coming in smoking, hot with a wonderful and intuitive video. Love the all the help you push out for the experienced players, and especially for newer players like myself!
dude i love your videos, but something about inotation where you like emphasize some words makes it hard for me to watch, but honestly I think thats what makes everyone else enjoy it so much, either way fantastic content and thanks for always being there for the community
Sitting outside my LGS rn. They open in 30 minutes. Won't be able to play sealed, cuz work in 2 hours, but so excited for the cards. Returning to MTG after a 7-year hiatus 😊
Pre-Released yesterday and had a great time, though, like LOTR, my deck ended up never using the set mechanics. Still, using the 2R '+2/0' pump common won me a lot of games, swinging in with 3/1 tokens and menace/fly-ing bodies. I also played someone who opened 2 Bitter Blossoms & an Omniscience. Thanks for this.
When it comes to Enchanting Tales, I think Red (specially Rakdos) has the best for Limited. Goblin Bombardment, Raid Bombardment, Impact Tremors and Shared Animosity are both amazing for the Rat Synergy and low enough in rarity that it can be feasibly drafted
3:28 It always cracks me up how the initial digital reveal of the role tokens have swapped the artwork for "Cursed" and "Wicked". That is one evil looking frog.
Moonshaker Calvary seems like fun to put into a modern deck based around Mirror box, Multiple Mondrak Glory Dominus, and Multiple Myrel, Shield of Argive. With Altar of Phyrexia, and Just in case Altar of Dementia.
Candy Trail is my favourite common from this set, reminds me of Brainstone except it's Preordain and you get the scry on ETB, solid cantrip for limited!
Hi Prof. I saw that Forbidden Planet in the UK is offering pre-orders for the academic. Does this mean I can get excited about the deckbox being available in stores next year :))?
Awesome video. But I think you are wrong about the Adventures with Johann, Apprentice Sorcerer. The Gatherer mentions, that Adventures can be casted from the top of the library. @TolarianCummunityCollege
One thing got me confused, why is destroying tapped creature at instand speed considered bad in limited? Most people attack with their creatures don't they, and that just makes it an unconditional removal when they attack. I don't get why it would be considered bad.
Looking forward to tomorrow I can't get to understand Ashiok Anywyay. The static ability can't work here, so what's the line? Turn5 create the nightmares, and then get value by drawing? I mean it's good but, doesn't sound as bomb as say, that mythic dragon that lets you chain into a 4drop and immediately deal 6 in the air. Maybe it's just a slower yet very good card and I'm not good at evaluating it
On second thought, I understand that there's little pw removal, and at turn5 with 5 or 6 loyalty, it's very resilient. Still, it takes some time rather than outright close the game, right? Incremental value by drawing the extra card, maybe ending up decking the oppo, but I guess the point is, gumming up the board with the nightmares that can just grow and grow. I kinda see the point now, but still unexciting to me as a card/strategy
Hey Prof, great vid and a good opportunity to ask/suggest a future video. When making a 40 card deck, how do you cull it down to 40 cards. I've been playing sealed for years and this part still gives me and many newer players trouble. how do you work all the great cards you opened down to 23. knowing that each card more than that eats into the probability of hitting your bomb? how do you overcome the magical Christmas thinking of 3-for-1ing your opponent with this sick combat trick that synergizes with your deck so well, or just one more solid creature to fill your curve annndd that bit for a cheapy color fixer that you rationalize because it replaces itself. and so on until youve got 35 must haves, but dilute further to insure proper land ratios and boom, 56 card sealed deck.
I was gonna do this prerelease but my lgs is sold out for the prerelease even today and I won't be in the state for the next 3 days and all the other prerelease events they're doing are tomorrow and Saturday
Came back from my 1st prerelease yesterday and got rolled by faerie tribal since the deck contains nothing but flyers. its really hard to deal with. Especially since me opponent pull Talion The Kindly Lord as well. Most of my other matches went a lot better ending the day on a 2W/2L/0D
If someone could help! With Adventure Cards, when they go to the 'Adventure Exile Pile' and can be 'played at any time', do they then LEAVE the 'Exile' pile and go back onto the battlefield? If so, can you then do an Adventure again and it'll go back to the Adventure Exile Pile once more, and you can keep bouncing it back and forth between battlefield and 'Adventure Exile Pile'? Or does it permanently remain in the 'Adventure Exile Pile', but you can always cast the far-right hand page (each time for it's mana-cost using the top-right mana symbols) for the rest of the game and it remains in 'Adventure Exile Pile'?
I find myself continuing to play in these events despite not having a single enjoyable experience, I dunno if it's going in blind that's doing that to me or just that the format isn't for me but here we go again 😅
I can report back that this was the first time I actually felt confident in my builds and didn't just go 0-3! The guide actually came thru for me and ran Grixis rats to win 3-1 and scooped up 9 prize packs! Thanks Prof.!
i would properly try the new lgs for pre realse but they sold every commander masters edh precon for 183 dollars. so gonna respectfully go to another city and try and support that store instead
Wait what?! That's...that is not ok. Supporting an LGS is one thing but if that LGS is actively ripping off their community, I 100% support your decision to try another. I had one LGS (they are closed now) who's owner would constantly bug me every minute if I knew what I wanted when looking around and they were clearly annoyed I was "taking too long". Like geez, thanks for providing a welcoming atmosphere, it's not like some of us have social anxiety/decision paralysis
It's midnight for me right now and I can't wait for prerelease in the next few hours. All the best to those attending their own prerelease event!
Go the f#$% to sleep so you can wake up and shower.
I also can't sleep. I'm taking a train to Ostrava, Czechia from Poland to play. Of course I'm gonna do awful because fuck sleep apparently, but hey, I haven't played in ages. So let's do it. :)
I got damn lucky, spent about 35 - 38 dollars and got about 100 or more dollars in cards that I will play in almost all of my decks
Just went 3-0 in my Pre-Release! First time I've ever done that, so thank you Prof for making this video to help us!
Also, the first guy I beat didn't want to collect paper and just gave me all of his Pre-Release cards AND I saw a friend I haven't seen in 10+ years.
Best. Pre-Release. Ever.
What did you use? Rats or orzov?
@@prskyviews Dimir Control with Lord Skitter and Virtue of Persistence. I felt dirty.
My mom and I are going to day 2 of a local game shop's 3-day prerelease event today! It's our first time at an event like this. We got to see a bunch of other players playing and having fun last night. I managed to snag the last Fae Dominion deck the shop had and each of us got a set pack before we left.
Prof back at it again with a incredibly helpful video! Appreciate you TONS man! Thank you for all that you do!! 💕🙌
Glad you like them!
We love them!❤🎉
I've only been to a single Magic event before, back in July of last year, which was a draft for the Baldur's Gate set, I believe? And this Sunday I'll be going to a sealed prerelease for this set and I'm excited but nervous! Getting to watch this video certainly is helpful, and I'll probably have to watch your other video on building a sealed deck, too!
Have fun, welcome to the magic family.
Same exact thing for me. Went to a baldurs gate commander draft and now this as my first sealed.
Commander Player here going to my first ever pre-release tonight. This was perfect timing!
Never done a prerelease before but I think I’m gonna give it a shot this time. Sounds like a fun time to try out
Highly recomend. Hands down my favorite way to play and undeniably one of the best ways.
One of the best prerelease to go to!
The enchantment tale slot/pulls adds a fantastic element of suprise (and potential financial benefit) to any player!
The colour spreads are fair and really close
Came 2nd with rakdos rats, wild role tokens and a bit of fairy!
Good luck every, have fun 🍀
I have about an hour to get ready for prerelease because I was busy and completely forgot to do my homework for this set. This video saved me. Thanks Prof!
Thank goodness. The other channels just were not cutting it, and my prerelease is in just less than 4 hours!!
Thanks a lot for the Guide.
I played a kind of Grixis Midrange type of Deck at the Prerelease, and although I played 2-3, I had a lot of fun.
Prerelease is and will propably always be one of my favourite Events when it comes to MtG, it's small scale, competetive but in a fun way and I get to meet new people.
If you get the Chance, go to Prereleases, even though a lot of things about MtG changed in the last few years, I had as much fun today at the Wilds of Eldraine Prerelease as I had years ago at my first.
Thank you for pointing out where the mechanics first came from! DMU had such a limited number of Stun Counters, so I'm glad they're back here.
Thank you for putting this video out. I'm excited for prerelease but wasn't sure what to expect from this set specifically
Got a prerelease in 18.5 hours. Cant wait. Got a set box of the set and im definitely not disappointed. Thanks for the guide
Heading to prerelease now! Thanks for the primer!
I hope u do this for every set, really nice to watch right before my event. Wish me luck prof!
Thanks for the video, this will be my son's first prerelease. We're both very excited!
Going to my first event since TOE on Sunday! So stoked to have this primer though I do not care about my placement just excited to be playing IRL magic with strangers again
14:49 one of my favorite jokes from the classic Simpsons era.
I watch these videos. Every time I go to a pre-release event, knowing the sign post UnCommons helps me so much with the deck building. I often end up in three colors, but knowing this makes it so much more fun.
I’ve been looking forward to this video and I’m just a few hours away from my pod! Thanks Prof
My prerelease is in one hour, u are right on time !
good luck!
Lol
Thanks to your Izzet section I just realized I can use adventure cards in my Eruth, Tormented Prophet deck. Nice.
Prof coming in smoking, hot with a wonderful and intuitive video. Love the all the help you push out for the experienced players, and especially for newer players like myself!
dude i love your videos, but something about inotation where you like emphasize some words makes it hard for me to watch, but honestly I think thats what makes everyone else enjoy it so much, either way fantastic content and thanks for always being there for the community
Love how the editors didn't put the links where you pointed. Maybe it was unintentional but it seems like you have a fun work environment from here!!
Your video was super helpful (as always)! Glad this was posted quick!
Watching this on the bus on my way to my lgs for prerelease! Thanks for the guide, Professor!
I would suggest to combine gruul and simic when drafting. The goal are basically the same and there plenty green fixing.
Thank you,Proff. You explain so clearly
Right on time! I still have about 20 minutes left before leaving for the prerelease :)
Sitting outside my LGS rn. They open in 30 minutes. Won't be able to play sealed, cuz work in 2 hours, but so excited for the cards. Returning to MTG after a 7-year hiatus 😊
Playing off and on since 1994. Never been to a pre release just buy them after. But I’m going to this one ☝️
They're some of my favorite events! Have a ton of fun
Pre-Released yesterday and had a great time, though, like LOTR, my deck ended up never using the set mechanics.

Excellent video and useful knowledge as always, Prof!
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME PLAYING LIMITED IT WAS SO MUCH FUN
I can't wait to get my pre-release kits so I can have a draft. Thank you for the video Professor.
Another solidly useful and delightful video, Professor. Thanks!
Won my prerelease!! Goose Mother FTW!!!!! She was my MVP!!
Going to my first event today! Very excited!!
3:28 It always cracks me up how the initial digital reveal of the role tokens have swapped the artwork for "Cursed" and "Wicked".
That is one evil looking frog.
Looks like a fun set to draft with 👌 Thanks Prof
Going to my first prerelease tonight!!!!
Moonshaker Calvary seems like fun to put into a modern deck based around Mirror box, Multiple Mondrak Glory Dominus, and Multiple Myrel, Shield of Argive. With Altar of Phyrexia, and Just in case Altar of Dementia.
This is going to be my first prerelease ever after playing at my friends house for a few weeks. Cant wait to try!
Candy Trail is my favourite common from this set, reminds me of Brainstone except it's Preordain and you get the scry on ETB, solid cantrip for limited!
Looking forward to Prerelease!
Doing my first Prerelease since Zendikar tomorrow. Let's goooo!
Thanks! Stoked for the games tonight
Great overview as always.
I won my local prerelease ! Thanks prof!
i did the prerelease today and got the Goose Mother, Beseech the Mirror, and Songs of Totentanz
I had to work😢 I missed the FNM prerelease. Still thank you. I don’t like draft but I do want to try this one.
Heck yeah this is the just guide I needed I haven't played in a tournament since battle for zendikar can't wait for this prerelease Thanks Prof!
0/4 for you, wahahaha
that celebration horn is hilarious
It seems to me that the Wicked and Cursed role artwork are switched, how can a frog be so cruel and evil?
Heading to the shop. Let's do this!
Hi Prof. I saw that Forbidden Planet in the UK is offering pre-orders for the academic. Does this mean I can get excited about the deckbox being available in stores next year :))?
Drafting pre release kits with the homies via spelltable this weekend!
i love how the set's acronym is WOE
Right on time
I thought that this set was going to be Universes Beyond: Disney
Thanks for clearing up the confusion
Im waitnig for your review of the commander deck being sold at the secret lair site. Hope you make one before the thing leaves.
So excited for my first prerelease tomorrow
Awesome video. But I think you are wrong about the Adventures with Johann, Apprentice Sorcerer. The Gatherer mentions, that Adventures can be casted from the top of the library. @TolarianCummunityCollege
My first sealed event tomorrow!
This will be my best first prerelease tournament I'm trying. Thank you for the video.
10:35 -- "Ruby, Daring Tracker ... a hasty mana dork?" Did I hear that correctly?
THANK YOU PROFSSER!!!
Small note, stun counters were introduced in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, not Dominaria United.
Which card?
@@benhensley3621 I was mistaken, they were on the Invasion of Kamigawa card, that's why I thought it was from that set.
Great vid. Have a two headed prerelease tomorrow. Can I put a second role on my partners creatures?
Yup, each player can control upto one role attached to a single creature
Very informative thank you
Can’t wait for pre-release 🎉
One thing got me confused, why is destroying tapped creature at instand speed considered bad in limited? Most people attack with their creatures don't they, and that just makes it an unconditional removal when they attack. I don't get why it would be considered bad.
Pronounced yo-hon and greh-tuh. Great video, thanks!
Thanks Broski!! ❤
Looking forward to tomorrow

Went in blind to prerelease. Went 3/0 with black & green. Got the mythic turtle and the black Virtue.
If someone could help!

Thank you very much for this video
Won my local pre release with Boros invitation 🎉🎉
I love Limited, it's always a different game each draft.
I can’t wait to make a ratdos ratgro deck
I would go to pre-release tonight, but got a birthday party to go to, and the LGS I go to is probably canceling theirs because they got burgled.
Can we get some content for the commander players?
Seems like green and white will be worth splashing either red or black
New standard format, let’s go
I find myself continuing to play in these events despite not having a single enjoyable experience, I dunno if it's going in blind that's doing that to me or just that the format isn't for me but here we go again 😅
i can only recommend reading up on limited deckbuilding in general, like manacurve and creature/non creature ratio, helped me a ton :)
I can report back that this was the first time I actually felt confident in my builds and didn't just go 0-3! The guide actually came thru for me and ran Grixis rats to win 3-1 and scooped up 9 prize packs! Thanks Prof.!

Went to a prerelease a few hours ago here in Asia. Missed this.
How did it go??
Wooooo I love kicker plus
Thanks prof
LOVING IT ! 🤘🦁🤘
