I ended up doing two pre-releases this past weekend, one at Boldo's while the other was at Millenium.

I woke up and played with the dogs only to tire them out earlier than expected so I headed over to Boldo's early only to see the place start getting packed.  In the end there were 50 people there along with my two friends Sal and Alex.  I was one of the first 8 or so names so I was able to choose my guild.  Typically I do not care which guild to be apart of, this was no different.  Since I was called I had to pick so I ended up opting for Orzhov over Simic (for the color dice) or Dimir (for the hype I hear about it).

I opened all 6 packs with nothing terribly great.  I did not open up any of the hyped cards nor any of the shock lands to my dismay.  A few packs had rares in Orzhov so in the end I opted to play Orzhov, unlike the Ravnica pre-release where I ended up playing all colors but my guild.  I splashed blue in with my white and black since there were some decent removal cards in blue.  Green and Red had few playable cards I felt despite loving the new mechanic Bloodrush!  In the end I was an amalgamation of Dimir and Orzhov since I love playing at least three colors.

Constructing the deck was rough.  I had so much removal (kill, bounce, counterspell) that I could have build a deck without any creatures.  I felt like at least trying to win so I cut a few artifacts, a few removal, and added in 8 creatures, two of which had defender.  I had a couple fliers but no real bombs or threats except for the Orzhov promo.

Round 1 I played against a Dimir deck with a splash of white.  The deck was sort of a mill deck and a bit on the stall side.  He also used Extort to some degree but focused on milling and creature damage.  He won the first game while I figured out what to do with my deck.  The second and third games though were similar to one another and radically different from the first game.  I got out my creatures first, 5 of the 8 had extort, then proceeded to play the removal spells while extorting them as much as possible.   won, 1-0

Round 2 was rather a comical game.  First game after mulliganing down to 5, I opened with three lands (two opposing gates) and all three colors along with 2 of my cheap removal spells.  I ended up drawing three more removal spells.  He had all creatures and lands that never did deal me any damage with all my removal.  I put out a couple creatures which was all I would need since he couldn't stop drawing lands.     Game two was much of the same except that I couldn't draw a creature for the entire game.     Game three was the same as the first.  I drew all my removal, using them at the proper time, then played down my creatures and won.  All in all the round took no more than ten minutes.  won, 2-0

Sadly that's the end of my Boldo's pre-release.  I had to leave then as I had a prior obligation.

At millenium there were 150 people.  I ended up going 2-2 with a similar deck in color but far less removal and more creatures.  I could have been 3-1 but by 10:00 i was mentally done with magic.  I realized my fast play caused me to loose two of the three games in the final round.  My opponent was friendly though and I didn't care for the prizes anyways since I don't open packs.  The differences in prizes between the two of us was only 5 packs.  I was awarded 3 packs for a 2-2 record.

What are your stories, tell me in the comments below oh wait this isn't youtube.  Do tell me in the box though.
