That would be.... very Dimir-ish... (shudders) A most intriguing concept. (writes down some notes for Quicksilver) BTW:  |

 Wow. A good Leviathan. I am impressed. I may have to reconsider my tribal type... |

Poking around in the FAQ, I found these... Not that it matters with prerelease tommorow... *laugh*
I went and picked out the ones that looked interesting to me. I like Guardian of the Guildpact; it has protection from ALL colors, but not really. Flash Foliage is a fun card (Jumping in front~!), as is Sprouting Phytohydra. Bronze Bombshell and Wakestone Gargoyle both beg to have decks built around them, and War’s Toll is mean, and I want it. BADLY. White/Red control, here I come!
Oh, and congrats, blue. Why? Research//Development (but, really, just Research…) and Psychic Possession. And, screw it, throw Mormir Vig in there. I hate you so badly right now.

So how did every one enjoy the prerelease? Did anyone open up anything really great or find some awsome combo.
I know I had fun. I ended up not going to the one in Michigan, due to a lack of a babysitter in the state. So I went to the one in Philadelphia instead.
