I went to my first "real" Magic event at my local game store (as in not an Open House), the Ixalan Prerelease. Everyone there was very kind, and the first guy I went against even helped me refine my deck with the cards I opened. I got a 1-1-draw; in the second round I won by "bide", and I technically lost the third round, but since we went over the time limit, he called it a draw.
I know these kinds of posts aren't really welcome on this site, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who offered help and suggestions on my threads. You guys gave me the confidence to go to my LGS and start playing.
I plan on going to more drafts so I can keep learning how to play and how to make good decks. That way, I'll slowly build up a cardbase that I can use for FNM Standard (many suggested netdecking to start with, but I'm not sure which type of deck I want to play, so I like having options). In the meantime, my LGS has decks I can borrow for FNM. I'm also tempted to splurge on a box, because Ixalan is looking pretty good.
Once again, thank you all. I'm glad to be part of such a nice community.

I'm new to Magic and have a lot of stupid questions. Thanks to everyone in advance who help answer these stupid questions.
Glad you finally popped your event cherry. See, we all told you it's not as bad and nerve wrecking as you think. It'll get easier from here, especially when you start making friends at the shop.
Oh, and I think you mean you got a "bye", not a "bide."
Glad to hear it. I also always try to help players who seem newer to refine their decks at limited events. Listen to what the seasoned players have to say and you will learn quickly. Learning what fits best (and I am no master) just takes time.
You're right, glad I finally got out of my shell. At the shop, they told me it was spelled "B-I-D-E" instead of "B-Y-E". I don't if they are just mistaken.
