Anyone find out what some of the promos are? There are a total of 40 promos for the set, not sure how many are actually included in the prerelease.
It would be cool if some where those legacy fetchlands are a few of them. Awesome way to sell this set.
I am also sure wotc mentioned that all the Khans are promos too: so thats narset, sidisi, anafenza, Surrak, and Zurgo.
Likely the 5 intro pack cover cards are also included.
So that is likely 10 promos, maybe up to 30 promos more.
Already signed up for Temur, but i think this might be interesting to know still.
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
I loved this prerelease. I played temur, played all the duals, banners and taplands that gave me mana i could use in Temur colors, i even sideboarded in Duneblast, however maligned it was to help in 3 key matches. I also pulled a clever impersonator and a windswept heath.
Gotta say its quite necessary to pay attention to morphs. And lens of clarity is quite the card, and definitely a must include, even if for just a look at the top of the library.
Even though a lot of people played Abzan, it was quite over rated, i had more trouble with mardu and Jeskai, sultai was hardly present, and temur was played the same amount as mardu and jeskai.
