I did attended 3 preleases this weekend not sure if I made all the best choices or just got it feels like average pulls for a few of them. I would like to know if could have done any better with the choices I had.
This first one couldn't say I got the best pulls didn't get to try it out too much since it was a Midnight prerelease for the store he only did a 3 round for time purposes.
Jeez this is a shallow pool, as there aren't too many playable creatures in any color. I'd choose red as a main color since you have a bomb (Skyship Stalker) there and some amount of playables there. Black has some amounts of removal, but the amount of playable creatures there are *low*. Maybe I'm wrong here, but white seems to be a good bet as the other color.
With this in mind, here is a rough idea of how my deck would go:
Pool #2: Black is so loaded it's not even funny. So, we need to find a color that is a good compliment to black. What black needs from the other color the most is 3-drops, which red fills up for the most part. Thanks to Concealed Courtyard and Prophetic Prism, we can also splash white without too much trouble, and there are a couple splashable cards that we can use from that color.
On pool 2, Kapak has the right idea with red. However, I would have probably skipped white and added more artifacts. Between Decoction Module, you could have generated enough energy every two turns to feed Aethertorch Renegade every other turn. I also found that Whirlermaker was a VERY solid card. Making 1/1 fliers was often the right thing to do.
This first one couldn't say I got the best pulls didn't get to try it out too much since it was a Midnight prerelease for the store he only did a 3 round for time purposes.

Will work on Pool #3 tomorrow. Hope this is helpful.
Once again, black is loaded. And once again, the second color needs to cover black's holes, which white admirably does. The deck:

This is very similar to your build, but I upped the creature count and put in more removal. Hope my decks help.
