The prerelease page only lists the 22nd and 23rd (next weekend) as prerelease days. If they were doing that I'd imagine that they'd say so on the website.
Well in the Europe section of the Prerelease it has them scheduled for both weekends but not for America *sniff*. Also I have just but noticing how diverse these boards are. That's really cool.
I've been talking to my local card store owner and he told me that wizards is going to do 2 release cards 1 for the actual pre-release and 1 for the sneak peaks the week after at least this time. I'm not sure if its true but Kev(the owner) is a pretty good friend and doesn't usually kid me around about this kind of stuff.
Yes, this is true ... and it is information we've heard before.
There will be 2 different promo's for BoK, and likely all sets after it.
One for the Prerelease itself, and another for the sneak peak/instore prerelease/whatever its called in your country 1 week later.
To restate, ... this is *not* arena related, this is a different card which will be handed out before BoK's release.
Whether your store/country chooses to run both weekends is likely up to them .. certainly most, if not all countries do have the chance to run both.
Further, Since we know Budoka Pupil to be a prerelease card of sorts, and the fact that it is uncommon, this could leave us to beleave that it is the sneak peak card, since up till now prerelease cards have been rares ... meaning we would still not know what the prerelease card is. This paragraph is merely a probability, the rest is correct, and already known.
I'm really looking forward to the Betrayers prerelease. I haven't been to one in a while, and with the way this set and block are shaping up, I KNOW I want to get in on the action. Given that, I appreciate the opportunity to go on two weekends versus our usual one. =)
Wow....I soooo read that as 'Ichigo who goes topless.'
Does anyone know if the prelease cards will be alternate art again? That seems to be standard fare recently (as much as I hated the kaldra equipment, it would've been nice to get the full set of foily alternate art).
in my country, there will be two days of pre-release (Sat. & Sun. - Jan. 22-23) and for my past experience in going to these pre-releases, it's a common schedule (w/ 1 only card given) and the following week, a draft of that set is being held. . . . so if this is true then it would be a good change of scenario in our tournament scene.
well there will be the normal prerelease event on the 22nd/23rd and the following weekend some stores will be having a special in-store prerelease, er release?... events

Too bad i can't go. It sound really cool that there are 2 pres, can you go to both?
PAY ATTENTION!!1one READ POSTS, SPECIFICALLY MINE, BEFORE YOU RESPOND TO TOPICS.
You can't get both promos at a single prerelease because they're being given away at different events. The Ichigo is being given out at 'preview weekend' events held at local stores. An unknown -not uncommon- card is being given out at the large prerelease events.
The end.
if you are ever being chased by a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel, then over a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. theyre trained for that
Its 3 boosters, in normal sealed it is 2 but for the prereleases they want people to actually get to play with the new cards, and not just have a deck witha few and the rest from the base set.
Prereleases annoy me though, cause i never do well in them, i mean i always get a few packs but i win most of the drafts at my usual place, and at least one of the guys that i draft with has a composite rating of at least 1800, probably much more. Most of the time one of us gets mana screwed though, hes probably a better player than me, but i manage to pull it out against him most of the time.
It takes me some time to judge what colors i should play, i always tend to get myself in a mindset before the prerelease where i become biased towards certain colors, and then end up playing them, cause i tricjed mysel finto thinking it was the best deck. When really some other color may offer much more synergy, or just power.
Hopefully i will have a swelling of pride sometime soon..........

my prerelease (in boston) is just gonna be the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, no different then any other, u get 1 starter (ChK), and 3 boosters (BoK), i dont think theres any difference from previous ones
if they do do the whole 2 promo thing, i'm gonna feel seriously ripped of if the Sneek Peek promo is uncommon....because our shop here only does sneek peeks...and uncommon promos just don't phase me i have to say...

Also, there are two prerelease cards rumored to exist, presumably a different one for every prerelease week.

If that's what it says on the website... I always thought it was 3 packs of BOK and a tourney pack. I can be wrong.
