Oh wow. Haha. Clearly you have not read my post correctly. Perhaps a second read of the second paragraph is required in order to fully understand it.
What, you mean where you ask someone to give you a reason why they're not different, even though like half this thread has been people saying "obviously they aren't trying to devalue ALL the rares"?
Look up "Hobbyist". Not sure of the spelling, but that is what we do. We get ENJOYMENT out of collecting, discussing, and guessing about this game.
Enjoyment out of tearing each other apart over different opinions...? I can watch Jerry Springer episodes for that and I don't have to pay lol...If it were just friendly speculation or conversation I would have never made this post....I don't think anyone enjoys reading the bickering going on in this thread between two over sensitive kids. No where in my post did i criticize anyone for collecting or speculating mtg in anyway....go back read it again and then smack yourself in the face for being a tard...and remember its not your fault, its your mother and father's genetics.

What's funny is that I'm pretty sure you're taking this more seriously than DarkConfidant and I put together. You're certainly being more obnoxious for less reason.
Having the prerelease cards the same as the precons is never a good sign. I have never seen anyone come to FNM with a precon. The 'lowest' possible you could go and hope to not get trashed are the event decks
I have seen a person enter FNM with the Elemental Precon deck and win. It was about +30 people too. When he got to the finals, he offered to split because it was so late. His opponent's reply was "Dude you're playing a Precon, let's play." So they played and he lost lol.

Yeah, I know some people who are compulsive liars as well. They win every tournament they enter too.

Ist it just me or do ALL alternative Arts look worse than the Normal/Intro-Pack versions?
the originals may look better now, but when the normal pics are gonna be THE ONLY ONES YOU EVER SEE, change might be good. Im excited to pick up a foil corpsejack that doesnt look like a %@*!^@
Playin devil's advocate of course, but Jaime Jones' promo Steel Helkite is way better than the normal version. I also think the Bloodlord of Vaasgoth promo looks nicer than its original.
But for the most part I agree. However, the Rakdos horse promo looks great I think. Very excited for prerelease.

anyone knows if the prerelease promo card will replace the rare of the sixth booster in a sealed deck? if so thats crappy because in a normal sealed deck you have 6 rares + the prerelease promo. but seeing the box and the guild die i can say it would not be good, but ok
How in sassafras do male mtg players know what that looks like anyway... seriously though, this forum is making the male fear of the ****** dentata psychoanalysis look more legitimate than ever.
Dude, I'm *married*,
and even I can see the original art for Corpsejack Menace for the Freudian nightmare it is.
It's like an Anime tentacle monster.
I agree that the promo art is worlds better,
if only for the fact it doesn't look like a rotten ******-shambler from Mars.
I dig all the promo arts.
If I'm going to have a surplus of these cards, some of them might as well look different,
better or not.

That would be solid at 4GG, but is a bit too good at 5.
For a common it would be too good at 3GG, but it would be a solidly powerful uncommon, in the same pedigree as Talrand's Invocation and Moan of the Unhallowed. As a common I would expect something closer to Maul Splicer in terms of efficiency.

Troll bait?
I am going Salynsia because that is the only remotely playable card, and a shiny for my Siguarda EDH. Corpse Jack would be fine if he didn't compete for a spot with Jarad.
I still dont know which guild to pick. Either Selesnya, or Rakdos i think.
I'm still playing as all- gotta have all those fancy boxes!
What remains to be seen is if I'll actually be playing as all 5-
I may forfeit some of them just to speed things along.
I'm most interested in Azorius, Izzet, and now, Golgari.
I may not play Rakdos or Selesnya unless I have a ton of time.
But, hey- I'll have some fancy boxes and 30 boosters- that's almost a box!

Good point, I'd want that at uncommon though. It is sort of like bestial menace, probably a bit better.
And here I was thinking the guildleaders would be the promo card for each guild. Damn. I loved the ''flavor'' of every pre-release Izzet deck having at least one Niz-Mizzet in it as a bomb or every Selesnya deck having a possible Trostrani hitting the field.
Kinda disapointed that those guys are the promo.

Some kind of witty comment should be here.
I'm sure you can think of something by yourself.
Meh to all of it but the token. It sucks they decided to have the promos be the same exact cards as the precons.
No it doesn't. Now if you didn't have the money to enter two prereleases, but you wanted two of the cards, you can buy the intro pack with the other card you wanted. It makes choosing a guild a little easier, and it keeps you from getting the possible urge to buy an intro pack with the prerelease card you already got. Personally, I'm stuck between Golgari and Azorius for various reasons, and it'll be nice to get the other prerelease card in the intro pack.

there is no information asto whether it will be replacing a rare. but for the record unless your lgs is three kinds of special you were never allowed to use the prerelease promo in the tournament anyways.
