I've been pretty excited for this set but I highly doubt my province will be out of lockdown by then, let alone be able to play in store. I found a pretty good sized group of buddies who I've done webcam prereleases with past 2 sets so I at least have that
I'd like to be optimistic about it as that picture was apparently taken 5 days after the cards were open, but many foils have had atrocious issues with curving. So I kinda doubt they've solved any issues
I’d like to remind everyone to keep on topic on how the covid pandemic relates to mtg/local gaming stores and keep anything related to politics and effects of the vaccine out of this thread
Even a player like myself who loves playing tournaments sometimes gets burnt out on events and wants to play just casual Magic. It does happen for me occasionally
I think prereleases are pretty popular among casual players (at least in my area) because they can often level the playing field in a sense. Sealed eliminates the "pay to win" aspect where people who wanna win will just buy into expensive decks. Sealed gives everyone the same chance to open a crazy pool and at prerelease the format may not always be as solved as it will later become.
I know a few people who would only play duel decks against each other because they found that more balanced.
