How did you all get on at your prereleases?

Looks to be a synergy set as despite opening Lumara, Maha, and almost one of each of the reanination spells in the set I went 2:1. =ł ah well.

Matched up against a fun deck blinking Head of the Homestead with the token class enchantment. Luckily it doesn't do well against Vren the Relentless.
On the other hand it turns out that Azure Beastbinder is a top tier threat, and synergy can beat power.

Still I can't complain about opening chase cards. What about all of you? Any fun interactions or moments from your prerelease?

My prerelease promo was Maha. I had enough lizards to run the BR lizard ~~snow~~fireball. I won the event without losing a game. In one game, I kept a hand of just five lands and Maha!

I also had a very interesting game involving Iridescent Vinelasher. I had it and the offspring copy out alongside Flamecache Gecko. Late in the game, I burned out my opponent by discarding the castable cards I topdecked; I actually wanted to draw lands so I could play them for 2 damage every turn.

Yeah, lizards looks scary good at burning people out from a variety of angles.

Congrats on the clean sweep.

And nice little burn package.
