Here are my notes in preparation for winning M15 Prerelease at Dice House. My pre research review lead me to the following order of prefernce–leaning toward playing a White Blue deck if possible [and I don’t grab rad slivers].

1. White
2. Red
3. Black
4. Green
5. Blue

1. Confirm
Call Dice House (714) 871-6494 and confirm US$25 price. Make sure he is going to have sleeves and stuff.

2.  Format

Prereleases are Sealed Deck format events, where players are given Prerelease Packs and time to construct a 40-card minimum deck.

3. Review  ‘Prerelease foil’

so white, red, & black are all playable. I am leaning toward White–last year I played all green all the time & I might as well move around the mana wheel.

4. Preview the cards
Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa on Channel Fireball is a good place to start

5. Investigate development
I started The M Files: Magic 2015, Part 1 and read the stuff on the official WotC Site

6. Post on Google+

7. Update Twitter

8. Read Google+ links

9. Get confused by HuntBiggerGame Garruck thing

10. Tweet Patrick Chapin & Brian Kibler on what color they are playing

11. Follow all the designers on twitter.

12. Watch Wedges’ Videos

and queue up the Combichrist for some late night dark techno if things get tricky:

14. Reevaluate after listening to Wedge

1. White
2. Red
3. Green
4. Black
5. Blue

Like a meteor, it strikes from above without warning. Unlike a meteor, it then carries you off and eats you.
