How do you do 6? As far as i can tell the ones i go to will be from like 10 to 5 with like 6 rounds of play. Im prob doing one sat and one saturday, but how do you guys do 6?
Edit: i just looked it up. Mine does 4 of them at midnight...idk how you do four at once? One sat daytime and 1 sunday at day

you're supposed to drink heavily before them
Yes I am doing midnight, no I will not finish - the way to do them is to go to FNM, then hit a bar, then come back and play a couple rounds and then drop when you're super tired and come back for the real one the next day.
I'm too old for this now
The place I used to go for midnight would do 5 rounds (!), so you weren't leaving the store before 6AM

It's like opening a box except less of a waste time and money
Yo I'm gonna a get my gf to play who's a fookin nub that haven't even played a game yet. That's worst! I just want me some early Oath cards damnit.

I am transmitting this to you from a secret location where an early prerelease is happening. The biggest takeaway so far: between Scions and utility lands no-one I've seen has had any trouble consistently playing colorless cards. And they're quite good. Don't be afraid to run them aggressively in your deck

I'm spoiling myself this time; going to a morning prerelease and two-headed in the afternoon. Intro pack rares, come to papa!
Good luck to all you crazies doing midnight prerelease.
p.s. You can play Wasteland in limited formats, right? Asking just in case.
If you open it in Limited, you can play it.
Something i neber thought of til i read that cb primer.
That if you are already mana fixing a bunch to add colorless as a 3rd color of sorts, than you can probably play 1 of another color like say a black too for complete disregard bc you will have 4 other sources already lined up to help get there

True, but it's avoided so many bannings that tons of people are comfortable picking up the deck without worry. Not many people are picking up Bloom Titan if they think it's gonna get the axe.
Even I built the deck last year. Didn't keep my interest very long, though.

It's hilarious to me that Twin might be getting the Axe. I mean, I don't like the deck (and honestly, I prefer Kikijiki if we're talking Infinite swarm decks) but it's been a staple for so long that it's kind of WTF it's happening now.

Unban Dread Return, Wizards!
Do the right thing!
Do the right thing!
It's always been stupid, they just didn't realize for forever how stupid it was or the kind of negative influences it had on the format (tapped out? you lose!)

Looking forward to hitting up the prerelease tomorrow before some football playoffs. Hope anyone that heads out tonight has a good time. Any advice/tips from others on if some colors are really good this set or some really good cards?

They should print Daze into Modern.
Black is sweet, but play whatever has the highest power in your pool and your mana fixing allows. Outside of green the colors are all pretty good.

Fucking finally! It's about damn time.

Worst then tapped out. If you Mana up for a path, they can tap it during the endstep. You need 2 Mana to beat it reliably.
Yeah, Mythicspoiler.com has em all, as do all the other sites.
Yup. It innately broke the turn 4 rule.

If that's your only Magic experience, then you should attend a prerelease this weekend, or play Magic Duels. That will also give you more experience with other deck types.

Awesome, playing a legacy staple at prerelease would be hilarious. Although I can't imagine Wasteland being that good outside of blowing up <> mana sources.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss making Eldrazi Scions every game. Those were some GOAT chump blockers/mana dorks.
Ehhh I'm only going to play casually anyway, and forge is mainly single player afaik

I don't blame them, really.
I mean, Considering Twin as a deck doesnt even have Twin post board 90% of matches, it was inevitable.

I....don't really care if Twin is banned. I can play Grixis Control and nothing else in the deck other than Exarch loses much value.
This is pretty much exactly why it was getting banned, the deck was just "oh heres Vault/Key in the middle of our tempo/control deck" now.
Yeah. Unlikely that only partial changes are in, given the beta timing.
Probably not? But Twin getting axed makes it less crazy.

Are other modern staples gonna spike with Twin getting banned? I don't know how to MTGfinance.
Zoo-style aggro decks AND control decks get better. How much better? I dunno.
Lol sucking up for that mana flair.
Ah well guess I'll rebuild into Grixis Control. Sucks a bit because I just wanted to play UR and I just bought some staples for it. I deemed it unlikely of a ban because it doesn't really pick up the tournament results it used to and many complaints people have are the same or worse for other decks. Infect can pull of even cheaper shit. We'll have to see how the metagame reacts though.

The thread is still linkable: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/416hjw/in_the_current_mtgo_beta_splinter_twin_and_summer/
Splinter Twin and Summer Bloom aren't modern legal in the current MTGO beta and the thread gets taken off the front page of the subreddit? Very curious. That would put affinity and tron in a favorable position for the Pro Tour. Hope the pros haven't started deckbuiliding yet, seems like there will some sort of shakeup, at least.
