Innistrad spoilers, discussion, and pre-release

[Dan Barrett]

First up - Jason will be having a pre-release again this time, so please do come and support it, it's probably advisable to book in advance and reserve a slot in case it's really busy - do so here:

 

SATURDAY

 

SUNDAY

 

 

Secondly, spoilers are starting, and this set looks pretty sweet theme-wise.

Nothing official yet (expect to see some early tomorrow morning after the Innistrad party at PAX, and spoiler articles start on dailymtg Monday), but there is this blurry Russian video that confirms flashback is returning, and there are some gold cards in the set. It would be an obvious Salvation fake, but the book the cards are on has the same symbol as one of the houses in that theme article, so...

Signed up for Saturday AM, up for some "shenanigans" later on as well.

will definately be playing in colchester as it is now simply not worth coming to london for this as it so busy (sorry Jason you know I love your events).

Will definately need a new Garrack for my edh though

[Dan Barrett]

He doesn't seem obviously powerful, no

Garruk sucks..

[Peter Dun]

liliana for sleeper card though (not at pre-release, in 4 weeks when it goes down in price)

[Daniel Royde]

Is garruck that bad? I can't figure him out.

Liliana does look quite good.

Garruk has no way of being at more than 3 counters first time you pass with him in play, which is super awkward. Im pretty sure no good planeswalker has had that problem :S

[Tomas Sukaitis]

Good thing Bolt is rotating out then.

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

well I definately need one for my edh deck
