I attended Return to Ravnica prerelease event at Neutral Grounds Cebu at JY Mall, Lahug, Cebu City. 60 players registered for the said event.
As indicated in previous posts, I decided to play Golgari guild instead of the more favored Azorius guild.
First of, I'm highly satisfied with WotC's effort with their prerelease kits. The sticker and the 20-sided die is an improvement over previous prereleases (or rather, before Avacyn Restored). More freebies would attract more players and having 60 in an event like this is huge.
I first opened the guild booster pack and got a nice Jarad out of it. I guess it all went downhill from there. I don't think I built the optimal Golgari guild deck. I was lacking creatures to be called a swarm and there weren't much creature kill to go around. I guess the card pool was not cooperating (though I never tried to check what color combination I could have gone with if ever I didn't go green-black). I did splash white because of Collective Blessing (the only white-x card in the deck).
Return to Ravnica sealed seems like a slow format. The best way to go is to get to the bombs for the win.
I went 2-2 which isn't too bad.
Furthermore, I would say that Golgari is not really the guild for me.
I look forward to Gatecrash and this time I aim to choose the best guild.
