Gatecrash Prerelease Primer

Hello everyone and welcome back once again, this time it's the gatecrash pre-release primer with details on what is going to occur for the upcoming set's prerelease, so without further ado let's begin.

Alright, for this set you have the option to choose 1 of the 5 guilds, the Simic Combine, The Boros Legion, House Dimir, The Orzhov Syndicate and the Gruul clan, each one of these 5 guilds have different promos this time around, which i've covered on a different article, please see that for the promos. For the event this time around you'll receive 5 boosters of gatecrash, as well as a bunch of other goodies including your guild pack which you choose essentially as you sign up.

Once you choose the guild and all that, if you've preregistered, you will receive various packs of gatecrash and the 1 guild pack that you chose, if not then whatever remaining slots that are left well, you'll have to decide quickly. It's usually 6 rounds of limited, where you build a 40 card deck and go nuts in the format, which is a fun and decent format to be honest, other then that, have fun and all of that, enjoy the gatecrash prerelease and all that, next week starts the gatecrash limited review for here, till then this is vergil signing off.

Gatecrash Pre-Release Cards

Hello everyone and it's about that time to talk about the upcoming 5 prerelease cards which are going to be handed out for the upcoming Gatecrash pre-release, so without further ado let's take a look see.


For signing up with the Orzhov, you'll get your hands on this nice shiny version of Treasury Thrull the 4/4 that returns stuff when it attacks and has the keyword Extort showing it's a part of that particular guild.


Dimir players will receive this shiny Consuming Aberration as a return for signing up with this guild, it shows the power of Blue/Black at it's finest with a mill theme going on.


For players who just want to beat faces in, Gruul's champions will receive this nice and very alternate art Rubblehulk for their troubles, it also happily demonstrates the mechanic of channel i mean Bloodrush.


Soldiers of the boros legion receive this nice alternate art Foundry Champion for becoming a part of the army, I've not really talked about him, so let's take a minute to examine him now, he's a 4/4 for 6, when he enters the battlefield, he deals damage to target creature or player equal to the number of creatures you control, plus he self pumps himself with either white or red mana to boost toughness or power.


And finally, for the simic players, they will receive this alternate art Fathom Mage for their troubles, show casing the wonderful mechanic of Evolve and the fact it can get big really, really quickly, plus it gives you cards as a reward for more counters.

With that, we are forced to conclude this edition, it should also be noted from now on, my thoughts on each set will be covered in the Limited Review, instead of full official spoilers, so you'll see more of those then official spoilers, for full spoilers i'd suggest to check out mtgrealm.blogspot.com in the mean time, as spoilers there are consistently updated, until next time this is vergil signing off.
