Are you freakin serious? That's right, the fight between the various creatures of the night and the forces of the humans will be amped up at your local Prerelease in a whole new way, thanks to the monster hunts running throughout the main event. Every Prerelease will have some number of people designated as a vampire, werewolf, zombie, or spirit at the start of the event.
I was seriously considering going to this one, but you've now convinced me otherwise. Looks like now all I have to do after My Little Pony this weekend is to go back to bed.

Heh. They're trying to give the small-set prereleases something quirky to do, after the success of Mirrodin Besieged's faction wars. This time we have faction wars again, but with factions who convert opposing humans into their own kind... just like Phyrexia do. Um.
Anyway, I wouldn't particularly mind being turned into a vampire or a spirit, but I really don't want to be a zombie. I suppose i could bring along my pirate costume from last week's fancy dress party so that if I get zombified, I can become a zombie pirate.

What's the point of this monsters vs humans business? Are there special prizes that everybody gets if they're on the "winning side" or something? I'm still going to the prerelease, cause I promised my nephew I'd take him, but I'm not looking forward to the shenanigans of this event.

You guys are silly. You play like normal. At the end of the day you might get something extra. /endtopic

Apparently so. The article states: "At the end of each Prerelease, though, there will be one team with the most players—either monster or human. Whichever has the greatest population at the end of the event wins, and organizers will surely make certain that to the winning team go the spoils."
I think it sounds silly but hey, I'll give it a try. Doing new things keeps you young.

My friend is going to his first Pre-Release. While I'm unable to go with him, I'm wondering if it will be diffrent from a typical one becasue of this "Humans vs Monsters" theme, as I'm still not really sure what it's about.

Why are people confused about this? It makes virtually no difference whatsoever to what you actually do - it's purely a feeling/rewards thing. If you want to do a bit of light roleplaying you can I guess,... but there's no implication any is required and there's no actual teamwork of any kind.

What's to be confused about?
it's just another asinine gimmick to distract everyone from the abysmal overall card-quality or the set.

Why are you asking me? I'm not confused.
Oh it's so you can complain some more. Cool. But if you think the overall quality of the set is abysmal why were you considering going to the prerelease? I mean I like the set and I won't be going to a prerelease.
