Oh so the pre-release isn't really the 12th? I guess I knew in the back of my mind that the date wasn't really the 12th.... community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758...Oh well I hope I can reschedule my vacation.

Things that I want to see changed on MTGO:
1: 64 man drafts added to rotation of Events.
2: Visual/Audible Notification of disconnect, deckbuild/afk time expiring and round starts.
3: Prize Payouts as close to draft sets as possible.
4: Rotate Classic draft queues monthly!
5: MOCS level events for Classic/Pauper
6: Power 9!
7: Award Promo Cards for Constructed PEs (esp for Legacy/Classic)
8: Program Split option back in!
9: Set Favorite version in deck editor (i.e. always use x swamp)
10: Better sorting of gold cards in deck editor.
11: Bring leagues Back!

Bleh, why couldn't they just make guild marks tradeable? Either that or they need to make Event tickets a currency in their own store. I was really looking forward to these, but I haven't purchased anything from the store in over a year. It's a hassle for me, and I have plenty of tickets, packs, and cards, and I wasn't planning on putting any more money into my account for a long time. I really wanted to play in a lot of these, but it looks like I will be waiting for release events. Edit: Missed the fact that I could still draft during the Prerelease for 15 tickets. No longer disappointed, and will be happy to partake in a few fairly-priced swiss drafts

Two things I don't like about the new prereleases.
First. We are forced to use the store although we have tickets already. Would it be possible to make a purchuse with the ingame currency (tickets)?
Second. Who gets any benifit if you make a super scarse Avatars? I never played any premier draft but since they last only 3 weeks there could not be so many top8 players around. Let's say 100 drafts fire so only 800 Avatars are released. Ever. That's sad since I wish to acquire all the Avatars but this makes it very difficult since the prices for these can go abnormaly high. Would it be possible to sell a special Avatar booster where you get random Avatars from the past. Assuming the price is resonable. Let's say 2 tickets for 15 random Avatars.

Just realized that with the new Prerelease schedule where there is nothing Friday night I won't be able to play this Pre-Release which coincidentally is the first one I've been excited about playing due to the format...  *EDIT* just realized that I actually can play that Saturday as my wife has to work all day! Yippee!

You know, with the reduced total price and the similarities to the paper experience, I may just play an event this time around.
Yes, I also think you should have made the guildmarks tradable rather than forcing us to go to the store. But still, kudos on making me excited for a prerelease for pretty much the first time ever.

man this is really messed up, they are forcing players to pay the store $5 for each prerelease you do because the guildmark gets used up each sealed i am assuming and they don't reward any in your prizes
this is a big upset for someone who likes to play in a bunch of prereleases over the week end

I collect avatars, so this caught my interest. The Isperia, Supreme Judge avatars are awarded to the top-8 for both the Top 8 Premier Drafts (of which there are never enough) and the Top 8 Sealed Deck Events. Since these will be scheduled events, we should be able to know the real number once the schedule is out.
5 Avatars for one set? That's got to be a record.
There was an event in the past where you got to select the avatars of our choice for prizes. That was awesome!
