Pre-Release Press Release

Darkness will recede on the Plane of Innistrad this weekend with Avacyn Restored pre-releases being held at both Kid's Dreams stores.
Now that the whole Visual Spoiler has been posted, I asked four Magic players a few questions about their thoughts on this heavenly new set.

First into the fray was our furry friend Nathan:

Q. What are you most looking forward to in this set?
A. "Opening the Helvault and seeing what's inside."

Q. What's your favourite card from Avacyn Restored?
A. "Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded. It's Red and has awesome artwork."



Q. What would you like to open at the pre-release?
A. "The Helvault."

Q. What deck do you currently play in Standard?
A. Nathan just shrugged at this point as he uses a variety of differing decks but I think I'd be safe in saying that we known Nathan for his mono-red decks.

Q. What card do you think will impact Standard the most?
A. "Cavern of Souls."



Nick then gave me his thoughts on the new set:

Q. What are you most looking forward to in this set?
A. "All of the 'flicker' cards because I love flickering."

Q. What's your favourite card from Avacyn Restored?
A. "Cloudshift."



Q. What would you most like to open at the pre-release?
A. "Temporal Mastery. Drawing that and using it in the pre-release would be so fun."

Q. What deck do you currently play in Standard?
A. "A self-built flicker deck."

Q. What card do you think will impact Standard the most?
A. "Vexing Devil because it's just nasty."



I then asked our current champion Dave for his view:

Q. What are you most looking forward to in this set?
A. "I haven't been able to look at the set in detail but I like Tamiyo, the Moon Sage because her ultimate is powerful. I want 6 of them!"



Q. Favourite Card?
A. "Temporal Mastery."



Q. What would you most like to open at the pre-release?
A. "The same as the last one. I opened 3 mythics that worked really well together. Temporal Mastery would be good as well."

Q. What deck do you play in Standard?
A. "Black/White Tokens."

Q. What card do you think will impact Standard the most?"
A. "The new lands."



Finally our bearded artist Olly got his turn to paint a picture of his musings:

Q. What are you most looking forward to in this set?
A. "The Golden Mythic Angel set. I like multi-coloured mythics, Soulbond..... Miracle..."

Q. What would you most like to open at the pre-release?
A. "Soul of the Harvest, Oo or Vexing Devil"



Q. What do you currently play in Standard?
A. "Tempered Heartless Artifacts White Summoning Thing."

Q. What card do you think will have the biggest impact on Standard?
A. "Either Cavern of Souls, Somberwald Sage or Vexing Devil. I suppose Riders of Gavony could be good too."

That was all I had time for but please feel free to use your freedom of expression in the comments section.

All the best and see you on Sunday.
