I have the opportunity to go to a prerelease this sunday. Now, I'm a teenager, and after mowing lawns and stuff, I make about $50 a month. So the $25 for the prerelease is a lot of money. So, I'm going to ask anybody that's been to one to answer a few questions (I know it depends on where you go, but I'm just wondering in general):
1)How is the competition?
I've never played sealed deck. I consider myself to be a good deckbuilder and excellent player, but I don't have experience doing this. Will I have a chance? They said that anyone with a 4-2 record or better will get prizes; do you think I can achieve that?
2)How are the side events, and how much do they cost?
If I scrub out, will I have something affordable and interesting to do while my friends play?
3)Are there good deals to be had?
Are there dealers selling stuff cheap, or people that will make worthwhile trades? Is it possible to find cards you want at good prices?
4)Overall, is it worth it?
Bear in mind, I'm a teenager and this is a pretty good chunk of change to me. Will I get my money's worth? I'm not really interested in the Masques starter, and I can wait for Prophecy cards; if I go, it'll be for the fun of the tournament and meeting new people.
Feel free to add any comments you have on the prereleases.
By the way, people that go (possibly including me)--afterwards, write an article about how it was, how you did, what you think of Prophecy, etc. We want to know!
