I went to the pre-release event for the new magic set, Lost Caverns of Ixalan yesterday with a friend!

(In these events: everyone gets a bunch of packs of random cards, and they have to build a deck out of what they were given. There's then a mini tournament, where you play the decks against each other)

It was my first prerelease and I had a lot of fun. I think also it's a healthy way for me to engage with MTG.
