Pre Pre Release Release

Tuesday Crew was on again today & I was ready!

The back packs piled up

The muffins were out

And Andrew's Cat Soldier Tokens were ready!

The Crew had their games on this morning

Matt continues to play very well

Preston was doing some emergency deck tech after some mana problems

Jack is still not feeling well, but did have a fun match against Dylan

Liam is on fire

Derek was undefeated this morning, I think

Dylan is still playing Slivers which is awesome. He also may be hosting a pre-release event at his house.

Andrew is in for Prerelease

He is also rolling boxcars! which requires some kind of weird time shifting as captured in the above photo

I have a new annoying way to lay out my initial draw based on something I saw on Spell Slingers.

Are Hybrid Spells Cast With Only One Mana Color Still Multicolored?

Derek casts Nightveil Specter using only Blue Mana

I have Soldier of the Pantheon out

Do I still gain the one life?

The Gatherer seems pretty clear on this one:

• 9/15/2013: Most hybrid spells and permanents, including the ones in the Return to Ravnica block, are multicolored, even if you cast them with one color of mana.

Polis Crushers has Protection from Enchanted Creatures?

Matt attacks with his Hero of Iroas 

enchanted with a Mogis's Warhound

which Andrew blocks with his Polis Crusher

Does the Polis Crusher take 4 and die OR does the Polis Crusher have protection from the Enchanted Hercules and take no damage?

This question appears to be answered by the Gatherer:

• 9/15/2013: “Protection from enchantments” means that Polis Crusher can’t be enchanted, it can’t be targeted by Aura spells or by abilities of enchantments, all damage that would be dealt to it by enchantments is prevented, and it can’t be blocked by enchantment creatures. Notably, it doesn’t have protection from enchanted creatures (unless those creatures are also enchantments).
