Oh! I did not go for the guild meeting...

I went to one of my local shops 15 mins before the last prerelease flight but they no longer had any products left.
After arranging with a friend, we managed to go for another prerelease elsewhere else via cab.
Here, they had all the guilds left except for Golgari since everyone wanted Abrupt Decay. I heard that Selesnya and Azorious were good but I took Izzet instead (obviously my choice since they don't have Dimir).
At the table, I was told from the people sitting and playing the same guild that Izzet was a rather weak guild and had very bad chances although it could have very powerful pools.
My eventual pool was not fantastic but I tried to make the best of it.
I beat an Izzet deck (who took the Rakdos box) which had my guildmaster in it by playing draw-go in a full Izzet mage style. I next faced my friend who was playing a defender tribal deck with 3x the mill defender. With my burn spells not capable of clearing the 0/4 guys with any consistency, I easily lose in an inevitable way. I scoop to save time and information and side in black for the dumb rare enchantment that halves the player's life but I don't draw it and get double milled with ease again.
Third match was against Azorious who I dispatch easily on the back of my Izzet playstyle that attacks the larger bombs with countermagic while sneaking in small threats.
It was late and I split the last round with my opponent to go back.

We didn't have any incentives to fill the achievement card up. Hey! There was supposed to be a guild meeting held...
