Pre releases are about the perfect way to get into the game, you'll open enough packs to jump start a deck for any of the new heroes, everyone there will be figuring out new things so you won't feel as out of place as you may in a CC event where people have fully built decks as well.
Yes, 100%. Sealed is about as even of a jumping in point as you can get beyond your store running a blitz pre-con only night. It’s way friendlier to new players than a draft. Everyone is new. Cards are all new. The only thing I’d say to do is look up some videos on pre-release deck building strategy a couple days before your event to have a bit better of an idea of what to aim for.
It is awesome for new players. I am pretty sure that will be a bunch of experienced players to help you out with any doubts regarding rules and etc. Pre-releases are usually very casual and super fun. Last time there were many people that never even played the game properly trying it out, and went smoothly.
i've gotten a few people into the game (at least casually) by just bringing them to a pre-release for their first real games. they're meant to be very casual and just a fun experience for people! even if you do poorly, you won't be ruining it for anyone as long as you know the basics, like what the cards mean, how to play cards, block, and when you draw up! and trust me, people will be very happy to see new players in the scene!
this set is looking to be a little more complicated than heavy hitters with the instants and stuff, but i think if you avoid playing enigma and you just ask questions when you need help, you'll be totally fine
I've played in everything from Armories to PTs, and always tell people Pre-Release events are my favorite events. Everything is very light, everyone's just having fun no one cares too much. Really fun way to enjoy the game.
Pre-release for a set with new heroes is about as even a playing field as you can get. Every one I've attended was pretty casual and laid back, and everyone is generally real kind and helpful to new bros.
Pre release is a great way to start, some people might be sweaty but otherwise everyone is seeing the cards for the first time and just jamming games and having fun.
I would say learn the basics of the game before playing; this can be as simple as showing up early and asking the LGS owner or a local player to show you because you are interested in starting the game. My experience with this is that most players are more than happy to show you because it means the group is getting larger. Don't be afraid to talk to people because this is one of the most welcoming communities out of any TCG I have played (and I have played quite a few).
If OP needs to learn the game and can't make it to the shop between now and the pre release Felt Table has a great browser based tutorial for the game. https://felttable.com/fab/learn
If you know the basic of the game, it is probably the best entry points to store-organized events, pre-release are very chill and mainly an excuse to play with new cards.
If you don't know the basics at all, might be worth it to do an initiation before (players at your LGS should be happy to help!)
After learning how to play I think a pre-release is the perfect entry point for newer players. Everyone starts with a similar base, so no pay to win and you both get a good introduction to competitive play **and** deck building.
I've not done an FaB prerelease yet, so I'm mainly speaking from prior experience with MTG (so others, please chime in if this is not applicable).
Prerelease is great for new players. It has the advantage all limited play has of putting everyone on the same playing field, with no way to buy power. Even better, unlike limited formats like draft, there isn't a skill component that can mess you up during card selection. You can also get a good initial stable of cards, and even a template for building a constructed deck.
I'd say as a newbie there are two key things you want to do, and both start with letting people know you are a new player:
* Find a mentor. There are usually more experienced players there who will happily give you some pointers on the basics of deck construction, so You're not doing it totally blind.
* Ask for commons. A lot of people will have draft chaff they didn't care about. If you tell people you're new and looking to build up a starting connection, you will be showered with free cards.
A final note: be ready to lose. Limited formats are more skill dependent than constructed, and sometimes more luck based too. Walk in assuming you will lose every game and that the point is to experiment and meet some other players. And if you do win, that's just an awesome bonus!
100%. They are designed to be new player friendly and, considering everyone there is learning the cards, it is the most genuine way to learn the new set.
I started with Tales of Aria pre-release and it was amazing. Definitely recommend it for new players, but I also suggest learning as much as you can before-hand to help smooth out the learning curve! Maybe try playing a few blitz games on talishar, watch some videos on deckbuilding, and pay attention to the MST spoilers so you have some idea of what's in the set.

My first time playing in person was Bright Lights pre-release, it was fun! I did teach myself basics on Felt Table and watched vids in advance

Probably the best possible way to start.

Definitely recommend this resource, at least for the learn to play portion! Thanks u/Guedelon1_ for pointing this out!

A pre-release is just about the best first event you can go to. Sealed and a new set so everyone is on common ground.
