What's a good way to learn the advanced rules of Magic? This weekend I'm going to a prerelease and playing for the first time since original Zendikar. I get all the basic stuff like the idea of how the stack works, but when it comes to more obscure rules interactions that could plausibly show up I'm lost. Reading through 200 pages of comprehensive rules from WOTC is something I'd prefer not to have to do.

Honestly you probably won't need them at prerelease. What specifically are you not sure about?

Well I get how multiple instants and sorceries interact on the stack, but factor in triggered and activated abilities and I become much less sure of what's right. For example, say an opponent tries to Structural Distortion my Westvale Abbey. Can I sac it for Ormendahl in response?

Holy crap you're right......A 0 mana 4/5.........Is this thing Vintage playable?

Given that it's also a Wall, I doubt it.

Went 3-1 as Orzhov colors. Fretwork colony was astonishingly effective, either becoming a monster or drawing removal every time I played it. Other MVPs include Gonti and Subtle Strike. I didn't think a 2 p/t swing would be that great but the occasional 2 for 1 trade won me several games.

After a lot of playtesting, it looks like indeed that the b/g fast land is the best of the new fast lands for jund/junk. Definitely going to be a 4x of in JUNK and probably a 1/2 of in jund. In junk it allows turn 1 noble into turn 2 lily/souls much more often at a considerable life savings, which is pretty amazing.

It also seems that lost legacy is a really great silver bullet hoser for ad nauseum and a few valakut decks.

Any chance it ends up being worth more than a few bucks? I got one but I'm not gonna waste time posting it for $5.

Staff of domination is pretty good in this limited format.

Hi five staff buddy. Pretty much only used it to tap creatures. Rakdos did work with Battle at the Bridge, Yahennis Expertise and Unlicensed Disintegration.

I think sooner, the fall set hasn't been announced right? I'd bet it is "return to Dominaria" basically the teaser makes me think the plot is more or less "go to Amonkhet, Bolas beats the poo poo out of the Jacetice League, they retreat to Dominaria."

Clearly Commander 2017 will be return to Dominaria with Ajani, Yawgmoth 2.0, and Teferi 3.0 as commanders.
