Before every Prerelease, I have to scour through lots of Magic articles, open past bookmarks, click a lot of links, and perform several searches to find everything I like to have read before a Prerelease. Really I spend a couple hours just trying to find what I need to read. This time around, could we all work together to post helpful URLs to prepare for Battle For Zendikar? Here are the URLs I'm looking for:

• BFZ Mechanics Article
  
• Card/Set FAQ
  
• New Mulligan Rule?
  
• Changes to Oracle and Comp Rules
  
• Information on the sideline games players can play
  

I realize at the time of this post that not all these articles even exist yet for BFZ, but as they're posted and you find them, can you copy and paste the links in this thread? We can help each other by doing so!

These are the two I know exist so far. The new mulligan rule is in effect
for the prerelease and every sanctioned match thereafter.

Ooh! I already found the mulligan article! It is here:

Not one of the articles you were looking for specifically but a worthwhile one to get you a start on and reminder of the things to put in your announcements as well as general observations on how to run a smooth prerelease:

http://blogs.magicjudges.org/playerexperience/2015/09/18/prerelease-tips-and-gathering-feedback-battle-for-zendikar-edition/

The release notes (formerly the FAQ) and the Oracle/CR change documents are coming soon. They will be on the mothership when they are released.

If you are running a 2HG prerelease, the release notes for that will be on http://blogs.magicjudges.org/2hg/ soon =)
EDIT: now online: http://blogs.magicjudges.org/2hg/battle-for-zendikar-two-headed-giant-release-notes/

Also the normal release notes: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/battle-zendikar-release-notes-2015-09-23

Thank you, @Seth Black, for telling me where they'd appear and what they'd be called. I just saw them today at:

“Compiled by Matt Tabak, with contributions from Laurie Cheers, Carsten Haese, Eli Shiffrin, Zoe Stephenson, and Thijs van Ommen” Thanks, you guys!

I love studying for Prereleases more than I loved studying for college exams.

Please keep rules Q&A in the Rules Q&A forum.
