    In this episode, Mike gets distracted by something early on. But that’s not the actual content of the show! Brian and I kick it off by each opening a pack of Zendikar and going through the contents. Then we switch gears and talk about Brian’s PTQ experience from a few weekends ago. He did really well. His deck list is in the forum thread for this episode, give it a look and let us know what you think.

    And of course, we had to go over the freshly released lists for Duel Decks: Garruk vs. Liliana. Rancor! Mutilate! Beasts! Yay! We go over each list, giving a pretty detailed rundown on how we think each one will work. Then of course we have to pick a winner. Keep listening to find out who we thought might come out ahead this time.

    Music for this episode is freakin’ great, you should go check it out!

      This week’s music ‘glorious dawn’ is fantastic, but it sounds like kermit the frog is singing it!

      Love it.

      Yeah, Carl Sagan does kind of have that voice. Much like Ray Romano.

      I played with the Duel Deck a few games this weekend. We found that Garruk regularly overwhelmed Liliana before she could get going. At one point, I was playing Liliana and thought I had the Garruk deck with a howling banshee bringing down the life and a Sign in Blood in hand, when by opponent dropped a plated slagworm and rancor — pretty much the game.
