• With the internet down, it’s hard to upload a new episode. I was pleased to find out that it wasn’t just my connection, but the internet itself that took a few days off leaving us with just paper Magic to keep us entertained. Fortunately, that’s the perfect time to practice sealed deck.

    With the season on us, Konnly Woods and your man Rob take a look at the same sealed pool with different strategies. Connoly _helps_ out with the rest of the show as well giving his very insightful opinions on Type 2 as well…before completely derailing the cast and being banned forever…or until next time…which ever comes first.

    Editorial Note: Conely’s name was intentionally mispelled.

      Editorial Comment…

      I know that Conley Woods’ name is misspelled in this posting several different times….

      But in the end, I choose intentionally not to fix Conely’s name during the Best of MTGCast Rerun of this episode. Afterall, even Konnly would have to admit that it was fairly humerous. Isn’t that right, Connoly?

      Hey Chris, when’s the next Road-warrior Otwell cast going up?

      Didn’t you guys just have a Colorado tourney just a little while ago? How’d the Springs Players do this year?

    • Christopher Otwell on November 17, 2009

      The Springs team accounted or 2nd place and 4th place, yet was able to piece together the top2 team totals.

      As for myself, I have a story of a different kind to tell about it, and maybe I’ll get around to doing it soon enough.
