Some very cool posters on the MTGCast forums have created some MTGCast-host themed cards that you should definitely check out.

Ah-Hoy! News

Emails and Comments
Bandito from the MTGSalvation forums says they like the new Tribal segment, so there! :^)

Tribal Time with Tom
Tribe of the week is Constructs (nod to Sinborn for the idea)! Some of the key creatures are Stuffy Doll, Epochrasite, Mindless Automaton and Phyrexian Walker. A number of viable strategies exist, Tom and Gavin discuss the more control-orientated U/W builds that can take advantage of Enlightened Tutor to search out most cards in the deck and the Guilty Conscience + Stuffy Doll combo. We also look at the interaction of the Eight Post land base (Vesuva + Cloudpost) with Tolaria West searching out key lands. Lots of fun and you can look at some sample decklists and post your own decklists! Next week is Golems!

    Sealed Deck
    • 2+ players
    • Each player needs 1 Tournament pack and 3 booster packs
    • Players simply open their tournament packs and the cards from three additional booster packs and build a deck from the cards they opened. Guidelines require a minimum deck size of 40 cards and allow players to add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their card pools as they like.

    Booster Draft
    • 4-8 players
    • Each player needs 3 booster packs
    • At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.
      Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
    Tribal Wars
    • One-third of every deck must be of a single creature type (e.g. "Merfolk" or "Beast")
    • Each deck must contain at least 60 cards, and players may build decks using Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
    • You can use creatures of other creature types, but they do not count towards the "1/3 of single creature type" rule.

    Singleton
    • aka "Highlander"
    • No two cards in a player's deck can share a name unless they're basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). Players can use Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
