A Secret Announcement

Posted on 28 June 2006 by Dominic Hodgson

Two new Coldsnap cards of the week, Stalking Yeti and the new might land, Dark Depths. Hurricane is in 10th Edition, and the current land block up for art voting is Ravnica. 10th Edition card vote #2 is up with Auriok Champion vs Paladin En-Vec. Card Vote has ended and Hurricane won with 52.5% of the vote.

It is officially the start of Preview Week and the magicthegathering.com website will feature a new card each day! Aurochs shows up FOURTEEN times in the Orb of Insight and posted to our attention by TheTragicClown in the MTGCast forum. Winner of the first Momir Vig Basic 4x Premier Event is Scott Markeson from Big Lake, Minnesota.

The first chapter of Time Spiral is available for download as a 16-page PDF file at:

I (Tom) apologize if I offend anyone with my jabs at the lawsuit, I have no ill will against Mark Rosewater and he does a great job.

We (aka Gavin) talks about the affect of RAV block on other formats like Legacy and Vintage. Put in your thoughts on the topic on the MTGCast forum here:

Dom has a secret announcement, but you will have to listen (Tom says it’s definitely worth listening).

Combos of the Week are up (but Dom skips this one to work on his many secret side projects). Tom has Graven Dominator + Orzhov Pontiff, Gavin has Bramble Elemental + Stasis Cell and TRB submits an extended Coldsnap combo with Aether Snap + Dark Depths:

    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.
