Randy Beuhler Interview
Randy Beuhler interview and Justin Ziran talks about MTGO v3.0 at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX 2006) by a video game podcast, ‘The Game Addict Hotline’.
Interesting since the interviewer didn’t know much about magic, but some cool info overall! It is in Episode 1 of the ‘Daily Game Addiction: PAX 2006′ about 1/3 of the way down the page.

Grand Prix Sydney coming up Oct 7-8!
I used to live in Melbourne for awhile, so I thought this was interesting. Also cool, since it will feature Time Spiral. 1st day is Time Spiral Limited and 2nd day is Time Spiral draft. This is a qualifier for Pro tour Geneva.

Magic Jargon
Cool overview of the magic jargon and slang that we all know and use. Cool to see the written definitions and some look into the origin of the words and how to use them properly in a sentence (and a way for me to sneak in a mention of ‘Magic Academy’).

New section on Time Spiral mini-site = ‘Time in Ruins’!
First link is called ‘Time of Ruins’- that features some more background info and some very cool art!
Second link is another lame puzzle - get that desktop background, and yes, it still has a ’solve’ button.
Third link is links to the scans of part 3 and 4 of the 4 part comic series ‘Antiquities War’.

Mark Rosewater brings us the next card preview in his article ‘Needing a Little Time’. MaRo’s favorite SF genre? - Time Travel. Good article even though I almost had a massive heart attack after seeing Jean Claude Van Damme’s ugly mug on the front of the even uglier movie, TimeCop.

A WHOLE TON OF CHANGES on MTGCast!
We will leave this up to Dom! He talks about the redesign of the site, each show getting it’s own feed.
We have host blogs and planning for a nice schedule of all things to come!

Combo of the Week
Tom: Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore + Evil Eye of Urborg
Gavin: Dream Stalker + Cloudstone Curio

Pro Tour Top Trumps
Yep, Tom tries it again. Will Tom perhaps win? Or does he have about the same chance as Jessica Simpson winning an Oscar?

    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.
