MTGCast Episode 31 - Amore magic!
‘You’ve read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!’

Magic News
A sneak peak image of a main dragon from Planar Chaos has been leaked. The book cover found on Amazon for the Future Sight novel looks amazing! We mention the great MTG webcomic UGMadness and their current fundraiser. Also, some more information has been posted about the Christmas Pack of Time Spiral (you know, the one with the necklace).

Article or Magic Moment of the Week
Dom picks an article about Champs. Gavin picks an MTGSalvation article, well, written by himself about Time Spiral standard. Tom talks about one of his favorite magic decks of all time, his mono-black ante deck that has been around since Beta/Unlimited. It featured cards like Contract from Below, Hymn to Tourach, Dark Ritual and Erg Raiders.

Pro Player Top Trumps
We ask the listeners, is PPTT getting stale? Would you like us to try another quick game at the end of each show? Do you have any ideas for games? This is a free-for-all, which means Tom will probably lose.

    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.
