This Week in Magic

Basking Rootwalla has been announced as the FNM Foil for April . . . will all the cards for the UG Madness deck be released? Planar Chaos is now available on MTGO, and Gavin is itching to draft! Unhinged has bottomed out on eBay, with booster boxes going for $25 - $30. It’s worth it for the lands alone!

Article / Item of the Week

Jesse: Memories of an Old Magic Player on MDV

Dom: Cranial Insertion: Layer Cake on MTGS

Gavin: Tales of a Runner by MaRo on MTG.com

Tom (who left us notes while hiding out on Easter Island) tells us about a trick in MTGO to see all the old school promos, even the ones not released yet! This comes from an article Tom read in Beckett Magazine:

In MTGO, open up your Collection Screen, go the Collection page and set the Number Owned = 0. This shows you every card available now, and some cards that are planned to be released in the future. Now click the Promo tab (Letters are PRM) located between the Vanguard and Mirage tabs. Here is there quick list of interesting promos:

Baron Sengir

Khabal Ghoul

Serendib Efreet

Sylvan Library

Two-Headed Giant of Foriys (pronounced like “Four-eyes”, get it?)

Preacher (OH YEAH!)

Tawnos’s Coffin

Zuran Orb

Kjeldoran Outpost

Lake of the Dead

Mishra’s Factory

    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.
