MTGCast Episode 71 - Giants, Goblins and Faeries, oh my!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
It’s all about Lorwyn this week with a whole bunch (164 when I’m typing this) of cards spoiled for Lorwyn and they look HOT. Please open up the unofficial Lorwyn spoiler over on MTGSalvation while we talk about this upcoming set. We pick our favorite Planeswalker, favorite new card mechanic or keyword, favorite card and our pick for the strongest card in the set. Listeners, email us your picks or comments!

Fact of Fiction
With the new Planeswalker card type and its use of Loyalty counters, will cards like Clockspinning, Doubling Season and Trickbind seem much more play?

Ah-Hoy! News
Preview card of the week: Seasick

MTGCast News
MTGCast.com has a new look and the feed (the same one as before) should be working again! Keep your eyes open as we catch up on the Roadwarrior Otwell show with releases on Tu / Thur / Sat. And we may have a new video podcast joining the mix AND hopefully the first “new” Gaming with Gavin.

Emails and Comments
Tom talks about a few he received and a great question about what is the most skill-based format outside of limited?

    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.
