MTGCast Episode 56 - GLEEMAX INSISTS YOU LISTEN NOW
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
Gleemax is the talk of the week after a strange marketing campaign by WoTC sending out foam brains that say “MOCTODSDRAZIWTAXAMEELG”. Rumors abound involving Gleemox on MTGO, you can email Gleemax at gleemax@wizards.com, see the Gleemax wikipedia page and read more at the mtgsalvation thread! Future Sight comes out on MTGO on Tuesday. OCTGN.org launches from MTGCast.com as a new home for the OCTGN card playing program. It is “Sneak Peak Week” on Magicthegathering.com and they hint at the possibility of a new (sub-standard) web comic. A great Magic Academy article of booster drafting is up for you to peruse. Regionals are this weekend and Gavin plans to attend this constructed tourney. Hulk-Flash combo dominates GP Columbus.

MTGCast News
A whole bunch of new episodes up on the MTGCast network and includes a fourth episode of “More with Magic”, yes!!!

Ah-Hoy! News
Darksys92 has been busy with an updated Ah-Hoy! set download for use with latest Magic Set Editor and instructions on how to use Ah-Hoy! with full card images in OCTGN! Darksys92 also started a forum thread for creating Ah-Hoy! decks and combos.
Preview card of the week: Dustafar (not so popular apparently)

Emails and Comments
Sinborn is awesome for thinking Tribal is awesome!

Tribal Time with Tom
Talk about “Tribal Wars” for MTGO (standard rules, other rules). Tribe of the week is Nomads and check out my decklist! I also want more tribe ideas from the listeners and plan to talk about the “Construct” tribe deck by Sinborn in a future episode! And kudos to everyone for the positive feedback on this segment.

Stump the Chump
Mutantman sends in a combo with Leashling, Ghost Town and Yet Another Aether Vortex. Does it work?

    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.
