MTGCast Episode 55 - Is Flash going to kill Vintage or Legacy?
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
Some Future Sight MTGO avatars have been announced and one seems to be in the same vein as Momir! Wrath of God has been confirmed in 10th Edition and will be sexy in black borders. USPS price hike may impact card sellers shipping cards in the United States. Ultra Pro has shown some 10th Edition products with updated art for Diabolic Tutor and Knight of Dusk! The FNM promo for June is Goblin Legionnaire. Gavin explains the nuts and bolts of the new Legacy/Vintage deck revolving around the now non-errated Flash and Protean Hulk and threatening to severely derail the vintage/legacy formats.

Vintage:	All magic sets (except Unglued and Unhinged) Banned and Restricted card lists

Legacy:	All magic sets (except Unglued and Unhinged) Banned card list

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.
