Just A Quicky

Posted on 29 November 2006 by Dominic Hodgson

Due to technical problems this show is just a quick 15 minute recap of the week’s Magic news, a normal show will resume after Worlds.

Tom has left us this week, but Gavin and Dom give a quick round up of This Week In Magic.

Lots of Time Spiral this week. First up, a Planar Chaos booster image was revealed! http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=59566

We also have kind of a red maybe black picture of Akroma http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=59436

According to an unnamed Mischievous source, the official 2HG Draft rules are due out on Friday….. just in time to correlate with Worlds.

Last week we talked about how Fire//Ice was the FNM card for December. Well, we now have the picture, and it looks quite nice!

Oh, and also, there’s the small thing of Dom’s heading out in just a few hours to go to Worlds. Catch all of the action hopefully every day as Dom battles all odds to podcast in Paris!

We recorded this podcast yesterday and it was really good, but unfortunately, Gavin’s mike had some issues and he came out really quiet. If you want to listen to that show, you can find it here: http://mnm.mtgcast.com/audio/33-woops.mp3 (You’ll need to turn up your volume to hear Gavin)

    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.
