Magic News
December FNM card is going to be Fire // Ice. We also talk about the changes to the “Christmas crap pack” where the playmat has been removed and replaced with a picture of a playmat on a t-shirt. We are not kidding. We also discuss the rapid pace and latest results of the Great Designer Search.

Article or Magic Moment of the Week
Tom - One of my first ever ‘real’ decks, my W/R Armageddon deck. Back in the days of unlimited. It thrived on getting a Sol Ring into play, a Consecrate Land on a Plateau and then ‘Geddon away everything else. Also featured Lightning bolt, Swords to Plowshares, Wrath of God and Jade Statue (with the good art) for the eventual kill.

Gavin - ” Deck with Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Brine Elemental sent to him by ‘… Brian David-Marshall!

Stump the Chump
Scott McGough is feature in which Magic card’s art?

Fact or Fiction

* a black counter spell that says “counter target spell unless the spell’s caster pays 4 life”
* a Time Walk for black that says “take another turn after then next unless an opponent pays half their life”
* a Magus of the Coffers (Cabal Coffers) that doubles black mana from swamps!

Format of the Week
Iron Man Magic - Basic gist is that any card that goes to the graveyard is ripped up into very non-valuable pieces.

    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.
