MTGCast Episode 68 - Lorwyn and More-wyn!
\”You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!\”

This Week in Magic
Tons of Lorwyn info, card previews and art to feast your eyes (and ears) on this week. First, it is confirmed that Lorwyn is a tribal set and that Planeswalker is a new permanent type with a mana cost and everything. The Planeswalker mini-site is live and the great explorers at MTGSalvation have already uncovered all five of the planeswalkers in this thread. We have a ton of Lorwyn artwork (links 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) and high-res images of the english pre-cons and booster packs.

The most exciting news is the preview of 5 cards in the latest issue of Scrye with card scans!
- Wrens Run Packmaster
- Epic Proportions
- Fodder Launch
- Fallowsage
- Galepowder Mage

The full spoiler (text and visual) for Master\’s Edition is out and it looks to be a strange, strange mix. We also have a peak at the coverage of GenCon 2007 with the announcement of D&D 4 and more! Also, checkout a screenshot of the upcoming Gleemax Alpha.

    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.
