This Week in Magic
Bill Stark joins us and fills us in on more of the story regarding the hoopla on MTGia.com last week. WoTC releases some nice YouTube videos explaining the new Shadowmoor mechanics and the Rules Primer is live. And we talk of our Shadowmoor Prerelease experiences, which cards seem fantastic and took us off guard. Check out the alternate art promo Char and the upcoming May FNM promo Pendelhaven. Rumors are circulating regarding the apparent misprint on the foil Shadowmoor Reflecting Pool with a white mana symbol, are there other mana symbols to be found? Last and not least, MTGO v3 is live and has experienced some major server problems, both Chris and Bill have been able to play some and give their thoughts.

Also check out the announcement regarding the new “Wizards Play Network“!

    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.
