   Since MTGS is currently down, I’ll post here…

   WOW! I have just three questions:
   1) What is the title/artist for that song at the end of the show?
   2) How do I get a decent mp3 of it?
   3) Can I get a lyric sheet?

   Nevermind, found it! For anyone else who wants it:

   And just to answer my own questions:
   1) “Shuffle ‘Em Up” by Tha Gatherin’
   2) Um, see above link.
   3) It’s a little easier to make out the lyrics on my home computer speakers (I was listening to the ‘cast in my car). But it would still be cool to see them written out, if the artist wants to share

   Great show this week, guys!

   Oh, one other thing. I don’t know if it’s just me, but has anyone ever mentioned to you guys that at the end of a lot of episodes, the dialogue somehow starts to mash together? For an example, take a listen to this week’s episode starting at about 55:00 … Tom asks if there are any upcoming tournaments for Derek, and as Derek starts to answer, you’ll hear what I mean.

   I don’t think this happens on EVERY episode, but it does happen a lot, and mostly only during the final few minutes of the show. I don’t really know what could cause this, but I thought I’d mention it since I didn’t know if you guys realized it, and it makes it very difficult to hear what you guys are talking about when it’s occurring.

   Otherwise, keep up the awesome work!

   Gavin’s Sweater:
   Think deception and distraction. Psyche out your opponent. Airbrush a decklist on your sweater and empasize cards you don’t mind losing, so opponents waste thier removal on your decoys. Make it reversible, flip it over for 3 mana, become Rainbow in the early game, if your opponents are gay they might scoop, but keep a pair of Nice Tits in your sideboard just in case: if blocked by Der Richter, Head of Fashion Police, fetch a Doctor’s Note (2 Green - Artifact: Judges ignore all cross-dressing). Play LSD Spray-Corsage, combo with Blinking Lights and Infrasonic Nausea Emitter. If Gavin’s Sweater is countered, you must play Magic instead.

   “Tell us about your first game of magic”:

   I was really excited to get my first Starter Pack. Then I threw them away, because I didn’t know anybody who played magic, and who would want to with all these stupid flowers, bits of jewlelry, and wierd mannequin people following Pac Man food up a hill to Stonehenge? … Who knew? … Ten years later I played my first game, I don’t remember it at all, but I do remember the first time I won, twelve games later: 4 Mourning Thrulls and 4 Faith’s Fetters. I won with 30 life to spare and I’ve lost every game since, but I’ve only played about 20 games total, even though I once owned some of the Power Nine.

   In my first FNM game (game 6?) I drafted a deck based around Gemhide Slivers, because I had never drafted before, I didn’t know the cards, and I hardly even knew the phases of the game, so I knew I had to have a versatile mana base to cover my drafting and deckbuilding mistakes I knew I wouldn’t know I was making. The deck was much better than my piloting.
