MNM #72: O-ring and Pre-release Hints!

“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
Lorwyn is almost here with pre-releases coming up this weekend, so make sure to check out the spoiler on MTGsalvation which currently has 242 of 301 cards! Gavin fancies Jace Beleren as his pick for best Planeswalker. Gavin thinks that Changeling is one of the best keywords, but is most excited to see how Planeswalker shakes things up. Favorite cards of the week are Tom with Ameboid Changeling, Dom with Guile, and Gavin with Colfernor’s Plans. Strongest card sees Thoughtseize getting two votes and Mistblind Clique with one, and Thoughtseize is shaping to perhaps be THE chase rare for set, being playable in all formats. The hosts also agree that Boggart Hoodlums are very, very poopy. The Lorwyn life counter has been spotted and looks nice. Also, an interesting Japanese foil promo alternate art Mogg Fanatic has been spotted. Gavin also gives us some tips for playing sealed for this weekend. Please email or comment your thoughts and we will bring them all together for next week’s show - and next week’s show will be coming out on Tuesday. This way, we can get you all of the Pre-release goodness. Also, send us your photos, video, thoughts from your pre-release for the next episode!

    you guys said my comment so that was great, so I said, why not keep submitting? so here I am, submitting my two sense again. If you haven’t seen my show you can see all 488 episodes or so at youtube.com/cardproffessor, we are planning to submit a show in the next week or so, (we are the people at the proffessors, yes we know we spelled professor wrong….Its a tradename I guess) and we do have permission to film at our release tournament, but we are at the moment still having technichal difficulties and were wandering, 1.does anyone have a suggestion on what video/audio program would be good to use,2. can I submit my own cards that I’ve made, and 3. if I do make an audio podcast, what format should I save it in, this has NOT been a spamming message but was from the cardproffessor. If anyone knows the answer to any of these questions please contact me at cardproffessore@yahoo.com
    -hope you watch my new show coming soon on mtgcast (hopefully) the cardproffessor

    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.
