Monday Night Magic #76: Ruel, Fruitcake Elementals and Worlds 2007!

MTGCast Episode 76 - Ruel, Fruitcake Elementals and Worlds 2007!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
MTGSalvation’s down-time lead to some pretty wild speculations from full Shadowmoor spoilers to WoTC conspiracies. Tom’s favorite Pro Player, Olivier Ruel, was disqualified at GP Brisbane after some kind of sunglasses incident. The second season of City Champs 2007-2008 will start in November! Some card scans of the supposed State Champs alternate art cards and the question is: fake or not? Worlds 2007 in New York City is coming up December 6-9 and is now up on the main Magic website. Also, a rather odd web comic about the Planeswalker, Chandra, is up on the main Magic website.

It’s true, Tom finally got a Fruitcake Elemental in the mail and he can’t be more proud. Check out his excitement in these pics of his shock and bliss. Also, a big thank you to this week’s donator, Jim Zwers! We also mention some upcoming network additions and perhaps a new episode of the Manacast!

The winner this week of the Unlimited Jade Statue is … Pringlesman!

This is a new weekly contest where I announce a question on the podcast, you post a response (or story) on the MTGSalvation forum for replies to the episode and you can win a card hand-selected from Tom’s large collection (and winner is announced on the next week’s show).

    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.
