Posted on 04 December 2007 by Tommy

This Week in Magic
This is your chance to be the CBS Early Show and help Wizards show off M:TG on TV and get some free stuff! Here is the MTGSal thread and please email pr.wizards@gmail.com (yes, this is the official address). DCI Banned and Restricted list updated on Dec 1st and mainly makes it that new sets are legal for constructed the day they are released AND banning of cards with Transmute in many MTGO formats. Look out for the Extended format at GP Vienna on March 15-16th. Tribal Wars promos announced: Elvish Lyrist for bringing a friend and Coat of Arms for winning! New Players Rewards promos seen: Damnation, Tidings and Incinerate. The January FNM promo will be Remand (and Force of Will will be a judge promo)! Try out some Cubing at Worlds 2007 if you are around. Also check out “Limited Infinity” or “Type Four”, another alternate draft format like Cubing where you have a pile of rare cards, draft decks and infinite mana - read the rules!

Morningtide Mojo
Bunch of Morningtide info in one concise spot and 21 new art pics for you to examine thoroughly.

MTGCast News
Tom is going to Worlds 2007!!! Thanks to the generosity of some MTGCast listeners, Tom is going to Worlds 2007 in NYC on Saturday and Sunday. If you want to meet a podcasting legend, just send him an email and you can exchange cell phone numbers. He plans to play in some Tribal Wars and is looking for your comments on which deck to play (decklists will be posted shortly) and what he should bring to Worlds! Here is the list of public events for Worlds 2007. MTGCast is up to a respectable 11 votes for the “Article of the Year” and congrats to the amazing Cranial Insertion team who is in the lead.

Emails, Comments and COMMENT CONTEST!
The winner this week of the foil Scourge Undead Warchief is … zipmaster!

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). Also, if there are 50+ comments in one week on an episode, Tom will give away his Fruitcake Elemental to a randomly-selected entry!

And yes, there were 60 comments so the Fruitcake Elemental is being given away and the winner is …. Japoniano!

This week’s question is: What is your best / worst / coolest / funkiest / unique trade of all time (please, please no “I ripped off a little kid” stories)!
Prize of the week: Presence of the Master from Legends with the crazy Albert Einstein art!

    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.
