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

Talking about Worlds with Tom
It is all about Worlds 2007 in NYC this week and Tom was on-site for Saturday and Sunday with goes through all of the nitty gritty details AND talks about some of the awesome interviews to keep an eye out for in the next few days (*cough* Rosewater AND Forsythe *cough*). Some Morningtide cards were “spoiled” as the WoTC staff playing in the multiplayer mayhem tournament on Sunday at Worlds each had a different Morningtide cards in their decks! Check out the unofficial spoiler on MTGSalvation. Other cool cards spotted around the convention hall included “Gifts Given” - the latest holiday promo and could be earned at the Gunslingers table AND some crazy alternate frame 8th Edition test prints - these must be seen to be believed!

A new judge promo for 2008 has been announced and it truly like printing money - the promo is Force of Will. Take a part in the “Great MTGSalvation Holiday Magic Card Exchange” (started by our own Gavin) where you can exchange one or more personally altered magic cards!

    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.
