Posted on 19 December 2007 by Tommy

This Week in Magic
The 2007 Player of the Year is Tomoharu Saito! And just in case you just awoke from hibernation, the 2007 World Champion is Uri Peleg. Winner of GP Stuttgart is Shuhei Nakamura and here are the top 8 decklists.

Morningtide Mojo
The official Morningtide mini-site is up and it is HOT! Web card previews run 1/7 - 1/18, mini-site content will be update on 1/9 and 1/16 and has nice high-quality images of the 5 Morningtide cards played in the multiplayer tournament at Worlds. Four new token art images have been posted, looking like a Faerie, Giant, Treefolk or Elemental or Changeling and perhaps a Planeswalker. Another white kithkin card with the ability to put creatures into play attacking has also been spotted.

Emails, Comments and COMMENT CONTEST!
The winner this week of the Legends Presence of the Master is … Charm_Master3125!

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).

Since there were 50+ comments over the past few weeks, I have given away a super special Worlds prize pack to a randomly selected entry … Congratulations to billythefridge!

Now, if there are 75+ comments in one week on an episode, Tom will give away an Italian Legends Mirror Universe to a randomly-selected entry!

This week’s question is: How or when did you learn to play MTG or who taught you!
Prize of the week: Signed Voidslime!

    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.
