Monday Night Magic #85: The Good, The Bad, and the British!

Posted on 31 December 2007 by Tommy

This Week in Magic
Quick spotlight on a promising open-source program for online magic play that has similar rules enforcement to MTGO called Firemox (Java based and can run on most platforms - sorry OS/2 users). Two new Japanese Juniors foil promos with the crazy starburst foil - Elvish Champion and Glorious Anthem. The questionable Morningtide cards mentioned last week were FAKE (but hey, it was fun) and we have a bunch of REAL Morningtide info this week!

Morningtide Mojo
Four new cards spoiled on the official WoTC site and they look great (Sage of Fables, Wolf-Skull Shaman, Supreme Exemplar, Rustic Clachan)! We discuss the pros/cons and potential uses and the undeniable awesomeness that is Wolf-Skull Shaman. A bunch of other new cards seen in different magazines and are now up on the MTGS unofficial spoiler. Three Morningtide posters with lots of card names have been sent to stores highlighting three classes - Rogue, Warrior and Shaman, this confirms the return of Boldwyr Intimidator and the rumors are already rampaging about the return of Tarmogoyf. Worth reading the card names to see some of the truly bizarre (and assumed Boggart) card names like Squeaking Pie Grubfellow, Earwig Squad, Auntie’s Snitch (NOT Snatch) and more. Also some proof of a “Banneret” cycle. We also mention the little fact that MTGO v3 comes out in 28 days - check out the countdown on the MTGO page!

    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.
