Monday Night Magic #86: Two Doms are better than one!

Posted on 08 January 2008 by Tommy

We are brought to you by MTGMintCard.com and TrollAndToad.com!

This Week in Magic
First, we are joined by a special guest, Bateleur (aka “Dom #2″) from MTGS! Scans of the Shadowmoor novel have been found. PTQ’s for PT Hollywood have begun, the official page is up on WoTC and Gavin gives a few tips. The 9-pocket portfolios have been spotted for sale from Morningtide.

Morningtide Mojo
We are up to 86/150 cards on the unofficial MTGS Morningtide spoiler. All four of us each walk through 3 cards (12 total) that have us excited and talk a bit more about the nitty-gritty of the set. We also have a return of the Combo of the Week with Morningtide! Make sure to check out the official spoiler at WoTC with a bunch of nice card scans and includes the latest - Rhys the Exiled, Leaf-Crowned Elder, and Oona’s Blackguard. And make sure to check out the very anticipated (including the art) of Maralen of the Mornsong.

Morningtide Combos of the Week
Tom: Maralen of the Mornsong + Aven Mindcensor
Dom #2: Crafty Pathmage + Indomitable Ancient + Doran, the Siege Tower or Crookclaw Transmuter
Gavin: Shard Volley + Flagstones of Trokair

    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.
