Monday Night Magic #89: What do you mean they want a union?

Posted on 29 January 2008 by Tommy

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

This Week in Magic
In response to the change in PT prize structure, Raphael Levy started a forum called the MTG Players Union. Gavin and Derek talk more in depth about what a Pro Tour means to a CCG and if this really impacts magic as a whole. Mark Tedin and Anson Maddocks will be signing cards at the upcoming GP Vancouver. New big banner ads have appeared on Magicthegathering.com, rumors abound of larger financial concerns.

User Corner
Planar_Guide posts how the PT prize changes are making him consider a redirection towards judging. Sieg101 lets Tom know that Gifts Given can be found for ~$20. Some awesome altered art by Billythefridge. And drmungmung wonders why we can’t buy a real-life plushy doll from the Black Vise / Stuffy Doll cards!

Stump the Chump
It’s back and we have a two-part Morningtide question, watch out Gavin!

    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.
