Mark Rosewater also teases us with some more Shadowmoor rumors in his latest article. More promo goodness with a DCI alternate art Cenn’s Tactician spotted. Jon Finkel is back and wins PT Kuala Lumpur - read more of the official coverage including video.

And Tom has a brand new press release from WoTC regarding an announcement at the GDC that they have officially teamed up with two game publishers to produce Magic-branded games on Xbox Live Arcade, PC and Mac!

User Corner
We have a “Stump the Chump” and something about Chris Ross.

Tom goes over some interesting tidbits about the truly international flavor of MTGCast listeners. Tom plays some Standard over the weekend and we talk strategy. And Gavin is in the finals of the PTQ Seattle!

Emails, Comments and COMMENT CONTEST!
The winner this week of the foil Contested Cliffs is … mudbuck!

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). Also, if there are 100+ comments in one week on an episode, Tom will give away a Mana Crypt to a randomly-selected entry!

This week’s question is: Do you like a mix of casual / tourney coverage or would you prefer more tourney / strategy talk?

    I’m primarily a tourney player but I listen to this podcast for the more casual perspective of Magic. I especially loved Tribal Time with Tom and Ah-Hoy when they were around.

    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.
