“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

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

This Week in Magic
UltraPro has announced (and we have seen) some new Planeswalker-themed and Shadowmoor-themed playmats, deck boxes, and folders. A new flier for the Shadowmoor prerelease (and release) tournaments has been spotted with some new art and a cool new “Theme Deck” Challenge. The first Shadowmoor preconstructed deck, Mortal Coil, shows a look at some new dark U/B merfolk-esque art. Demigod of Revenge is the official pre-release promo!

And the October 2008 magic set code-named “Rock” has been spoiled on the official Wizards site and is called “Shards of Alara“! Check out more info, the expansion symbol at the official wizards link.

User Corner
A cool email about some organized Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH) at a local card store, Misty Mountain Games. And a bunch of good suggestions for EDH decks and commanders from listeners!

    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.
