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

This Week in Magic
It’s all about Shadowmoor this week with tons of new cards in the unofficial Shadowmoor spoiler on MTGSalvation. All the hosts pick a few cards they particular like or are afraid to see in play. We also tip our hat to WoTC and their new promotional strategy for Shadowmoor with surprising some FNM’s with a Shadowmoor booster! The Shadowmoor pre-release playmats are looking sharp. Mark Rosewater also hints at enemy-color hybrid mana cards in Eventide in his latest article.

And THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! For episode #100, it will be LIVE and we will be spoiling our very own Shadowmoor preview card available no where else! You can listen LIVE and chat with us via Talkshoe.

    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.
