MTGCast Episode 50 - The second set of Lorwyn is Morningtide!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
GP Massachusetts is finishing up right now. Wizards has announced that “Butter”, the second set of the Lorwyn block will be called Morningtide. Wonder has been announced as the FNM card for May. Some juicy DCI tidbits including a humerous discussion of the new ways to get DQ’d (pages 21′ish of the DCI Penalty Guideline PDF) and a judges page to look all the DQ’d players and why they were DQ’d! And a quick review to some feedback of the Sliver Legion FS card discussed in the last episode.

Magic in the News
New occasional segment highlighting any mention of MTG in the conventional media, read a hard hitting story of magic tournies and the people who sell cards featured in the Worcester Telegram.

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.
