MTGCast Episode 63 - Summer of Magic and Lorwyn Tidbits!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”

This Week in Magic
Magic Game Day has come and past and the hosts talk about the tourney and how much loot they won. Wizards announces the “Summer of Magic”, a series of limited format tournaments that allow players to win cool foil promo versions of Faerie Conclave and Treetop Village! More Lorwyn info with card scans of the Lorwyn basic lands included into the 2-player starter 10th Edition packs and scans of the Lorwyn and Morningtide novels (check out the logo!) penned by Cory Herndon (YES!) and Scott McGough. We also explore a piece of Magic history with the link to the archive of The Magic Dojo.

Fact or Fiction
Rumors that Lorwyn will heavily feature Tribal (e.g. Tribal spells like a “Goblin Sorcery”), an evolution theme and feature Tribal lords!

    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.
