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

This Week in Magic
Some updates on MTGO III and the current version II.5. More in-depth discussion of bots on MTGO and some changes to the MTGO economy along with info about the extremely useful Infobot! We discuss another program to play magic online called OCTGN and announce we will be hosting the program for download. Tom’s expensive card of the week is the $150 Grim Tutor. The winner of GP Stockholm is Nicolay Potovin, congratulations! Gavin also gives some newly announced cards for 10th edition including Kamahl, Pit Fighter, Time Stretch and Gaea’s Herald and you can read the rest at the unofficial Xth spoiler on MTGSalvation.

Dom is busy moving, getting his broadband and improving MTGCast and can’t join us this week and let’s the boys do this show all by themselves. Sinborn writes a nice post about the new Zombies from FS for standard play. Episode 2 of Tapped Out! is available for listening and we will soon have up the first three episodes of “The Djinn’s Playground”. We also proudly announce that “The Magic Sock” will be joining the MTGCast network, awesome news from Dom and Ron!

Ah-Hoy! is ever closer to becoming the full set and the next step is playtesting to cut out the cardboard chaff and get a feel for what is missing, you can read more on this thread.

    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.
