Who Isn’t Dom Interviewing

Posted on 18 October 2006 by Dominic Hodgson

Monday Night Magic - Episode 28 - ‘Who isn’t Dom interviewing?’
You’ve read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!

Gavin is gone again this week, so it is just Dom and Tom.

Magic News
Magic Academy is searching for a writer to keep the article going on magicthegathering.com. WotC is also planning a large clean up of creature types that will take place over the next year. WotC is also starting a new series of tournaments called ‘City Championships’ in the United States, but these are old-hat to players in Italy. Did Gavin make up a Time Spiral card?

Dom is interviewing basically everyone who works at WotC at the upcoming Worlds in Paris. Scheduled and confirmed interviews are: Brian David-Marshall, Mark Rosewater, Randy Buehler, John Avon, Rob Alexander. Dom will also be interviewing Scott McGough, author of the latest Time Spiral novel, and would love for listeners to submit some questions!

WWRW? (What Will Rosewater Write?)
Tom thinks MR will write more about the upcoming City Champhionships and the response those tournies have had in Italy where they have been running since 1999. Dom plays the safe bet and thinks MR will talk more about the Great Designer Search. Gavin is not here to defend himself, so his guess is that MR will talk about cute, furry kittens.

Ah-Hoy!
Preview Card of the week is Forbidden Tiki and we also discuss a new artifact creature type, ‘Ship’, and it’s keyword ability ‘Structure’. Gavin also submits a ‘preview’ card of his own design.

    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.
