    I think the biggest problem you guys have is talking over each other. It’s almost like you don’t really know who is the host and who is the co-host. Maybe Andrew should take the lead on things and then Ansai could chime in when he is done or vice-versa. Every time you interrupt each other there is an uncomfortable pause while you try to figure out who is speaking next.

    Other than that I enjoy listening to your show. The top 5 lists are fun and you both seem to know what you are talking about.

    Ya, I think we talk over each other too much as well. Part of the problem is that skype has a delay since we’re in different cities, but also because we both love to talk.

    Thanks for the advice!

    just wanted to say that i like the show but i think that when you 2 do the debates you should both have a different side to the argument, so far ive found that to be the worst part about your podcast, other then taht no complaints keep tryin to find your voice.

    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.
