    Hi,
    just a quick feedback on your third show.
    That MUST have been the coolest MtG Interview ever recorded…
    When I first heard your interview partner respond with a child’s voice I thought this would be another of those curiosity interviews from MtG events where someone wants to let the world know about this cute kid / girl / whatever he ran into playing some tournament. But when it became clear that you were talking to your own son I thought “wow, that is really one of the best things that can happen to you as a parent”.
    I have three kids as well (still too young to play Magic with the complete rules, though) so I can guess what it must feel like to see one of your own children pick up the rules, play and even have some success competing against the big guys at FNM or the like.
    I do hope you enjoy playing with your son for a long time, and I’m looking forward to your next show (with or without expert commentary from the junior).
    Say hi to Connor (I hope I got the name right) and tell him to have fun - with his GW slivers your kid is already half way to being a Vintage champion if you look at the Hulk Flash decks that were played at the Invitational so I’m sure he’s got a great career ahead of him.
    Best regards from Germany, Klaus

    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.
