    Djinn,
    I must say. WHAT A SHOW! Thank you so much for bringing up issues that should not be but are…taboo! I run a community gaming event and for awhile a few months back, I had to put up a sign that reminded our players to do a B.O. CHECK. Can you believe that I once saw someone walk in (he was a large unkempt individual), read the sign, and walk back out. Wondering whether he was leaving or staying, I peeked out the door and observed him perform some unknown activity in his very small pickup and saunter back in smelling of Old Spice spray-on deodorant.

    Isn’t it sad that one must be reminded of the fact that they are repugnant and need to take what’s called a “shower”.

    Thank you for bringing up the issue.

    For those of you who are in this group of repugnant individuals, know that YES, WE CAN SMELL YOU! Please be considerate of those of us who go out of our way to smell AND ACT pleasant! The way you smell says a lot about you. It also shows that you are meticulous. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they keep themselves. And at times, the way that they play Magic reflects this as well. Beware the individual that looks like he put thought into his appearance and smell. He may very well be meticulous enough to pwn you!

    Thanks again, Djinn.

    Man I listened to all 30 minutes. I didn’t even realize you had a cold in San Jose or I forgot as I have terrible short-term memory. Man you and Paige owned us good at that 2HG Prerelease…maybe I’ll get you back at the GP!

    Nice Podcast and keep making more!

    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.
