#10 - 2008 July 01 - The Magic School Bus #10 - James Cagle and Robert Schiermeyer - Block Season

Posted on 02 July 2008 by Christopher E. Otwell

The block season is upon us and it is a good one. Rob and James talk a little about block and the decks that are impacting the format. We go over the comprehensive rules regarding game states with the card Mirrorweave. We also cover some of the cards that will be released in Eventide.

We, too, need to mention the themagicschoolbus2k8@gmail.com is no longer working for reasons that we can not figure out.

The new email address is the themagicschoolbus2k8@rocketmail.com.

    Howdy, yea Im out in Chicago now… and yes I did money at Indy, ended up playing Brett Piazza in the final round of day 2, and rather than risk one of us getting more money and the other losing money, we I.D.ed and each took home some cash. Good cast though, and lemme know if u guys are coming out for nationals… I map quested the venue and its about a 30 minute drive from my house, so you guys have a place to stay if wanted, hit me back. Take care.

    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.
