Hey guys, great cast.
FYI, I played Toast at states and went 3-3 and dropped. Lost to mono-red, the mirror and a terrible Faeries pilot. Esperlark just seems fun, I played next to it all day.
I’ve played a lot of Shards Sealed recently online so I think I’m prepared for this weekend’s PTQ. I haven’t drafted as much though. I really like Blister Beetle :). Where is it on your list of mono-colored two drops? Visionary and Cylian Elf are good. Dragon Fodder is good if you’re in the Devour Archetype. Same thing with the artifact banneret if you’re in Esper.
As far as being a fan, I like James and Rob too :p. But the poker/magic idea seems good, but my poker friends don’t play magic :(. I’m a really good omaha player though.
You guys should do more play by play analysis on the show. I remember earlier in the year you were talking about Jeremiah Wilson vs. Nick Bonham. Stuff like that and more Rob being terrible with Demigod in his hand would be great.
Thanks.

“tralala”…wow this podcast is emotionally scarring… great podcast guys!
-14 year old that started listening to your podcast at episode#2, did not know of the horrors, but is now addicted…

Glad that I can get my Husker updates from this cast!!!
For the record, I’ll say I’m a James fan. Do you think that an Esper/Scourglass deck has any validity in standard? I think one of the SCG guys posted some version of this and even though I haven’t been to a Standard tourney for a while I like the Esper stuff a lot, so I want to know what you guys think of this as a possible strategy.

rob great ha dont make me laugh hes a red playing ubernoob . ow my sealled was so bad even though i got a flaimblast dragon
November 18th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Damnit Allan! A documented James fan was supposed to be a myth.

Lo Siento, is it possible to delete or edit the post?
November 18th, 2008 at 4:27 am
Once the post has been accepted by 1 of the 2 Moderators, then it gets published on here. Once published, it can only be deleted by the 2 of us, and not by anyone else.

I just noticed this, but why are this and the last cast sharing a title>? lol
November 18th, 2008 at 7:18 am
Oops… Fixed.
November 18th, 2008 at 7:24 am
Lol nice!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Just to let you guys know, all the meta tags on your mp3 files show up as Micheal Jackson’s Blood on the dance floor. Not a big deal, but jsut thought you guys should know

MJ is just that awesome.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
“Learn it up Newbs! Next Round.”
I was driving with a coworker listening to my iPod when Conley screamed that out. I got a weird look when I started laughing.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Rob is my favorite host. James and Conley needs to go for a year not playing blue or control. that will teach them the power of aggro. As for guests i like alex lee better then reynolds with conley coming in last. reynolds is just weird and conley plays control so he cant be good
November 19th, 2008 at 3:15 am
I think you need integrate Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch into the show somehow…
November 19th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Loving the cast as usual guys. I was quite surprised to hear my voicemail re-aired and then commented on once again. That puppy is getting some serious play. Props on all the solid commentary and hilarious off-topic diversions; strippers and beer indeed gentlemen. You should definitely make up that South Park related avatar and put all your heads on it. Almost pissed my pants at the “Learn it up Newbs!” comment, along with several others made by Conley.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:32 am
Oops, almost forgot to mention that Rob is terrible. His verbal contributions make me think my time would be better spent running off and touching my tra-la-la than listening to his mind-numbingly shitty commentary. Much love!

Here’s a great avatar for MSB:

I couldn’t put Rob in it because we never get a description of Rob, other than that he eats out of the garbage. It’s all good, James pretty much pilots the bus solo and everyone else is just along for the ride. As much as I do think Reynolds is funny, as for hosts I have to vote for Cagle.
So on Otwell’s cast, around the 11:50 mark he talks about James registering a deck and then someone asks how many times they think he’ll get caught cheating. Sounds like there’s a story behind it. What’s up with that? lol
November 19th, 2008 at 6:17 am
that southpark thing is f-ing amazing. Honestly, Rob is very similar. Dark Brown Hair, a little flatter than that. My hair is styled, his is more combed. You got the suit right for me…Rob is more of a casual aspect of shorts or jeans and a t shirt. He should have the beer…I should have a martini like drink….and throw a stripper up on me.
November 19th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I’m not sure who my favorite host is. Definitely not Reynolds, that guy is an ass-hat. Both Rob and Cagle are too politically liberal for me to take seriously and all Conley wants to do is talk about magic.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:14 am
HOLY SHIT PODCAST FROM CASA BONITA!!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 8:14 am
OH…I see what you did there^
November 19th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Here is a Bad Beat. My friend at GP atlanta had a girl praying to God outloud to let her win. Then he drew 7 lands in a row and lost the round.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Here’s my second go at it. There aren’t much options for fixing up hair and I’m kind of shooting in the dark here.

Great cast guys as always.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Sooo i was looking at the DCI ratings page, and James Cagle has a limited Rating of 1682? What do you draft my friend? Apperantly You should start drafting Rob Schermyer[SIC] poop or something man. Rob is god, James is alright. Conley has good metaphors. Casa Bonita has terribad food man, Cagle is right, you dont go for food, you go for the entertainment. Hell, there is better mexican resturants on Federal.
November 20th, 2008 at 2:30 am
Oh man, Jensen…so close. The hair you had for me the first time was almost balls on accurate. The hair you have for me in the second one is not bad for Rob…Make stripper blond and that is GG.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Hey Chris, do you know where episode 27 went? When you click on MSB it isn’t listed among the past shows.
Also Jensen..for you having not seen either of these 2, I have to say that is absolutely incredible lol
November 20th, 2008 at 7:34 am
What do you mean, Conley? I see it just fine. You might want to look again…
November 20th, 2008 at 7:34 am
BTW: Conley, I’m a fan of yours as well. Much more so than Rob or Matt.
November 20th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Alright I see it now. and thanks lol.. kinda weird to hear that from someone I know but I’ll take it.
Good luck with finding your groove again.
November 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I think Jensen should get a prize for his work :).

Few quick things. First off, great podcast as always. I am now hooked and can easily declare you guys the best podcast on MtGcast (with 2nd going to EoT). Also, for the record, I’m a Conley fan but Rob is a close 2nd. Finally, I’m glad Rob understood what I meant about Goblin Deathraiders. By no means am I saying that the card is in anyway, “unplayable” or even “bad”. I’m merely saying that it is overhyped in Sealed (obviously not draft because you should usually be able to draft the removal to support it) but in Sealed, it’s mediocre to good. Not amazing. Of course, this is partially biased because of the bad beats I’ve taken while using it during the release events on MTGO.
Oh yea, if possible could you guys do a segment on the upcoming Extended season? If not though, Limited information is always good ^^.
