One-Year Anniversary Special

Posted on 13 March 2007 by Dominic Hodgson

Welcome to this Special Edition of Wednesday Write Up. This episode celebrates the one-year anniversary of the MTGCast Network! Dom, Tom, Gavin and Jesse have a roundtable discussion of the events of the last year and what’s to come. In light of the current MTG block out right now, we decided to divide the show into three sections - Past, Present, and Future!

Past - Time Spiral

Dom’s original intro for MTGCast (which is now MNM).

We then cover a brief timeline of the network, starting with episode #1 exactly one year ago up through to today.

Each host answers four questions that explain their history with MTGCast:

1) What’s your favorite moment on all of MTGCast?
2) How did you find MTGCast?
3) What made you want to become a host?
4) What has made you laugh the most on MTGCast?

Present - Planar Chaos

We thank our listeners for the huge increase in downloads over the last few weeks, mention our new forums, and of course our MSN (mtgcast@hotmail.com) and new voice mail line: (646) 797-3125.

As you know, the six-month anniversary spawned the MTGCast sister site, Roll To Hit and now the one-year anniversary likewise brings us the brand-new TableTopLand.com gaming news site!

Also announced are several shows to be appearing very soon on the network: Gaming with Gavin, Tapped Out (with TRB), Last Pick Combos (with Dom and Jesse), and an as-yet untitled show starring Chris Otwell. Dom also hints at some upcoming interviews with various MTG authors and/or artists, but he’s keeping the details a secret!

What’s to come - Future Sight

There will soon be 50 episodes of MNM and 100 episodes on the MTGCast Network in total!

Each host answers two more questions:

1) Where do you see MTGCast in a year?
2) Who would you most like to hear interviewed?

We talk about other upcoming events MTGCast will be appearing at, such as MTG Worlds ‘07 in New York, baby!

And of course, we thank our visitors to the site. Your listening and comments keep us all going!

    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.
