Freed from the Real is brought to you each week by www.mtgotraders.com and www.puremtgo.com!

News:
Lots and lots of Rise of the Eldrazi spoilers from our good friends at www.mtgsalvation.com!  It looks like WotC is pushing the theme really hard with all sorts of crazy Eldrazi Spawn tokens and some level up shenanigans in the common slots.  Should make for a very interesting limited format for sure!

Urza's Saga Release events are done, but fret not!  There will be more with the next to expansions; in case you missed this one...

Also, the dates for the 2010 Community Cup have been announced but no news yet on WHO will be attending... best of luck to one and all!

Prices:
Legacy, Legacy, Legacy.  Lion's Eye Diamond continues to rise, as does Wasteland and most of the the other Legacy staples.  Hard to say where it will all end....

Whatchya been playin'?:
AJ- Moat? Yep!  And of course, some new concoction of doom and dismay!
Erik - Mono Red Burn and LD after a horrible showing with Standard U/R Traps.

Nihilism ftw? I have to say I by Paul Leicht at Wed, 04/14/2010 - 11:34

Nihilism ftw? I have to say I don't miss untimed games. People walking away from their keyboards without a word...That said, that requirement is silly. The card should not trigger that clause.

Im not an equipment maven but Warmonger's Chariot!!! check that out. Walls that attack out of nowhere. :/ (the 2 cost 3/3 red guy fits this criteria) Could make life in limited interesting. As in 'may you live in interesting times.'

Devastating Summons + Armageddon = wow. Not quite the same as Zuran Orb but far more devastating (as per the name). Could be key in eternal to keep those Eldrazi off the table.

RE: Mythics. I don't mind that as long as some mythics end up in the junk bin where they rightfully belong so I can pick them up cheaply.

IS Legacy catching on? I was kind of hoping not because all of those cards that have been rising are insanely overpriced according to my budget. I hope some day they won't be.

I have to say I didn't enjoy the Hellion deck at all. No sir...very quickly it messed me over. Didn't like that much. I do think it is a good idea, I did Phoenices last week but then decided they were a bit too weak for the PRE because while they sweep they don't do so as consistently as I want.

I kind of like playing Coalition. I just wish it had more battlemages.

Fun cast guys as per usual.

Glad to see I'm not the only Terry Pratchett fan here :)

Heh I find it hard to believe by Paul Leicht at Thu, 04/15/2010 - 12:37

Heh I find it hard to believe there are less than 100% Terry Pratchett fans in any gathering of Magic players. That said, not sure what I said that channels him. :p

I think you have Lion's Eye Diamond confused with Mox Diamond, unless of course I am missing something. I'm pretty sure the only LED we're getting is from Mirage sadly to say.
