News:
We had an emergency downtime! If you were online on the 21st at 8AM PST, you weren’t. This was to fix a nasty lag bug when entering a room.

New event entry options! The big secret of the last beta is out, and it’s a good one. the ‘join’ button is no more, now you need to select from a variable list. This enables such things as nix pax/tix to be one queue, being able to use booster packs or an unopened draft pack from the store and a variety of other useful ideas that make everyone’s life that little bit easier.

Slight revision to the B&R list! I’m delighted to report they passed down the Legacy unbanning of Time Spiral to Tribal Legacy. As of the last week’s downtime, refilling your hand and untapping your land is again an option in the creature format.

Prices:
Jace down to 85! Has the bubble burst?
Library at 8, Maze at 6, Workshop lots in stock at 18.50, Time Vault 4.50, Underground Sea 17.50. Duals picking up slightly, everything else down slightly.

Whatcha been playing?
AJ: Settlers of Catan on the PS3.
Keya: MED4 draft and Classic Oath.
Erik: Classic Workshop and MBC in Standard

Hafta say Keya you need a by Paul Leicht at Tue, 01/25/2011 - 03:01

Hafta say Keya you need a working microphone. Your responses are witty and fun but kill my ears every time the speaker goes crackle pop as you speak.

AJ I am a little jealous. I'd love to play that. I am sorry your pc isn't available yet though. I haven't been playing nearly as much since you've been absent.

RE: the Tribal b/r list...Moat is STILL banned???!! :( Not really maintaining it imho.

RE: Jace last year at this time Jace was the new card to Baneslayers topdog...do you remember the pattern? I think people could very well be preresponding to the new set, anticipating a new bomb to kill jace's popularity. Figure dipped slightly after F&L came out but it's been rising pretty steadily from 12ish to where it is now. But you can buy the F&L version for a bit less.

Stax as I remember it from way back is a tough deck. Tough to beat if you know it really well and tough to play with if you don't. The list you showed in the SoTP was interesting. Lots of 1 ofs (my kind of deck!)

I listen to the podcast ever week. Just want to say a big thank you for the excellent content. Keep up the good work guys - I am guessing there are heaps of people that listen and enjoy this week in week out but who never take the time to drop a little note to tell you how much they appreciate the service.

You are right. by Sheppy at Tue, 01/25/2011 - 09:54

You guys need theme music. something peppy that is about magic in some way. I don't know if any songs have ever been written about MTG, but this as good as a cause as you're going to get for the need for a mtg song. Great show as always, but yeah keya you gotta back away from that mic.

Slagstorm - I agree with you love for this card, but man, why is this thing rare? This thing reeks of uncommon. Fallout did two damage, this deals three so it becomes rare?

Thanks for the feedback by gamemaster32 at Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:40

Thanks for the feedback guys.I will go find an mic that will make it sound like you are listening to nothing but the best of oldies on magic 98.9 :D

I just got a new comp so I am trying work out some kinks with doing the podcast on it. I will try and get things fixed for next week.

There has got to be a magic song out there somewhere, if not I am sure some magic player can come up with some fresh, funky beats.

Theme Song Suggestion by bombwizzi702 at Tue, 01/25/2011 - 18:35

I can think of no other song that makes me think of Magic The Gathering more than B.O.B Feat.Rivers Cuomo - Magic. The Chorus is perfect!

Jace price by jake_antonetz at Tue, 01/25/2011 - 23:58

I think Jace's price is indeed actually related to Extended season, when it comes to extended jace doesn't compete well with cryptic command and jace is not a blue staple. I figure most people focusing on extended sold off all or some of their jaces for the duration of the season to pay for the other cards for their decks.

Anyways loved the cast, keep it up!
