First Mythic: Geist of Saint by Alternate at Thu, 10/13/2011 - 13:20
Alternate's picture

First Mythic: Geist of Saint blah. Tons of removal, and a lot of good blue and white and a ton of great red.

Oh and Masques is coming back. RISHIDAN PORT'S FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

So comes the inevitable conversation.... Which of these three is the best:

1) Wasteland
2) Rishidan Port
3) Dust Bowl.

+ rebels, Bribery, Thrashing Wumpus, the mongers, and a ton of other fun cards.

Alternate's picture

Thrashing Wumpus is the biggest bomb ever. (Love the card, but I am being facetious - Google it)

It's just sad that the 2 other sets after Masques are so terrible. But I bet that Rishidan port will be worth some money. If I'm right though the second set had Blastoderm? I don't remember too well. It was one of the last blocks I played.

I want them to bring back Invasion so I can get some Undermine's or Absorbes.

I don't much care about other people's opinions on the card, it is a personal favorite. And imho it IS a bomb. (Why would I need to google it????)

I mean for people reading if they didn't know what the word "facetious" meant. Haha. Not to you.

Just to point out, my blue deck is a prototype for a snapcaster build. Hence all the instant card drawing.
It was made with a vintage thirst for knowledge build (from yrs ago) as a base.
Tfk and fof have very little showing in classic so i wanted to see what numbers would work.
My testing for the more popular workshop variants busted out when i realised that my mox replacements were too bad for that deck to be viable.
With snapcasters, I would probably play claim in the sb to drop red out for a more stable mana base since snapcasters would let me replay them.
I sure hope that the events fire this week As i missed last week :(
Trini is extra guard vs dredge. Not sure if it works that way thou.

After opening and trying to by Alternate at Thu, 10/13/2011 - 19:49
Alternate's picture

After opening and trying to play Geist of Saint Traint or however you spell it, it is bar-none one of the most overrated cards ever to get such an amazing amount of hype. Sold it for 13 and moved on.

Surprisingly in the INN sealed, I have seen some weird stuff.

1) Well this isn't weird, but it seems whoever gets invisible stalker out first wins.
2) Lilliana is garbage in Limited and I feel like she won't be so great in constructed.
3) Bonds of Faith, which I had up there as one of the better cards in the set, it's as good as I would like.
4) The blue Zombie flyers are really good in limited.
5) The flip cards other than the rare vampire are garbage since they can rarely turn.
6) In STD, red deck wins will be the most played deck.

7) If you opponent has 13 1/2 spider tokens and you have no creatures, top decking a Geistflame with 5 mana and he is down to 2 life will end up in you receiving a lot of hate mail from the opponent. It isn't my fault Geistflame is badass. I can't wait to upload that video to youtube, I'll send him the link.

Meh, I was pretty disappointed in the cast this week, to be honest, guys. Not only was the energy low, but also back to the same format of going over Daily Events in detail. >_< Hope you guys haven't so quickly lost the momentum to change and improve the cast.

I said the same after the cast - so I agree %100. Next week's will be better ;)

Lots of Lilliana's by Alternate at Thu, 10/13/2011 - 23:15
Alternate's picture

Has anyone else noticed the massive amount of Lilliana's going around but no talk of Garruk? I mean I have heard that during the pre-release there were more Lilliana's than usual, but I don't play paper. Am I just misled or is this true? Like is WotC trying to keep the price of this card down by putting more than usual in circulation?

I would love to know your guy's outcome from the sealed and see what the number of Garruks and Lilliana's were out there.

We had the opposite at our by Drbenwayy at Thu, 10/13/2011 - 23:49
Drbenwayy's picture

We had the opposite at our paper pre release draft with at least Garruk's around (with me pulling a foil out of the first pack!!) but no Liliana. There were forty people there and no one came into contact with a Liliana during the swiss rounds unless one of those 2/3 quiet kids pulled one but didn't play it.

"Feedback - What do you like about YSO, what would you like added or changed?"

I would love to see timestamps added.

Here is an example from another podcast:
http://shoryuken.com/2011/09/28/wakeup-shoryuken-e074-tis-the-season-to-...

Timestamps give you:
1) a great reference point as you listen
2) a menu to choose from when you want to re-listen to certain sections
3) a valuable organization for archived casts so you can go back and see what they covered and find what you need
4) a great way for people to comment on a section and reference the relevant timestamp for others to reference
5) something for us visually cling to (like playlists and wedding programs) as we progress through it

I have done this week's Timestamp as an example:

we have started time by Clan Magic Eternal at Fri, 10/14/2011 - 10:42
Clan Magic Eternal's picture

we have started time stamping, or at least attempting to. I did the last 2 or 3 episodes, but i dont always have the time to do it inbetween the time the cast is edited and submitted to pure. I will do it whenevers i have the day off as i stated in a previous cast.

at Mogg,

i dont think your comment about staleness is really fair. We had two events and not much else as far as content. couldnt find a guest and on top of this we talked about innistrad hitting the digital shelves.

every week cant have a million things in it, especially when there is no releveant topics to discuss.

sorry you didnt enjoy this weeks.

First of all, I never said it by MMogg at Fri, 10/14/2011 - 17:18
MMogg's picture

First of all, I never said it was stale. Stale means the same thing for a long time, and it WAS stale before. I like how you guys seemed to change gears and get away from the stale old format, but this week you slipped up and fell back into your old comfort zones of going over the DEs. My comment comes as an alarm bell NOT to lose gained ground and thereby fall back into a staleness. My fear, in short, is that the cast will *become* stale.

Actually, honestly, two DEs fired is precisely the reason not to cover them in such mechanical depth. When Classic is on the upswing, you want to capitalize on that by providing dynamic and engaging coverage. When you say how each week can't have a million things in it AND there are no relevant topics... wow... that's when you have to put your thinking caps on about how to frame the discussion. It's not only about the raw information delivered, but also the framing of how it's delivered.

Lastly, the cast is slightly schizophrenic regarding feedback. On the one hand you have Zach, who is generally open to it, and on the other hand there is George, who is very defensive and argumentative about it. George, you often get your back up over constructive criticism instead of just taking it on board and thinking it over. I don't expect everything I say to be taken as gospel, but I am a listener (and a pretty loyal one considering I have never missed a cast) who is trying to provide feedback to improve the quality and direction of the cast, not a random troll. When people asked for time stamps the first time, you fought with them. I posted the time stamps the following cast, and then you started time stamping afterwards (for a couple episodes) and now someone again is asking for them. People who take time to give feedback often do so because they care, not because they are just trolling. If you want more feedback from the listeners, I think you have to be a little more receptive, and no, receptive doesn't mean accept everything, but at least not get your back up so much. <3
