MTGCast #167 – Planechase, ME3, FTV: Exiled and more!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”
This Week in Magic
Abe Sargent on SCG has announced the new 5-Color rules for the popular alternate constructed format, and has a new official page with rules and updated B&R list at www.5-color.com. We officially have the rules for the upcoming Planechase alternate multiplayer format from WoTC in an initial four game packs and it looks to be pretty awesome and let’s you simulate walking the planes in a multiplayer game with great sweeping effects and you get to see two of the Plane cards! We also have a sneak peak of the new basic land appearance (in boosters and fat packs) in Zendikar and definitely remind us of the old Unglued / Unhinged basic lands, and this is a good thing. Congratulations to the 2009 Pro Tour Hall of Fame inductees: Antoine Ruel, Kamiel Cornelissen, Frank Karsten. Wizards has also given us the content list of the upcoming From The Vault: Exiled (*hint* Berserk, Balance, Strip Mine, Necropotence, Goblin Lackey and more!). Previews for the upcoming Master’s Edition 3 have started (to release on September 7) and have included some absolute bombs like Mana Drain, Bazaar of Baghdad, Land Tax, enemy duals. Also on the MTGO front, we have a sneaky announcement on the Gleemax forums about some upcoming Exclusive Commander (i.e. EDH) Theme Decks and the first two will be titled “Deathdancer Xira” and “Enchantress Rubinia” and plan to come out in late August. You can see what cards will be in the decks by following this short trick for MTGO “To view the cards, in client simply change your preference on number owned from >0 to =0. Check the tab after M10 or also filter by set and choose the Theme Deck Set”. The generals will be Rubinia Soulsinger and Xira Arien with hot cards including Chain Lightning and All Hallow’s Eve.
Listener Emails
Thank you to everyone who wrote in this week, including the links for various organizations for donating cards and includes Child’s Play, Game Manufacturers Association and kudos to Central Corridor Games in Cedar Rapids, IA for their ongoing donation projects. Miles M also sends in a very nice hand-out / primer for introducing players to the Legacy Format.
