MTGCast #169 – When Hodags Attack!
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”
This Week in Magic
We have two entire Planechase decks officially previewed, Elemental Thunder and Metallic Dreams! We discuss a bunch of the Plane cards, along with two more spoiled at GenCon and found on Star City Games (Grixis, Pool of Becoming). We also have a name for an upcoming Duel Decks found on the U.S. patent office and will be titled “Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs the Coalition”. We also have the continued “slow roll” previewing of Sorin on the official wizards site, Vampire Nighthawk on ManaNation and Warren Instigator on The Magic Show. Other full Zendikar previews are the new Wrath of God with Day of Judgement and Rampaging Baloths. We had Grand Prix Bangkok this weekend with some definite controversy and a congratulations to the winner, Shingou Kurihara! MTGO updates include some Banned and Restricted list updates and also the very strange snafu surrounding the cancelled Magic Online Season 5 Championships! Mark Rosewater lets us in on some cool news about the third set in the Zendikar block, titled “Prosper”, which will be a large 229-card set and designed to fit the theme of Zendikar, but with unique mechanics and able to be drafted by itself. Bennie Smith has a great article in a series about introducing EDH! Steve also notes that Star City Games is offering $100 for From The Vault: Exiled.
