MTGCast #208 – Archenemy is the Arch Deluxe of Multiplayer Magic
“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”
This Week in Magic
It’s a solo show, watch out for Tom droning on and on.
It’s all about Archenemy this week as Tom runs through this pretty exciting new multiplayer format with players hatching schemes, them getting abandoned and just the awesomeness of battling as a team against a common enemy. Tom also diverts into a brief talk of old McDonald’s sandwiches like the Arch Deluxe. Interesting article on applying Mark Rosewater player psychometrics to the D&D world. Check out the Star City Games Gazette that made it’s debut at GP DC with brand new articles from their premium authors. Grand Prix Washington DC was this weekend with a record breaking 1931 players and congratulations to Brad Nelson for taking first with UW control, and don’t miss the Top 8 decklists! Wish Conley Woods good luck at Pro Tour San Juan and give him a $20 bill and see what happens. We have the booster box and pack images for M11. David Noonan reviews a cool new magic variant called “Frontier Magic” on the mothership site. Don’t miss the judge appreciation event to be held on MTGO called MOJO (Magic Online Judge Open)! Congratulations to Russell Tassicker for getting a Top 8 at the Australian Nationals.
What Have We Been Playing?
Tom continues to enjoy the UR Kiln Fiend deck that seems to be a solid Tier 2 choice for some standard FNM fun.
