Been Awhile… Part 3

bdm | 01:35PM on Mon Aug 16 2010

The last few times Mike and I have tried to podcast we have gotten derailed by an M11 draft or actually testing Standard for this coming weekend’s US National Championships, which we are both qualified to play in. After a recent playtest session Mike and I stuck around for an extra hour — after finally remembering how to turn on the casting device — and chat about Magic in general and the Hall of Fame in particular.

Been awhile…

bdm | 11:44AM on Mon Aug 16 2010

The last few times Mike and I have tried to podcast we have gotten derailed by an M11 draft or actually testing Standard for this coming weekend’s US National Championships, which we are both invited to play in. After a recent playtest session Mike and I stuck around for an extra hour — after finally remembering how to turn on the casting device — and chat about Magic in general and the Hall of Fame in particular.

Sphinx or Sub-Sphinx M11 Visual Spoiler Review Part 4

bdm | 04:25PM on Tue Jun 29 2010

I know it has been a while since the last set of cast but with cards flooding into the M11 Visual Spoiler page on the mothership Mike and I got together, with a special guest appearance from the hirsute Steve Sadin, to discuss Conundrum Sphinx and his spoiled friends from M11. It was a fun set of ‘casts to record as the three of us have not done anything together in quite some time and there were plenty of exciting cards to discuss. Topics of discussion included the tournament worthiness of Sphinx of Jwar Isle, which cards will win the most money for the rest of the year, and which cards seem like they are being overrated (Hint: It rhymes with with Rhyme Dispersal).

Make sure to check the Visual Spoiler page and the various weekly columns for the rest of this week and next as more cards are revealed every day. And of course, don’t forget to make your plans for the M11 Prerelease in a little over a week.

Nationals Q and Effin’-A! Part 6

bdm | 11:05PM on Thu May 20 2010

I don’t know if Mike has actually mentioned this anywhere or not but both of us qualified for US Nationals this past weekend at the NYC Nats Qualifier run by Gray Matter Conventions. Top8Magic.com Mockvitational winner Christian Calcano also won a berth at the same event. All three of us were running very different decks with Mike running Grixis Hits, me running GerryT’s Naya Like-Saber, and Calcano running blue-white control. This set of podcasts include Mike and I talking during the early rounds of the tournament, a post-Top 8 migration to Shake Shack, and a post mortem by Mike and from Monday.
