Magic Chat with Dan & Mike - Episode 4 Technical Difficulties

Welcome Back!


Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties with our audio for this episode (darn program defaulted to the built-in laptop microphone), and didn't have the time to re-record. It's not quite up to our usual standards, but we made it work :)  I have whipped and beaten the petulant machine into submission, so we won't have this problem again.

In Magic News, we review this weeks winning decks and deck lists.  We explore BUG Delver in our Deck of the Week.  We Go Deep on Mulligans, and how they are your friend. Watch this Blog and our Twitter and Facebook feeds to find out when our Draft Video goes life.

Tuesday Teaser


GP Richmond is upon us!


Well, Michael McKenna was certainly right when he said GP Richmond would exceed 1200 players – they've broken 4100 and may well beat Vegas's world record of 4500. Lots of questions are being raised as to whether Star City Games is up to the challenge of running such an event. They're making the right overtures by guaranteeing promo Batterskull cards and event playmats to every participant, but can they handle the logistics of printing out over 2000 match slips per round? (Star City's 5000 cap announcement http://www.starcitygames.com/article/28025_Countdown-to-Grand-Prix-Richmond-ndash-3-Days-Out-Capping-Attendance-at-5000-Guaranteed-Rewards.html)

Listen to the podcast on Tuesday where we'll discuss GP Richmond – what went right, what went wrong and what this trend toward mega-tournaments may mean for the game we all know and love. We'll also dive into the ins and outs of playing in large events along with our regular Pack1/Pick1, Random Card, Deck of the Week and Wild Speculation segments!
