believe that? To celebrate this auspicious occasion (not really) we

have a whole mess of episode for you. After a somber intro, where we

dedicate this episode to a friend who is no longer with us, we go

into further detail about the new Duel Decks Contest here on The Mana

Pool. You can find the official forum announcement for the contest

here:

There's

been a lot of super-neato stuff on the Magic site in the last week,

so we go over all of it. The RYZ shoe design contest winners (Wrath

and Damn is sweet!), some Magically delicious soda, and a teeny

little hint of Planechase. Check out the links to all of those down

below.

Then we finally come to the long-awaited topic at hand.

We've been meaning to do an episode on multiplayer combat for at

least a month or so, but lots of things kept getting in the way. But

we've managed to get past all the events and updates and whatnot, and

boy was Brian ready for this one. His lawyer side took over, and he

categorized all the various important attacks that occur in

multiplayer Magic. And I mean all of them. And then we discussed

them all, offering anecdotes and examples where applicable. And

don't ever attack Dirk. No really. Don't do it. You'll be

sorry.

Then I finish us up with a quick recounting of my M10

Prerelease experience. I was with AJ (Kill AJ!), just outside of

Washington DC, and the tournament was...let's say interesting. You

can hear the full story right here. A teaser: I played black/red

(big surprise).
