MTGCast

This week the cast discusses the current state of standard, including deck diversity, cheap deck option, and sneaking Gideon into sideboards.  The power of suggestion drives Corbin to custard, and Jason briefly disappears from the cast.   Listener emails cover Pucatrade and consumer confidence.  DJ reviews some coming changes to the patreon, including chances to frost Jason's  hair.  Strangely, breaking bulk features as many rares as pick up the week.

Douglas Johnson is our guest (@Rose0fthorns)

Well, the Durdles are finally back, because Niksas Internet has finally entered, kicking and screaming, into the Century of the Fruitbat!

We've done prereleases, Modern events, hosted Archenemy games, and there is many things happening outside of those things!

Plus, Unstable just seems frigging awesome!

This week the boys talk about what video games they've been playing, what podcasts they've been listening to and other such things that take up their time. When they move on to MTG they discuss a variety of different decks spanning several formats and Knife answers the call to Hot Sauce's challenge of building a budget EDH deck. Stick around until the end to hear how the true beginning of the episode starts.

First Set

Onslaught

Favorite Set

Kamigawa

Favorite Card

Sphinx's Revelation

Early Challenge

The idea that he didn't have to win every tournament. this detached Jim from the results and led to more wins.

Magic Milestones

World Magic Qualifier-Jim made top 8 and realized he could play at higher level.

Worst Magic Moment

Grand Prix Sydney- Zendikar Sealed- Jim wins play a Blue/Red deck. He had a great position on the board and didn't think he could lose. He lost because he didn't think all the way through the turn.

Don't get over confident.

Proudest Magic Moment

Top 8 World Magic Cup 2016, Jim felt very validated as a player. Also, winning a Grand Prix was huge for him.

What Have You Learned From Magic

Approach things objectively and don't tilt.

Magic Mentors

Dan Unwin, John-Paul Kelly, Ivan Schroder

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Jim really values positivity.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players try to get too smart with their cards. Instead of playing smart they set up a complicated chain that's unnecessary.

How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event

Team EXP had 7 Sealed Pools and rotated those among all the team to get fresh perspectives.

Tournament Day Tips

Snacks and water.

Parting Guidance

No matter how good you want to be, remember you're playing a game and you.

 THANK YOU!!!

With plenty of Organized Play announcements, star-studded Limited GPs, and a Team Trios SCG Open, there's a good bit to talk about this week. There's also Unstable news from the Unstable panel. It's also entirely possible that two of us will be going to a future Pro Tour. Don't worry, we won't be playing.

It's not good advice, but it's advice.
