Prepping for Regionals in ATL

We took last week off because it seemed like not enough happened to warrant recording. Then we got Jeremy Noell of StarCityGames.com on the show and suddenly all that stuff we skipped last week easily turned this into a three hour show! Jeremy helped us check out the first look at new Standard and Modern and even pointed out a few things we missed in the show notes! He's pretty awesome, go follow him on Twitter. The real meat of the discussion, however, was the seemingly-simple press release from WotC's new president and what it could possibly mean for the future of Magic! We all hope you enjoy, and be sure to check out Jeremy over on SCG's YouTube channel, he's on Commander Versus and Split Second!

Favorite Set

Invasion

Favorite Card

Liliana of the veil

Early Challenge

David found it hard to be taken seriously because he was so young. Testing with other groups was hard. He's learned to be very open to other ideas.

When was Your Magic Breakthrough

At David's second PPTQ he and his team went all the way to the finals and split the win. He learned to not intimidated by big games.

Level Up Moment

After coming back, David won a PPTQ and linked with a team that took Magic very seriously. This approach opened. David's eyes.

Worst Magic Moment

At a Grand Prix soon after David's return, he throws away a top 8 because he played around a card that he shouldn't.

Proudest Magic Moment

Grand Prix Melbourne 2016 (David won!) Top 8 at World Magic Cup 2016.

Best Format

Modern

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

David has learned how competitive he can be and has been able to learn to tone it down.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players try to play around too many things.

THANK YOU!!!

Hello all, we are alive and in fact have been attempting to produce podcasts the entire time we've been gone since July. However we kept trying to use Skype and mp3 skype recorder, both of which decided that they did not wish to be part of these endeavors any more.

So, several months, a depressing election and some horrible personal shit later, we are back. We are recording successfully using discord, mostly, the first part of this is recorded with google hang outs which craps itself a lot near the midpoint, sorry for any swearing and just general anger. But We're jumping into Aether Revolt, just a bit late, to talk about the mechanics, the five "story cards" though one makes no sense to me personally, and just some silly cards we really enjoyed.

By our standards it is a down right short and simple episode, but we are back in the swing of things and we are even doing the show live every Wednesday night. You can check out all of our contact information, like twitter, facebook, patreon, our email and youtube accounts, and finally our twitch Chanel. Please come and join us, the Lair of Lore is doing a 365 day streaming challenge, with something happening every single day of the week including a live D&D campaign, the podcast recordings, Mass Effect Mondays and Sunday Night Blood Bowl.
