MTGCast

Had a bit of a technical issue with getting this week together, but here we are!

This week, our dashing trio discuss the top 8 decks from the Star City open, the upcoming Pro Tour, Strategy about learning to play some individual cards such as Serum Visions, and the Frontier format!

Opening song - Crown the Empire-Are you Coming With Me?

This week we had a technical issue that Max caused by getting a phone call on the way to FNM.  So part of the cast was lost.  We discuss a little bit more about toxicity in the MTG community.

This week we cover Grixis Delver in Modern, MTGO Treasure Chest prize frequencies, our thoughts on Frontier, and the state of Modern.

Brandon Pascal is a professional Magic: the Gathering grinder who has qualified for the Pro Tour three different ways! He won a Regional PTQ for Pro Tour Atlanta, a MTGO PTQ for Pro Tour Sydney and top 8'ed Grand Prix Indy for Pro Tour Hawaii.

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

The competition and the people.

Early Challenge

Changing deck types. Brandon was set on his elf deck but eventually had to move on.

Level Up Moment

Last year (2015). Brandon gained a new perspective.

Worst Magic Moment

SCG Event. Brandon was one round off of making top 8. In game 3, Brandon misplayed and lost his win and in. He realized his mistake as soon as he passed the tournament.Brandon learned to slow down and think through plays.

Proudest Magic Moment

Regional PTQ. Brandon traveled over an hour for a PPTQ. He barely squeaks a win in the final. Then he drove 4 hours for the RPTQ.

Pro Player You Look Up to

Kevin Jones

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Tapping mana wrong.

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Magic back pack, binder, decks, spare cards

It's the week before a Pro Tour, so you know what that means - Limited GPs and OP changes that go into effect at the Pro Tour! Sigh. There were some pretty funny bugs in the Bug Blog this week too. That's about it.

Oh yeah, one more thing. There are a lot of extra links to random nonsense in the show notes, so be sure you give them a look this week! Making fun of Atlanta, old-school Kibler, and Planeswalker Correlation.
