MTGCast

After last weeks look into the Tier 1 of the format, we delve into the second string, but these decks are still incredibly powerful, and very popular so be prepared.

We also had a great opportunity to play in 2 SCG IQs over the weekend and we break down our tournament process and prep.

One week under the Eldritch Moon spoilers and things are already getting crazy!

Justin, Stephen and I kick off the night going over the SCG Dallas open from this weekend. While we didn't make Day 2, there's still plenty to talk about.

How great is Modern right now? What's the most dangerous card to unban in Modern?

We spend the rest of this week's episode trying to wrap our heads around the new mechanics from Eldritch Moon. Emerge! Escalate! Meld? What is this Yu-Gi-Oh?

What else can Emrakul "Eldradzi-fy"? She's done Angels, Fish and Hippogriffs ? When will the madness stop?

 

There's plenty more cards to be spoiled so be sure to check back next week as we dig deeper into the madness.

 

This weeks is also the start of Stephen and I streaming Magic Online. June 30th will be the first official stream with a Eternal Masters draft. Check out the Twitch stream here!

Andrew Elenbogen is the captain of team Ann Arbor. He has two Grand Prix T8’s (Minneapolis and Omaha) the latter was with his favorite deck of all, Magic: RG Tron. He also finished 13-2 at GP Boston 2015 and cashed several other GPs and SCGs with that same deck.

Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Andrew Elenbogen when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep108

First Set

7th Edition

Favorite Set

Innistrad

Favorite Card

Karn Liberated

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Andrew is super competitive and Magic is his competitive outlet. Magic is not set in stone, it is super fluid.

Level Up

At a random PTQ in Minnesota, Andrew played against Mathias Hunt. His opponent was very pleasant and despite his loss Andrew was able to make friends with Mathias. They found they had a lot in common and Andrew was invited to join an elite test group.

Worst Magic Moment

Grand Prix Dallas 2015. Andrew lost a win-and-in to go to the Pro Tour. He learned that no one deserves to win. Magic is up for anyone.

Proudest Magic Moment

Grand Prix Minneapolis 2016 Top 8. A friend conceded to get him in and Andrew loved doing so well alongside his teammate Max McVety.

Best Format

Modern

Don't switch every week. Know your deck.

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Andrew learned how to self evaluate so he can recognize his own strengths and weaknesses.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players are unwilling to acknowledge they lack the skill to play the best deck. Sometimes you need more practice.

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Boogie board

Deck

Playmat

Dice

Tokens

Magic Resource

Don't be afraid to change your deck last minute if you think it's right.

We've got the mechanics for the new set, a Cluze that managed to not die, an almost-stagnant Standard, and a Chewie that feels like crap. Squee is the same as usual.
