Zeki is Unexpectedly Absent this week, but the rest of the Council soldiers on with Ziggy who joined us at the Eternal Masters PPTQ last weekend. Roles are reversed in this Topsy Turvy episode.

Addiction is a dangerous thing, but there are many ways to identify it. The first step to a solution is identifying the problem.

Lauri Vuorela is an up and coming Magic star from Stockholm Sweden who had his first big finish by making Top 8 at Grand Prix Manchester 2016.

First Set

Mirage

Favorite Set

Khans of Tarkir (Limited) / Theros

Favorite Card

Mind Twist

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

The friends he's made and the fact that there are so many possibilities.

Early Challenge

Lauri struggled with playing spells at the right time. Like dropping a creature during the second main so he could represent a spell during combat.

Worst Magic Moment

Long bad streak. Lauri took a 1 month break to clear his head.

Proudest Magic Moment

Top 8 at Grand Prix Manchester

Best Format

Modern

Play one deck for awhile so you know all the match ups.

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Lauri tends to downplay his own skill. But the more you play the more you believe in yourself.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players use the same life pad from the previous game and can give away information. Not facing the timer.

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Life pad

Deck

Extra sideboard cards

Dice

Playmat

Water

Snacks

Magic Resource

MTG Mint Card

Modern Nexus

THANK YOU!!!

This week, Darrel shares his Seasons Past brew in Modern, we talk about the new Eldritch Moon spoilers, Nic tells us about Hex, and we cover the weekend's major event results.

Well, it's Emrakul. That's a bummer. Other stuff happened too, like Zur the Enchanter making the top 8 of a Modern event. But all anyone cares about is Emrakul. Sigh.
