This week, Durdles talk about Delvers, Primers and lot of Kamigawa. Insane amount of Kamigawa.

Also, we talk about some good cards (yay Necro), and some ... Less ideal cards, let's say (hai Kuro, you ugly mug)

After that, we go investigating with Agrus Kos on the plane of Ravnica.

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Drafting Magic is the most fun game Eugene has played. The community keeps him coming back for more.

Early Challenge

Started drafting and learned the BREAD shortcut but then took this too far. Eugene drafted pretty bad decks until he read an article about mana curve that changed how he drafted. Results quickly followed.

Worst Magic Moment

Day 2 of Grand Prix Providence. Eugene and his team went 10-0 in day one but then got steamed rolled in day 2 by Ari Lax's team. It was here that they realized there was a huge gap between their level and the next level.

They came home, hit it hard, and all three team members (Andrew Brown, Jiachen Tao, Eugene Hwang) have gone on to win Grand Prix's and Pro Tours.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players are afraid to step out of their comfort zone.

While only playing one deck is a good way to start, if ALL you do is play aggro then when the meta shifts you will be out of luck.

Play lots of decks so you can easily pick up different styles based on the meta.

Build two decks that attack on opposing axis so

Card Evaluation Tips

Compare cards to older versions.

By playing Limited consistently you build mental shortcuts.

Sealed & Draft Tips

Look at rares first. Grab cards that pull you into their colors, cards that you would definitely play in those cards, and cards you will likely play in those colors.

Find the highest quality creatures and removal and make a two color deck around those cards.

How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event

Play sessions are key. Either online or in person. Talk to each other player.

Early on you want to identify powerful card interactions. After that you want to play the gauntlet of most likely decks.

Improvement Suggestions

Make friends with players you respect.

Use Cockatrice and proxies.

Playing Magic is the best way to get better at Magic. But playing other strategy games is good as well.

Stay positive.

There were two Legacy events this weekend, and virtually nothing else happened. Since Cluze isn't feeling 100%, we grabbed Zeki from Will of the Council so he'd have someone to talk Legacy with, rather than just talking at Squee & Chewie while they nod absentmindedly. Since we usually rush through or gloss over Legacy every week, we're actually going a little deeper on how these decks work. Remember: all places are islands and the Top is evil.

∆ Hello, hello all you fine boys & girls! Welcome back to yet another goodness filled episode of Cast from Exile! Here with us tonight are listeners Jamie Kelly & Ski Zee, so sit back & enjoy your time here on the Island. ∆ Why are kids so violent? Is this the first time ever Lawrence’s mic hasn’t initially sounded like a robot? Did Ski mess up a SexPanther party? How drunk can we get Lawrence by the end of the cast? How did Jamie break Brood Monitor? Do people really still copy Conley Woods? What is one of the biggest mistakes you can make playing Magic that we don’t really consider & do you have to sideboard in every match up? Is Ancestral Visions really worth jamming or is Painful Truths just as suitable? How bad was the MTG movie “Enter the Battlefield”? Did you know Patrick Chapin really loves fried chicken & can spit straight fire? How strong is Reid Duke’s pull up game & which one of the three stooges does his hair? Is Owen more “special” than we initially thought? Will Chris Pikula ever make the hall of fame? Can a movie actually make you care less about something? What is it like to try to explain this game to people that don’t play it? What does Ryan see in Melissa DeTora’s eyes? Just how old is Huey Jensen? Just how inappropriate can this podcast get? Seriously, is this the most over the line we have gone in awhile? What is the real reason behind WotC’s future plans to cut money from the platinum pros in coming years? How rude is Lawrence for doing an online draft of SoI right in the middle of the cast? Why is there so much disparity in WotC prize pools compared to other games? Why so much discrepancy between 1st or 2nd place prizes at a pro tour? What is Ryan’s MTG goal & how attainable is it? Is Craig ever sober? Who the heck is Craig anyways & where does he go for his margaritas? WTF is kinky de mayo & what is this year's theme? Can we get Lawrence an Uber ride to an orgy with Ryan? Would this make a legitimate Kickstarter or GoFund me campaign? How can you as a listener support this noblest of causes? How aggro are the Siamese? How much can Ryan stress giving with your heart? What will Lawrence do with his time now that he is not worried about making platinum? How can you donate lube to the cast? What stretch goals should we make for our campaign? If you underlay something with Sarah McLachlan does it become instantly impactful? What is the nefarious reason behind Planned Parenthood giving you the cheapest condoms in creation? How real can we break down what actually happens at a sex party? What do swinging & the MTG platinum pro club have in common? Do we finally get all the answers listeners have asked about what it is like to be in a different sort of community? Is Lawrence’s drinking to blame or to thank for all of this or is Jamie the one responsible? What happens if you give a cat a Cheez-It cracker?

This week our wizards are riding the high of Eternal Masters draft. The Crack, Sack, and Bury is all about crazy powerful rare creatures in Eternal Masters. And somebody missed out on all the fun. It's episode 101!

With a episode title like that, you know you just have to listen to the whole thing!

With the release of Eternal Masters everyone wants to take a swing at playing old busted cards, and with two Legacy GPs this weekend that's exactly what they did!

Stephen, Shawn, and I kick the night off by diving into the Top 8 of both GP Columbus and GP Prague. How many Miracle players is too many? How much damage can one Noble Hierarch do? Is Lantern Control viable in Legacy?

For those of us who stayed a little closer to home we had our first Eternal Masters PPTQ this weekend. Shawn and I were in attendance and boy do we have some stories.

We go over our thoughts on both Sealed and Draft for Eternal Masters and give you the inside track to what you should be looking for at your next Eternal Masters  event.

Be sure to check out my sealed pool from the event here!

 

Don't forget to come say 'hi' if you'll be at Common Ground Games for their Eternal Weekend!

Stay tuned for more next week!
