Hey hey, what’s going on everyone? News this week includes the results of three GPs, a change to the CMC rules in regards to flip cards, and some talk about the recent packing images released for the new set. After the break we return to talk about all of the spoilers that have been released so far and our impressions of the set overall. Thanks for listening!

This week on Constructed Criticism they guys are joined by Hall of Famer and the #2 ranked player in the world Paulo Vitor Damo Da Rosa. They discuss the year that PV is having and his attitude in magic now versus a few years ago, and how that attitude impacts his game.

We're joined by GP Melbourne Top 8 competitor Jason Chung for the first chunk of the episode this week! He tells us all about the state of Modern, his awesome deck, and the appropriate response to the Eldrazi menace. Once he leaves to catch a plane back home, we get into the usual stuff with tournament results, a large mass of news, LOTS of discussion about Shadows Over Innistrad, and a mystery judge foil spotted in the wild!

No pros this week, just the Eldrazi Familiar, 2Tarns, and myself!

Three Modern GPs and a bunch of new info and spoilers from Shadows over Innistrad give us plenty to talk about tonight!

On tonight's First Strike we look at the numbers from GP Detroit, Melbourne, and Bologna. Were the Eldrazi as dominant? (Spoilers, yes) Did anything topple them? (Spoilers, yes) Did Aaron Forsythe admit things aren't great in Modern? (Spoilers, yes)

Three for three! Not too bad.

Aside from the tentacled invasion WOTC pulled off an Epic Experiment with some creepy rooms to be explored at the GPs and escaping said rooms granted preview cards from Shadows over Innistrad. We go over all our favorite spoilers, the new mechanics, and a few rules changes.

Plenty more spoilers are coming and we'll have all that and more to talk about next week! Stay tuned!

Follow along on Twitter @EOTNewsFlash and on Facebook EOTNewsFlash Network

No Standard tournaments to report this week, but that does not matter because we've got SPOILERS!  Shadows Over Innistrad Spoiler Season is officially underway!

Mr. Roskam also discusses a PPTQ he played in over the weekend and goes into his Mardu list.

In the words of DonaldTrump, we're all losers. Each of us talks about our collective loosing streaks, hopeful we'll come out of the slump. Shadows Over Innistrad has some spoilers we go over, and we're all pretty pumped for what new Standard could look like. Thank you for your honor.

Jon Celso (@BalduvianBears) returns along with @PatEuglow of Leaving A Legacy podcast to talk the premature death of Legacy, Scenic Hartford, a curious GoFundMe and an amazing twitter moment in the middle of all the Eternal Masters Leaks drama. Aaaand we couldn't avoid a little more Vintage Artist Constructed talk, but cut a bunch in editing to avoid rehashing too much.

Jeff needs money to get to GP Minneapolis and is selling some sweet stuff. Check out his sales doc and DM or email him. Selling cards, what a novel way to convert playing Magic into cash?

Better GoFundMe's you can support than some guy quitting Magic:

Christopher Rush Family/Memorial GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/3fcekht8

Wayne England Family/Memorial GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/enrmjca4

 

Thanks as always to Professor Elemental for granting us permission to use his lovely music for our intro/outro. This week's closing song was "Graveyard Shifts" off the album "Special School" which is still one of my favorites., partly because it features MC Dizraeli. Check out professorelemental.com and  buy his music!

Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 239! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite, CommanderCast.com! We’re recording this on March 2nd, 2016. This week we are down one co-host again but William and Calvin are up to the task at hand! First they discuss what is the worst color in Commander, they move on to discussing what does a card have to do in order to make it into a deck over other similar cards, and then they move on to a technology segment where we discuss a few cards that we enjoyed playing but has fallen off over time!

So sit back, relax, and ...

click the IB!

Community: Is there still a “worst color”?

Magic’s come so far in giving each color ways to play in multiplayer. Is there still a worst color? If so, which is it?

Strategy: Bar of Entry

How do we look at cards we’re considering for our deck vs. what they’re worth

Also, when old favorites just don’t cut it anymore.

ex) Akroma in Kaalia

ex) Serra Angel in Avacyn?

Technology: Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Discuss cards we used to love that have either been outclassed by new cards or that we discovered weren’t as boss as we originally thought they were.

William - Akroma (Red and White), Cancel, Rith, the Awakener

Calvin - Ajani Goldmane, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
