Hello and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. This week, Eric and Nole are playing doctor and looking at a fan’s decklist. This decklist tickles both of them in all the right places, as it’s somewhat unexpected, a control deck (Nole’s favorite flavor), and Eric’s 5 favorite colors (Red, Red, Red, Red, and Red).  Mono Red Control was the first deck Nole ever built and it’s still something that he jams on occasion, and Eric’s love of fire is well know by all (including the Ottowa fire department, we told you that that was a bad idea Eric!). Do you agree with the Rivals’ suggestions? Give us a listen and let us know in the comments below.

Opening: News, life and other such nonsens.-

There is not a lot of news this week. The french banlist was updated (who cares?), and the San Diego Comic-Con planswalker set is now out (and looks sweet, goodbye to the ugly black-on-black walkers and hello zombified Gatewatch).

 

Main topic: Playing Doctor with someone else’s deck.-

Our friend Wayne sent in his decklist, knowing it would tickle us in all the right places. Well, tickle us it did. He also asked us for feedback and tips. Well, we are nothing if not helpful to our fans, so we took a crack at tuning up his deck. His list is posted below. We hope this helps Wayne!

I'm so happy that Wedge from The Mana Source is joining us for Episode 4 of Kitchen Table Magic. Wedge is such a generous person. His abundance of heart and positivity is what makes his videos so fun to watch. I'm so grateful that Wedge is part of our MTG community. Recently, Wedge raised $41,314 for St. Jude's Children's Hospital's #PLAYLIVE fundraiser and got to #5 in the leader board for Top Individuals. Wow!

Wedge also gives us an  exclusive sneak peek into an upcoming project he's working on with big name YouTubers for the Magic community.

It was so much fun to reminisce about Urza's block and talk about the good ol' days of Magic where damage went on the stack and mainboard disenchants were a thing.

Let me know what you thought of this episode. Message me or post on our FB page, tweet me or even sent me an email. All that info is in the footer (just scroll down).

I hope you enjoy this episode of Kitchen Table Magic!

Yay! Local Seattle judge that's known and adored by many, Kris Ferderer joins me on this episode of Kitchen Table Magic. I've known Kris for years and it was his warm and welcoming demeanor that made playing in the local Seattle scene so much fun.

Kris talks about how he became a judge and also shares some antics with judge calls.

Kris is now a card grader at Card Kingdom and lots of cool cards flow through his desk.

We also talk about Kris' Twitch stream where he plays sweet video games at Superfluous Rhetoric. The games that Kris chooses to play are fantastic titles. And, he's very entertaining to watch.

Go say hi to Kris on Twitter @FrisKerderer

Watch is past broadcasts on YouTube

Watch him cast some Legacy at the Card Kingdom Twitch stream

And if you're at an event go say hi in person!

I hope you enjoy this episode of Kitchen Table Magic!

We have L2, frequent e-mailer, and pirate aficionado Kali Rainwater to help us get through our backlog of e-mails.

We cover policy questions like how to handle if someone actually drew out of their sideboard, or if you can scry 3 infinite times to order your library.

On the rules front we cover a ton of cards from Eldritch Moon and some wacky Blood Moon shenanigans, among others. We even have a special sidebar on what’s apparently the most confusing card in Standard: Spell Queller.

We even have some great discussions on what it means to be an L2, how to handle counterfeits, and what to do when you make an incorrect ruling.
