Max Brown and Connor discuss the build-around cards in Eldritch Moon and what it takes for each of them to have a home.

Renee, Trevor, and Brian recount their Eldritch Moon Pre-Release experience. Renee attempts to feel old, but Brian crushes her dreams by reminding the cast that he was born at least a decade before them, then helps them find a silver lining in their touch of gray. We also cover SDCC Planeswalkers #sassylilly, and clear up some confusion over a common sayings. We also discuss the roots of our childhood fears.

Hosts Jeff ( Karn) Entwistle and Greg (Silverback) Ockey

Talking about the Colorado Magic scene.

Random cards in Pack are they really random?

Silverback trip to So. Cal and Frank and Sons.

This week our wizards - lacking any other sensible option - venture to the Waverly and Gay of San Francisco to do a little on the scene reporting from the ELM release weekend at Versus Games. There is no Crack, Sack, and Bury. There is no structure. There is only 3 swiss rounds of sealed and the occasional sound of the L Taraval rumbling down the street.

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Fantasy setting, build your own decks.

Competitive outlet.

“How good can I become?” Get to see friends

Play a variety of formats to keep it fun.

Worst Magic Moment

Lost Irish National Champion at last moment. Played a little less Magic.

Played a little less Magic afterwards to cool off.

Proudest Magic Moment

Won first PTQ (Pro Tour RTR)

Biggest Mistake Players Make

In Limited: mistapping mana and not representing combat tricks.

Change One Thing About Magic

Mana issues. Sometimes you get ... screwed at a tournament.

Sometimes you get mana screwed at a tournament.

What’s the Difference between Them and Us?

Experience. They play Magic with players on their same level.

Stepping Up

Find the best player at your LGS. Ask to play and get advice.

Play Magic online. Skill level is high and you can play against the best.

Pro Player You Look Up To

Paul Rietzl, PVDDR, Frank Karsten

Effectively Playtesting

Play a lot and focus on the game

Non-Magic Activity

Time management skills really helps Niels.

Self Improvement

Niels is an emotional player, meaning he plays intuitively, he makes plays that feel right. He’s trying to slow down and think.

Let's see what decks did well.........

More Bant Company, huh? Spell Queller really is the best card in Eldritch Moon isn't it?

What can be done to beat the Bant Menace? Were there any other sweet decks from the weekend? Will the pros have something ready for PT Sydney?

And what's this about Eldritch Moon box mapping? Can we trust Reddit on this one?
