Protection from Noob

ProtNoob_012

This episode of Protection From Noob is a special double-feature to celebrate the Protection From Noob team joining forces with CCGTradepost.com to create a super-podcasting-force™. This is part one, with part two will be going up shortly afterwards.

In part one, Lennox, Chad and Greg head back to the M11 spoilers and look at the White, Blue and Black cards they haven't yet discussed. What do the team think of Squadron Hawk? Is Roc Egg a 2-for-1? Which leyline do they anticipate the most? All these questions will be answered* in part one of this edition of Protection From Noob!

*Not much, no, and probably the black one.

This episode of Protection From Noob is a special double-feature to celebrate the Protection From Noob team joining forces with CCGTradepost.com to create a super-podcasting-force™. This is part two. If you haven't listened to part one yet, why the hell not? Go back and listen to that first otherwise part two will make slightly less sense to you!

In part two, Lennox, Chad and Greg head back to the M11 spoilers and look at the Reg, Green, Artifact and Land cards they haven't yet discussed. What do the team think of Hornet Sting being green? Is Combust good against Kor Firewalker? What control deck will Crystal Ball fit into? All these questions will be answered* in part two of this edition of Protection From Noob!

*Not much, no, and probably the black one.

Protection From Noob - Titans Go!

This time on Protection From Noob, Lennox, Chad, and newly promoted co-host Greg, go through a few key spoilers including the reprinted Mana Leak and flagship mythic cycle The Titans!

With spoilers out of the way, they have a couple of listener comments to address before moving on to last week’s hot topic, the new Extended changes. And Greg lowers the tone with his observations of the world.

In this episode of Protection From Noob, Lennox and Chad are joined once again by Greg as they Gleefully go through the spoilers to date. Currently mostly commons, the set is shaping up well and the team walk through each colour looking at what's new and what's returning in the newest Core Set ever! Also in this episode, another bet is made and a mildly amusing anecdote about Jund is told.

This weeks outro music is Rio by eighties icons Duran Duran because it's awesome.

It's been a while, but Lennox and Chad are back, and once again joined by Greg. They'll be looking at a few of the spoilers for M11, including a certain bane-slaying angel, as well as the slew of tournaments from the past few weekends. One of which, Lennox Wins. (Spoiler: It wasn't San Juan.)

The music featured in the show is 'Colours' by Hot Chip and 'Godhopping' by Dogs Die In Hot Cars. In that order.

Rise Of The Eldrazi has finally been released upon the world, much like Emrakul's own escape upon the plane of Zendikar, and Lennox and Chad discuss their first hands-on experience with the new cards at their pre-releases. They look at what hits and misses they made in their predictions (hint: regress is good in limited), as well as cards that weren't even on their radar. They also discuss the decks they and their opponents played and what they think of the format so far...

Zendikar is a world full of dangerous terrain under foot and floating blocks in the sky, and it looks a lot like the Mushroom Kingdom if you squint hard enough. The only thing it's missing garish green pipes. This tenuous connection is all the excuse needed to make this episode's video game theme Super Mario! Just don't try jumping on the top of an Eldrazi!

Rise Of The Eldrazi is around the proverbial corner and this week Lennox is joined by new co-hosts Chad and Iain to parse the incomplete spoiler and give their take on how the set is shaping up. From the mighty Emrakul, the Aeons Torn to the ineffective Glory Seeker, the trio undertake the mammoth (umbra) task of simultaneously breaking down the set so far, and making terrible puns.

What game is more fitting to provide the intro music for a 'cast looking at big creatures than Shadow Of The Colossus by Team Ico? We couldn't think of one either and that's why SotC ended up being this week's videogame theme.

Let us know in the comments what you think of the cards we talked about, as well as anything that changed in your estimations at the Prerelease.
