MTGCast #140 - Conflux, Comments, and Calls!"You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!"
Conflux Scuttlebutt
'Twas the week before prerelease and all through the 'net, magic players were salivating with an entire spoiler at their behest. Yup, one week before prerelease and we have all 145 cards! Gavin and Tom both give their picks for limited, standard, extended and wild uneducated guesses at legacy.
This Week in Magic
We discuss an upcoming iPhone app tentatively called "MtgToGo." We are also pumped to announce that Chris Otwell (of Road Warrior Otwell) got a Top 8 in the Denver PTQ with a version of RDK2K9. We also pay homage to Bill Starks and his awesome work on typing up all of the Day 2 decklists from GP: LA and a card breakdown. The official WoTC site has the GP: LA Top 8 deck lists.
Throughout the show, we also delve into the murky depths of Legacy and our plans to hopefully go check out Grand Prix: Chicago. Check out and read, read, read about Legacy at the THE forums for Legacy at mtgthesource.com.
User Corner
We have a whole slew of questions including what card ability would we have and what is the most useless ability ever printed?

Gavin and Tom hopefully plan to attend Grand Prix Chicago and the new site seems to be surviving so far.
