MTGCast #149 - Divine Vs Demonic Giveaway Contest!
"You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!"
This Week in Magic
Kudos to WoTC for some pretty decent April Fool's jokes, including the most amazing draft viewer ever seen. It also confirmed that Terminate is Alara Reborn! We also discuss a few more cards spoiled via various magazines in the unofficial MTGS spoiler, including "Unscythe, Killer of Kings" (not an 80's hair metal band). We also have the deck lists for the Alara Reborn intro packs and next week is the start of the official previews! Also, the very cool Divine vs Demonic duel decks come out on April 10th and we officially have the deck lists today via Mike Turian's article! Check out the pics [1] [2] of the new DCI judge shirts. And we talk a bit about the DCI Reporter software and the rumor of a new in-house developed replacement coming soon.
What've You Been Playing?
Jack fills us in on the very cool Pauper league starting at his local store. Tom is still beating faces in Pauper on MTGO and still enjoying GB Dredge / Unearth with it's unlikely hero, Golgari Brownscale.
