• BK: Without a doubt.
• JR: Yeah.
• SS: No.
• KC: Yes.
• JO: Absolutely.
• MP: I really like it.
• EM: Yes.
• AP: Yes.
• DK: Yes.
• SM: Maybe.
  

• BK: The blue Fork. (Twincast, folks! - The Ferrett)
• JR: Twincast.
• SS: Twincast or Pithing Needle.
• KC: Pithing Needle.
• JO: I've only been looking at it for Type 4 so far, where half of it could see play.
• MP: Definitely the blue flip guy - Erayo, Soratami Ascendant? The blue Fork will see play in more decks, though.
• EM: Blue Fork.
• AP: The blue flip creature.
• DK: Twincast.
• SM: No comment. (Ooh, how secretive! -JP)

• BK: I think it's adorable.
• JR: Bring 'em on! It can only make us better.
  SS: Whatever. In the end it'll be good for the format, but I think that it's really much ado about nothing.
• KC: I think that their play skill is above the level of Type 1 players, but being unfamiliar with the format will cancel that out a little bit.
• JO: The ones that don't put any effort in will find it harder than they expect.
• MP: That's ridiculous? How much time are they putting in? That's directly proportional to the results that they'll get.
• EM: Just leave it to us amateurs.
• AP: I think it's a good thing that will motivate us.
• DK I think that we'll see one or two in the top 8. Maybe, maybe three. I think that Knut is either overrating them or underrating us.
• SM: I have no idea how that will turn out.

• BK: Hell, no!
• JR: No. Mana Drain is terrible.
• SS: Yes. Mana Drain is the worst thing about Type 1.
• KC: Not yet.
• JO: Not right now.
• MP: Why not? Change is good.
• EM: Nope.
• AP: I can't imagine playing Type 1 without Mana Drain.
• DK: Noooo way.
• SM: It depends.

Should Yawgmoth's Will be banned?

• BK: No. Tinker, maybe. It's just better
• JR: It shouldn't - but I wouldn't cry about it. It doesn't do anything good for the format.
• SS: No. It's not necessary.
• KC: I haven't actually put a lot of thought into that.
• JO: If anything were going to get banned, it would be either Will or Tinker.
• MP: I think that opens up too many doors.
• EM: They should unban Chaos Orb.
• AP: I think that would disrupt too many precedents.
• DK: I think it would probably be good for the format.
• SM: Ban it!

• BK: Actually, I've done both already.
• JR: That would take away from my World of Warcraft playing.
• KC: I would probably go and play Type 4.
• MP: I don't want to go to some kid's prom. Besides, I'm going to be winning.
• DK: I already dropped and I'm in a flight right now.
• SM: I'll probably be doing match coverage.

• BK: I actually got stuck in New York for four hours when I was just supposed to be passing through for maybe an hour.
• KC: It took us about an hour and a half longer than we expect to get from DC to Richmond.
• JO: I flew in, and I got stuck in the Atlanta airport for four hours.
  SM: We were on it for at least an hour and a half.
