Episode 154 - Burninating the Countryside

After beginning with a study into arcane languages and comic strips, we're gonna set this thing on FIRE!  We'll take a look at a few of the new products Wizards has in store, the Magic Online Deck Series: Legacy and the Premium Deck Series: Fire & Lightning, then move into Brian's new idea for a segment.  There's no official name, so I'm going to call it Core Set: Mana Pool Edition.  He has come up with 6 staple card ideas from each color and instructed us to pick cards to fulfill these roles in our Core Set.  The catch is, we have to use cards that have previously been printed that have never been in a Core Set before.  So to coincide with our Burn episode, we're doing Red.  Let us know what you think, and what your choices would be.Then we take a closer look at Burn.  We're gonna focus on its role in multiplayer, a role that is classically underestimated.  We'll take a look at all the ways Burn can be used in multiplayer, as well as which flavors work the best.  All you red mages out there take note!Magic Online Deck Series: Legacyhttp://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/579Premium Deck Series: Fire & Lightninghttp://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/576Intro Music - Diamond by Swift - http://www.swift-band.comBreak Music - Trogdor by the Brothers Chaps - http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.htmlForum thread for this episode: http://cardshark.freeforums.org/episode-154-burninating-the-countryside-t606.htmlCheck out our archive at http://themanapool.libsyn.comEmail us at [email protected] us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/themanapoolVisit Cardshark! http://www.cardshark.comRead Chewie's 60 Card Challenge blog posts at http://themanapool.libsyn.com/category/60%20Card%20ChallengeCardshark Member Promotions: http://www.cardshark.com/Promotions/Member-Promotions.aspxSubscribe to our RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/themanapool
