• MrShy & Jamie to discuss:
  Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy in Eternal formats – real deal, or real trash?
  Sideboarding in UR Tempo mirrors (variant dependent)

• Renfield on how far you can stretch the concept in casual formats.
  What do these types of decks translate like into kitchen table Magic and Commander? (taking the idea into Sultai, and revisiting Grixis)
• Sultai = Tasigur or Sidisi
• Grixis = Nekusar or Jeleva Nephalia’s Scourge

Can’t touch this.

• A brief chat about the phasing out of landwalk and intimidate and the scaling back of unblockable.
• Interaction as part of the game, and things that still seem to break the MTG NWO view, like emblems and poison counters. (Poison counters not so much IMO, since they’re just trackers for a mechanic, like experience counters or +1/+1 counters – MrShy)
• Does the current direction of rules changes suggest that Wizards may make these objects interactive eventually?

Breaking news

http://wpn.wizards.com/en/event/prerelease-oath-gatewatch

• Oath of the Gatewatch designed with Two Headed Giant format in mind.
• Possible reprints and references to older sets (the only non silver border card that refers to teammates so far is imperial mask from future sight)
• The Spoiled art so far is pretty.
