CardShark

Hello again, and welcome to The Mana Pool! Mike here again with yet another rundown of yet another Shards of Alara Preview episode. All the customary hosts are present and accounted for (no special guests, unfortunately), and we start to tackle the first part of a massive info dump that showed up in the Visual Spoiler over the past weekend. Tune in later in the week to get completely up to date.

Today, we have a very encouraging member of a new cycle, a vampire that likes to brawl, a card with an even better name ever, and just a bunch of other neat, neat cards. We close with a couple of interesting (at least to me) rules notes from the Masters Edition 2 FAQ.

Keep sending us your questions and comments (the email address given below broadcasts to all the hosts), and keep telling your friends. Maybe someday the name of our podcast can be in blue letters below a card from a massive weekend info dump. And you'll have heard about it first!

I didn't think about this before when discussing champion as a way to get around unearth, but sliding/blinking/turning to mist works too, because you're removing it from the game and it returns later as a new creature. Ken Nagle ftw.

Speaking of Mr. Nagle, I'm really wondering why they had him do the video instead of the other guy, who seemed much more well-spoken and, let's face it, much more "camera-friendly".

I've only fast-forwarded through the vids, but he seems a bit....twitchy. You know?
