Part two of our epic Worldwake episode!

A seven-parter! In this episode, we go over lots of different topics, most of which are in Section A. The other sections are each broken down by color as we discuss everything that had been spoiled at the time of the recording. (Monday, January 18th). Our friend Tim joins us on a rare weekday off for him. This one is a little epic. The Worldwake Product section (http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/products.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/products/worldwake) is now available, including the Orb of Insight.

We discuss the spoiled Worldwake prerelease foil Comet Storm! Should it be mythic? Also, we recommend a few non-storyline related MTG books to spend your Christmas money on! [Anyone interested in hearing a bit of chatter on the NFL (mainly the Baltimore Ravens), stay tuned after the song at the end.] **Be sure to check out Bigheadjoe’s addendum to this episode on his blog (http://otherworldlyjourney.blogspot.com/2010/01/yo-mtg-taps-episode-8-addendum-relevant.html).

Our top fives of the decade! Plus a tiny little bit of ranting

Interview and discussion with the winner of Maryland States 2009, Lloyd Frias!

Discussing Worlds 2009 and the infamous Naya Lightsaber!

More Standard discussion! And Carnage Shall Follow…

Please excuse the sound quality. We were recording in the car and apparently there was a bad connection between my microphone and iPod. Luckily for you, this episode is a short one!

In this episode, we forego the conclusion of our “nostalgia talk” from last episode to discuss the current state of Standard. Websites mentioned in this episode: http://www.quietspeculation.com http://www.deckcheck.net http://www.fivewithflores.com

This episode is primarily introductions and MTG nostalgia, but in future episodes we’ll be moving onto discussions of Standard, news, and other Magic-related topics.
