DeckConstruct - Magic the Gathering podcast

Show 09 is now online! (Hmm, that rhymes…) In this week’s show, we continue our look at the Legacy format with a couple of rogue decks (well, rogue-ish for Legacy). We also have a challenge for you, our awesome listeners! Any feedback you have is welcome, and can be sent via the webform behind the “Contact” link on the site. Cheers! - DC Cold Team Two Card and Deck Credits Part 1 Affinity Chalice of the Void Enchantress Tranquility Part 2 Fluctuator Music Credits Intro: Melophon – Falsche Nummer The Feature: Zeropage – Void Sensor Outro: fonetik – Claris Bumpers: DJ Vadim – Talk To Me (Nodea’s Silent Remix) The DeckConstruct podcast is produced under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Noncommercial licence.

Show 08 is now online! In this show, we kick off our two-part Legacy special. We look at common misconceptions about Legacy, a few of the format’s staple cards and three popular Legacy decks. As usual, we love to hear your comments, so please send them in to the usual address, or click Contact in the site menu and use the web form, or sign up for our shiny new forums! - Team DC PS. Please excuse the “phantom tapping” near the start of the show. We’re not sure what caused that.

Show number 07 is now online, a bit later in the day than usual due to some audio problems which had to be fixed. In this show, we reflect on our Champs experience at Eclectic Games in Reading, England, and we also look at some cards and decks from the States events in North America. In addition, Dan goes on the warpath over something that bothers him about certain Magic players. As always, your feedback is very much appreciated. Click the Contact link, and let us know what’s on your mind. We hope you enjoy the show!

This week’s show is a bit different. Dan’s away this week, so it’s just me talking about Standard Champs/States, and the decks and cards you might face if you’re playing this weekend. I wasn’t feeling very well while recording this show, and I think that showed, but I wanted to get a show out for you. Please excuse the general lack of “radio smiling” this week! As always, please give us feedback on this show or any of our other shows. We do read everything, even if sometimes we don’t respond right away. Thanks!

Another Friday, another episode of DC! Show 05 is now online. As explained in the show, Card Focus will become an occasional segment from next week. This week, though, it looks at Dunerider Outlaw, a card that might show up at Champs/States quite a bit. The Feature looks at buying and selling cards on eBay, and trading on forums at places such as MTG Salvation and the official MTG forums. I just want to point out two other changes. First is that, you might have noticed no Backstage for show 04. We’ve decided to discontinue it, as life has just become too busy to write it and do the podcast every week. On a happier note, though, the show is now being recorded via two mics, so hopefully this will result in less room (and PC) noise. As usual, if you have any feedback about the show, send it in!

It’s Friday, and that means Show 04 is online! This week’s Card Focus, featuring Kodama of the North Tree, is very short, but that’s because we have a huge primer on the Extended metagame in The Feature. We do mean huge: it’s added five minutes on to our usual running time. We hope you enjoy the show, and send us feedback! - Alex and Dan Card (and Deck) Credits Card Focus Kodama of the North Tree Troll Ascetic Silhana Ledgewalker Moldervine Cloak The Feature TEPS Boros Deck Wins U/W Tron CounterTog (aka TrinketTog) Aggro Loam Dredge 2.0 TCGPlayer.com video explaining Dredge 2.0 Music Credits Intro: Melophon – Falsche Nummer Card Focus: kcentric – Maybe (808 Rainy London Mix) The Feature: Zeropage – Void Sensor Outro: fonetik – Claris Bumpers: DJ Vadim – Talk To Me (Nodea’s Silent Remix) The DeckConstruct podcast is produced under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Noncommercial licence.

DC 03 – Planeswalkers, Lorwyn pre-release

Episode 2 of the DeckConstruct podcast is now available! In this show, we talk about the “Crown Prince of Norway” in Card Focus, and as Ravnica prepares to rotate out, we reminisce about some of our favourite cards from that set in The Feature. At the end of the first show, we said we’d be talking about planeswalkers in show 2. Well, there was a last-minute change of plans, and we apologise. However, next week we’ll definitely be talking about planeswalkers, as they’ll definitely feature in the Lorwyn pre-release happening this weekend.
