Join Matti, Peter, Nate, and Chris as they discuss the commons from the Return to Ravnica set, and how they feel they will affect Classic and Standard Pauper.  You really should.  We had to drag Peter away from Borderlands 2 to do this. http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/commander/24889-Commander-Official-Banned-List-And-Format-Philosophy.html http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg%2Fdaily%2Fother%2F09202012a Your Host(s): Chris Plummer and Matt Billings Show’s Email: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Show's Twitter: @cmplummer Show's Twitter: @matuna MTGO Account for Chris: GrayCatRecords MTGO Account for Matt: Matuna MTGO Account for Mike: mikeyk159 Show's Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Show's Band Page: http://www.facebook.com/pitchthewooband

Even for an illiterate like Andy, numbers are something he can understand. This week he's joined by the considerably-brighter Max and super awesome guest Jeori to discuss the SCIENCE of EDH. Jeori conducted a study on what players like to put inot their decks, compiling a crazy database. This week we discuss the findings, plus some other stuff. Don't forget to check out Gifts Given 2012, FOR THE CHILDREN, here: http://www.commandercast.com/contests/gifts-given-charity-drive-2012 For more Commander-y goodness five days a week, slide to the spot: http://www.commandercast.com/ Your Host(s): Andy and whoever Andy wants Andy's E-Mail: CommanderCast@gmail.com Andy's Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/CommanderCast

Pete Jahn, near Madison, WI, USA How did you become interested in classic in the first place? I play anything and everything, but I like old cards, old frames and old interactions.  I loved playing Extended, back before Ice Ages rotated out.  Classic has a similar feel. If you could play any classic deck what would it be? My all-time favorite deck was GB Survival, but really the answer is "anything I have not played yet." I tend to get bored with a deck once I understand it.  What is your favorite MTGO accomplishment whether it relates to tournament play, deck innovation or community involvement? Playing on the first Community Cup team. The whole build-up, the trip to Renton, breakfast with the team and late night games with the team and lots of Wizards folks, plus playing at WoTC.  Great times.Any Magic accomplishment would have been a tougher question...  Classic Challenges!4-0 a Classic Daily Event with 4x Memory Jar Winner - ?

We are back again from our aggravating and unplanned summer hiatus. Since Steph is MIA, hopefully temporarily, I managed to dig up a flavor durdle and the amazingly insightful Igor Farkas. Both guest hosts hail from a much less awesome cast who clearly stole our name but they're still cool people. Now I hope you're prepared for the pseudo-essay of show notes all about the Swarm guild of the endless cycle, the Golgari. And just ask Jackson, Igor, or Steph, in a well planned episode show notes are usually this long or longer, enjoy. http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Golgari_Swarm Old Golgari: The old Golgari embodied the endless cycle of life and death. Technically according to the original guildpact the golgari sort of function as a soup kitchen for the guildless. Because the Golgari function on the endless cycle of life and death they are able to produce huge amounts of cheap food even from the rot of Upper Rav’s expensive food. The Golgari are the largest guild in Ravnica drawing from humans, the Devkarin (dark elves), Teratogens, and plant zombies. The bodies of the many dead of the City plane all join the swarm as zombies or plant zombies.  The Devkarin are a very strong race of elves though they’re quite sinewy and very pale; they also have a natural affinity for magic even at a basic level. Most Devkarin are either hunters, tracking the remaining beasts through old Rav or they become Shamans like Savra, the short lived queen of the Swarm. The Teratogens are a wide variety of semi sentient to fully sentient non-humanoid creatures including but not limited to harpies, gorgons, and other such pseudo humans. The guild is the most cyclical both in its nature, expansion, and even in its leadership. the Parun was the God Zombie, holding the undead element as the ruling foaction, Svogthos who was tricked and over throne by the sisters of the stone death, pushing the Teratgens to top dog until Svogthos was rebuilt by Savra and attempted to claim rule again but was immediately usurped by Savra who was quickly surpassed by her brother Jarad, placing the Devkarin as the most powerful faction in the guild at the time of and following the Decamillenial. The original golgari mechanic is dredge.http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/dredge Dredge is a static ability that only functions when a creature with dredge is in the graveyard and says “whenever you would draw a card you may instead place the top N cards of your library into the graveyard and put this card into your hand, otherwise, draw a card.” This ability mostly focused on the black side of Golgari, instead of embracing the guild’s cyclical nature it was incredibly one sides, putting cards into the graveyard, either to recur them or to return specific cards. New Golgari http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/211c#golgari Planeswalker’s guide to Golgari The guild has not changed largely since the events of the original ravnica block, though due to Jarad’s leadership, insects, which he has always had a natural affinity for, now play a larger part in the guild’s forces; likely leading to the change in the guild symbol. The guild is mostly the same factions it used to be but the Undead have shifted a bit. Fungal zombies are now a bitter more common than “true zombies” relatively decreasing the intellect of newly named Lotle, though the faction is now lead by the necromancers controlling the horde. Over all the Lotleth in gtheneral feel under appreciated as they’re mostly considered slaves, laborers, or second class citizens by the rest of the guild, but as with most proletarians, they’re the most numerous faction. The Street Swarm is also a fairly new faction, at least in that it only recently was named. The now numerous and empowered Devkarin favor a policy of expansion, the street swarm is their tool. This legion forms small gangs all over the city,

In this saucy episode, the guys talk about FNM, SCG Denver and more speculation about Return to Ravnica. The guys nerd out over Izzet Charm, get pissed off at jerks at SCG Denver and more! Opening song- "Magic" (B.o.B.

 That's right, we got TWO Hall of Famers!  Chewie (of The Mana Pool and Monday Night Magic) and Cluze (of Card Advantage) sat down with none other than Jon Finkel and Bob Maher Jr. at the very first Escapist Expo.  Finkel and Bob were there gunslinging and doing panels to promote the Gamers Helping Gamers charity, and we wanted to give them a chance to tell everyone all about it.  If you would like to know more, just hit http://gamershelpinggamers.org/ Of course, we had two of the greatest and most accomplished Magic players EVER sitting in front of us...so we had to ask a bunch of other questions too!  That's what you do when you find yourself interviewing Jonny Magic and The Great One, you know?  Ranging from the state of Standard to power creep to the best draft format to the upcoming Return to Ravnica, we picked their brains about plenty of topics until the time (and the volume of the background noise) decided that we were finished.  It was an informative and entertaining interview, and we definitely appreciate Jon and Bob taking the time to sit down with us and talk Magic.  Now stop reading this and listen! Your Hosts: Chewie Slate & Aaron Lacluyze (Cluze) Chewie's Twitter: @TheManaPool Cluze's Twitter: @lacluyze Chewie's Email: chewie@mtgcast.com
