Show Notes:

MTGCast episode 18 – Monday Night Magic News - “Gavin, Where art thou?”
“You've read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first.”

Magic News:
Apologies for being a day late, Tom had some work duties that were inescapable. Selecting 10th Edition continues with a rather bizarre Dragon vote this week and Crucible of Worlds and Time Stop win their respective votes.

The first Time Spiral card has been revealed! Gemstone Caverns. Take a peek at the card:


Gavin is currently attending Nationals and JSS, thus he is not with us for the podcast this week. He will be back in full force next week and fill us in on all the gritty, behind-the-scenes details.

Three Nationals winners have been announced: Paul Cheon wins in the USA, Craig Stevenson wins in England, and Manual Alvisi wins in Italy. One of the magic hosts may have even played Craig Stevenson at a pre-release event, I wonder which one it could be? :^)

Fact or Fiction:
Well? How many cards will Time Spiral have in the end? Rumors are flying left and right with numbers like 422 and 301. Listen for some more insight and potential reasons behind this mystery.

MTGCast News:
Tom is quite happy with the loot from his CS fat pack and has to list the key rares on air to bother Dom. We had some new shows on the network this week, “Rogue and Rough #3” – A casual Cold Snap Review and our first video podcast! Tyler brings us a video podcast title “More To Do With Magic Cards” and covers how to 3-D magic cards. Very cool, make sure to check these shows out and give some feedback. The forums are doing fantastic! Keep up the good work and we will keep posting.
