Show Notes:

This week in Magic
Selecting 10th Edition Week 9 looks to be more exciting than last week. Nantuko Husk has defeated Fallen Angel in a rather close vote, Nekrataal sketch A was the victor (sorry Michael Flatley), and most people liked the Urza's Saga flavor text. It's the battle of colorless 2CC mana stones this week with Mind Stone vs Guardian Idol. The sketch vote is for Vampire Bats. (yes!).

Some very tasty art from Time Spiral has been spotted on a MTGSalvation thread (along with some rumors of, gasp, a pirate theme)!

Canadian Nationals have come and gone with Guillaume Cardin crowned the victor.

MTGCast News
That's right, it has been six long, grueling months of MTGCast for the crew and listeners! It's been a fun ride and we look forward to doing the show for a long time to come (regardless of what Gavin says). Dom has received his tokens from MTGMintcard.com, and gives them two British thumbs up. Tom gives a quick review of the evolving MTGVault.com site, and discusses his latest Tribal deck monstrosity that he will pilot at his local Tribal tourney next week. MTGCast rallies the troops to vote for us in the MTGSalvation article of the month competition! Awesome to be nominated, more awesome to win.
