Magic News
A sneak peak image of a main dragon from Planar Chaos has been leaked. The book cover found on Amazon for the Future Sight novel looks amazing! We mention the great MTG webcomic UGMadness and their current fundraiser. Also, some more information has been posted about the Christmas Pack of Time Spiral (you know, the one with the necklace).

Article or Magic Moment of the Week
Dom picks an article about Champs. Gavin picks an MTGSalvation article, well, written by himself about Time Spiral Standard. Tom talks about one of his favorite Magic decks of all time, his mono-Black ante deck that has been around since Beta/Unlimited. It featured cards like Contract from Below, Hymn to Tourach, Dark Ritual and Erg Raiders.

Pro Player Top Trumps
We ask the listeners, is PPTT getting stale? Would you like us to try another quick game at the end of each show? Do you have any ideas for games? This is a free-for-all, which means Tom will probably lose.
