This Week in Magic
UltraPro has announced (and we have seen) some new Planeswalker-themed and Shadowmoor-themed playmats, deck boxes, and folders. A new flier for the Shadowmoor prerelease (and release) tournaments has been spotted with some new art and a cool new "Theme Deck" Challenge. The first Shadowmoor preconstructed deck, Mortal Coil, shows a look at some new dark U/B merfolk-esque art. Demigod of Revenge is the official pre-release promo!
And the October 2008 magic set code-named "Rock" has been spoiled on the official Wizards site and is called "Shards of Alara"! Check out more info and the expansion symbol at the official wizards link.

A cool email about some organized Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH) at a local card store, Misty Mountain Games. And a bunch of good suggestions for EDH decks and commanders from listeners!
