Derek gives a great discussion about some of the changes to Standard from Shadowmoor and perhaps some new and upcoming decks to keep an eye out for in the near future.

Tom gets a very cool email from an Australian listener working and living in China and gives me a heads-up on Chaos Magic!
MTGCast News
We now have a phone number where you can leave voice-mail for us and the show! You can call in with any questions, news items, hints, tricks, combos, or anything! The phone number is 469-277-2278, so that's 469-277-CAST! I am giving a nice Foil DCI promo Powder Keg to a random voice mail caller for the upcoming episode! Also check out a nice picture of Gavin's bird, Rocket. Tom also types in the ridiculously long URL at the end of the Shadowmoor fat pack booklet.
This is a new weekly contest where I announce a question on the podcast, you post a response (or story) on the MTGSalvation forum for replies to the episode and you can win a card hand-selected from Tom's large collection (and winner is announced on the next week's show). Also, if there are 100+ comments in one week on an episode, Tom will give away a Mana Crypt to a randomly-selected entry!
This week's question is: Favorite Shadowmoor flavor text, best release tourney experience, or worst Shadowmoor card!
Prize of the week: Foil Timeshifted Squire!
