<content:encoded><![CDATA[ With the Standard-format Regionals right around the corner and a Block Constructed PTQ season on the horizon, <i>Lorwyn</i> and <i>Shadowmoor</i> interactions are the real buzz, but our faithful readers know that wacky Vintage interactions make us happy and don’t send us sobbing to the corner. Moko's got a lot of use out of his urchin-spine letter opener, and now he's hungry for more – send all your questions to <a href="mailto:cranial.insertion@gmail.com">cranial.insertion@gmail.com</a>, and we'll direct our <a href="http://www.magiccards.info/autocard.php?card=flow of ideas" onclick="AutoCard('flow of ideas'); return false;" title="flow of ideas">flow of ideas</a> your way. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 	Shadowmoor is upon us. The sun has set for the first time in centuries, and dark tidings have fallen upon the formerly bright and sunny world of Lorwyn. The very world itself has changed. What new monstrosities might rear their ugly head(s)? What dangers would you need to take a care for as you wander the wilderness? Join me, as I guide you through one small section of this treacherous terrain: Combos. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My record in the club's weekly drafts in the final semester began to border on supernatural.  Now, astute readers might have noticed all the past tense in that paragraph. Here are the lessons I learned returning to the world of Limited. ]]></content:encoded>

<title>Cranial Insertion: We Have Arrived</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/819-cranial-insertion-we-have-arrived.html</link>
<pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2008 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As I’m sure you all have seen, <i>Shadowmoor</i> included the best card yet to be printed in <b>Magic: the Gathering</b>: <a href="http://www.magiccards.info/autocard.php?card=Dusk Urchins" onclick="AutoCard('Dusk Urchins'); return false;" title="Dusk Urchins">Dusk Urchins</a>.  Do not think this was merely a lucky coincidence for me, oh no.  Believe me when I say that it has taken years of working hard, hiding in tide pools, and telepathically possessing members of R&amp;D to release our forces into print.  The Mothership has long been waiting this day.  Bile Urchin was a simple test-run.  Dusk Urchins was our first true success.  Believe me, it will not be our last. ]]></content:encoded>

<title>DarkRitual's Theory of Interblock Design Revisited</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/818-darkrituals-theory-of-interblock-design-revisited.html</link>
<pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2008 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For those that don't remember, last block I made a hypothesis about how R&amp;D goes about doing their interblock design. I noticed that Timespiral, a &quot;flavor designed&quot; block as I called it, was sandwiched in between two &quot;mechanics designed&quot; blocks in Ravnica  and Lorwyn, and that if you looked closely, some aspects of Lorwyn had &quot;leaked back&quot; a block. The theory was that each block would switch between mechanics and flavor design and the mechanics designed blocks would bleed into the flavor design blocks, and that’s how you would have interblock design between two blocks. New block, new theme, does the theory hold true?  ]]></content:encoded>

<title>MTGO III and Shadowmoor's Mistakes</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/817-mtgo-iii-and-shadowmoors-mistakes.html</link>
<pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I haven't written an article here in quite a while.  There are a lot of reasons for that, mostly having to do with real-world things taking up much more of my time lately and my not playing very much recently.  The complete and almost total unplayability of MTGO also had a lot to do with it.  Now that v3 is up, I've been playing a bit more lately; and having not played the v3 beta at all, I figured I'd review it and share some thoughts on the state of <b>Magic</b>. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Greetings from the dusky, twisted shores of what used to be Lorwyn!  Last weekend, Prerelease events for <i>Shadowmoor</i> happened all over the world.  This weekend, you get another chance to play with the new cards, as Launch Parties fire off in a place near you.  If you missed your chance to go to the Prerelease, make sure you get to a <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/events/releases" target="_blank">Launch Party</a> (née Release Event).  If you went to the Prerelease, then double your fun! Our questions for this week are a mix of those from the CI mailbag and those from the floor of my <i>Shadowmoor</i> Prerelease.  If you want to send us your questions, don’t wait for another Prerelease—use the CI mailbag at <a href="mailto:cranial.insertion@gmail.com">cranial.insertion@gmail.com</a>.   ]]></content:encoded>
