The Magic Show #141 - Alara Reborn Prerelease

[ProZach66]

pause it at 11:37 and see the blond haired kids face: he is just laughing to feel important. no one knows who he is. im pretty sure everyone knows someone like this.

[AnswerMachine1]

My favorite card from Alara reborn in Filigree Angel..... I gain atleast 30 health when i bring it out

[BurningMice]

So this prerelease was better than shard of alara?

[ShiningSneasel]

I see myself in this video. I'm the one holding the donut box in the beginning. xD

[Feckel523]

Im running a 5 color deck, with the hybrid 2 drops and the borderstones, running also a sen trip and malstorm nexus with a meddling mage also running 2 maelstorm pulses some call me crazy for running a 5 color from alera reborn, i call me a genius

[koalarunner]

Pretty sick draft pack in the begining. Triplets? Man good card, but not that awesome in Draft. I always draft to win, and it hasn't let me down yet. If anybody wants to find out come to victoria.

[kaosmunkypunk]

hey im umer, the fat guy in the pink shirt whos looking for free packs at the end and talkin on the phone. lol. sweet. i didnt even know i was in it.

[vhsccboy]

seriously... seriously... Is it just me or does Patrick Chapin look alot like Paul Van Dyk?

[videoxatcher5000]

i was in a pack war of lorwyn where you didnt get to see your pack and my rules and tips card was planeswalker with a garruk pick so and i knew i had a foil so i called double garruk so in my opening hand the first card was garruk i showed it and said called it and the next card was foil jace so i didnt play that pack bough another one and left smiling

[planeswalkerkhc]

Haha, you filmed my friend Daniel at 1:53 and 3:00

[lkliv355]

Does Slave of Bolas make Reveillark's ability not bring back your opponents power 2 of toughness come back?

Post back please, or send me a message.

[TheEpic5cc]

u play slave of bolas on revlark. u gain control of revlark, atack if u want. at the end of ur turn u sac revlark. his ability goes on the stack while he is on ur side. u get to return 2 creature with a power of two or less from ur graveyard to play.

[ExplodedVarment]

this is exactly what i was thinking, since you have control of the revielark, its ability would trigger for you.

im also sure the player wouldnt be very happy knowing that they just lost a pretty big advantage. lol

[VMD01Z]

great interview by any means

especially because matt is freaking sympathetic

[meanberry]

I blister beetle my own blister beelte Epic fail :D

[jonathanmarkte]

I agree about the Matt Cavotta interview. It was a great interview. Nice to hear honest answers and insights. Matt Cavotta is one person I missed from Daily MTG and he had better articles there than whoever replaced him.

[efnfen]

This.

[PocketUnv]

As always, great show.

I really liked the interview and your editing is spot on. Keep doing your thing, it rocks.

[mstainz]

If you actually like this set for limited.. then you are awful at limited.. this is the most luck based limited format ever.

[Xorplon]

how dont you get raped by the third party music thing?

[VMD01Z]

good question!!

maybe by only playing a few seconds?

[dontgetcaught5]

Pretty boring ep but the last 2 were really good so I guess you get that.

[iokahoma]

no free packs for players in brasil ...

[jliller]

No "Hotel California"? :P

[BloodThirstyKirby]

It's always nice to see a humble prerelease that's a decent size. Just doesn't seem to happen in my neck of the woods anymore, they're all small nowadays.

The bit with Cavotta at the end though was EPIC.

[wannabevampirelizard]

simplest combo with time sieve is sharding sphinx... hit with 5 dudes to get inf turns....

[dyne313]

The best card i got at the prerelease wasn't even from Alara Reborn, it was a DCI promo path to exile.

[joemeggs]

cavotta seems like a pretty cool guy.. love his work. good taste in music btw

[AxlStrife0]

Time Seive + Second Sunrise = SICK!

[WickedDealer]

Using the OC theme was the best. That old Trucker guy was great. I love how the artist dude Matt was talking about everyone getting a Pre-Release card, Ive been to stores that have run out and people got screwed out of there foil because Wizards didnt send them enough.

[Dre2Dee2]

Matt Cavotta's artwork ROCKS! :D

[CHMIHO]

myr matrix, mana echoes, time sieve, myrs sounds pretty infinite to me

[TheEpic5cc]

Look at the free pack section. MATTS BALD!!! LOLLOLOLOL. It made it worth watching.

[madfrog1]

Cascade says remove cards from the game then put on the bottom. I'm confused as to wether they stay removed or go on the bottom of my library. If they stay removed then WOTC shouldn't have even put the "on the bottom" phrase on the card. Can someone enlighten me on this subject!

[deathsent]

The cards are removed from game until a nonland card is revealed with a lower converted mana cost than that of the "cascade" card. If you choose to play this card, it is as though you have played it from hand; it can be countered, much like a storm copy. After the requirements are met, the remaining cards are then put on the bottom of the library in the order that they were revealed. If you had made the decision to not play the card, then the revealed card joins the bottom of the library.

[dyne313]

Put the revealed cards on the bottom in a RANDOM order.

[smartassmarie9014]

that was definitely not the best magic show ever but it was still worth watching I thought we were going to see some games played at the prerelease but not! but as I said it was worth watching

[electricturf]

This episode was boring. And Alara Reborn sucks. I agree with AJ Sacher, Wizards is jerking us around. We don't want gimmicks, we want a balanced, fun, meta game, especially for block constructed.

[TheEpic5cc]

I did not think the episode was boring at all. I enjoyed the interview alot. ARB is not a bad set at all. AJ Sacher is an awful magic player so look for someone else to get your opinions from.

[starwarsmaniac93]

that's matt covatta? wow that whole time when he was writing for taste the magic, his writer profile pic made him kinda like a fruit tart to me.

[SaintInferno]

can't wait, doing a reborn booster draft tomorrow, too bad we can't get anyone like Matt there, but AVGN is coming to a nearby farmers market the next day. great video as always Evan

[nerukaaa]

I will agree Matt Cavotta is awesome.

On the last round of the last game he beat ME. ;/

[wwcduck]

That Matt guy seems pretty funny and cool. Great interview as always.

[georgesundae4]

ZelosX

no one gives a shit lol

[DarkManuel93]

like the idea of feture the artist, nice show

[CephalidLife]

Artists deserve a show to themselves, and Matt seems like one of the coolest ones. Good show.

[birdonfire]

Matt is cool. I like the fact he Blister Beetled his own Blister Beetle on turn two. Its almost as cool as my Pre-release where my opponent Immortal Coiled him/ herself on turn 4 with nothing in graveyard, winning me the match :p Great edition!

[vpcs]

Matt is an awesome artist and a hell of a person too.

And pre-release on the US are SOOO much better than the ones we have here in Brazil. When we have it. If we have it.

I mean... I'm still waiting for my Reborn Pre-release!

[aFatPuma]

Matt Covatta is orsum! my pre re was heaps fun, was held in a hotel due to our usual venue was already booked :)

[Enfeeblement]

Nice

[billyjay]

i really love when you feature artists. i love your interviewing format. this show is the reason i started playing magic.

a bonus for me, is now that i play a little, i know a lot more of what you are talking about.

[MasterOGA]

Our prerelease didn't give out promo cards AND the prizes were in store credit instead of boosters (And of course, the store has high prices!) o_0

[fish4me0]

lol pre release at my place was fun, i just started playing like 3 months ago and last pre release i got dead last, this time i got 2nd + 25 Free boosters =) it was nice. And the magic show helped me out (along with a lot of searching strategies and all that)

[Throgan]

Matt Covatta was pretty great to watch and listen to. He was very funny and very interesting. "I Blister Beetled my own Blister Beetle." Haha! That's amazing.

[EvilMuppet1979]

Matt Cavotta did some of my favourite cards. This is the first time I've seen or heard him - he's a really cool guy.

[NivMizzetFiremind]

My fave art in the set Naya Hushblade, how happy was i when i came 1st and got given a t-shirt and it had Naya Hushblade on it :D best pre ever!

[fatdogwiggle]

That lady throwing packs is sorta crazy..."Dance monkeys dance."

[manudosde]

Great show. Matt Cavotta is great. He did seem to take up a bit too much time though. I was expecting a little more interviews or gameplay.

[xBooTwox]

Now I want to watch The O.C....

[xBooTwox]

Glad to see the "One Last Thing" back, those are always the most fun.

[ZelosX]

My prerelease went baaaaaaaad, 2-3.

But then i got a free booster, and w00t, Sen Triplets.

[Ihopeyoudietwice]

behemot sledge is the sickness

[sakonhagakure]

Dude it's armadillo cloak as an artifact. What in the hell were wizards thinking? That's just crazy.

[D4rk3z]

MATT CAVOTA IS THE NEW CHAPIN

[Frankacy]

I'm usually not a fan of interviews but the interview with Matt was great. He's very well-spoken and incredibly interesting.

Have him on again :D

[thisguy315]

subway, aka some serious beats.

[stanford331]

im alarmed by the parallels of our musical tastes ...

[WhopperSr]

very nice video evan, intimidation bolt was my all star, as well as feral hydra :P, my naya was the sickness.

[dragon0466]

my released was so good i when 2-2 and got 2 free packs and a DCI path and pull m. mage

[Bushwick78]

First haha lol great show!!
