The Main Phase, Episode 11: Nats Tech

In this week's episode, rather than inundate you with my inane blather and debatable taste in humor I have a pair of interviews for you to enjoy. First, an interview with Spencer Reese, whose Faeries list dominated the under 16 events at Nationals. Second, an in depth interview with Andrew Temple and Mike Long (yes, that Mike Long) about the evolution of a deck I helped co-design, 'Kith Long.'

In the Kithkin Sideboard what was the two cards second to the right? Couldn't get a good enough look.

I believe you are refering to the pair of Rise of the Hobgoblins. :)

Great show as ever. I'm curious is there more? the last interview seemed to end abruptly.

[reubs11]

yea, my camera ran out of tape right at that point and i didn't have a second.

[fourstatefav]

how does he pay for shock in the first section of deck tech? does he use graven cairns? whats the offical list, because i like it

[reubs11]

the only time he brings in shock is when his opponent has magus of the moon. he never wants to cast it for anything else than to kill magus of the moon, which turns all of your lands into mountains. pretty sick actually imo.

Eh. So what? Doran dies to inside out, but noone plays that either.

Spencer Reiss, you are so gay. I'm convinced you may be the biggest butt fucker JEW I've ever met. You make white people look crappy, because of your avid gayness and gayiousity. I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR COUNTER MANA FAG!

[keldon413]

[keldon413]

[Artisn]

[polkadotedfish]

[fourstatefav]

great episode, and order of white clay is very interesting, im thinkn about it now... but block is over so whats going on now... standard is back in business, or is it extended?

[bovice229]

lol every magic player knows mike long is a cheater by now; why is he still hanging around tournaments? :[

[mercenarybdu]

What was Mike Long up to at that event other than what was shown on camera? I am still searching for answers about his full record (especially the one on cheating)...

[nathones]

amazing ep

Yeah, they had 3 junior tournaments that weekend. Me, Spencer, and Ryan were all playing the same 75 card pile of faeries. Spencer won the laptop, Ryan won the 80 gig iPod, and I won half a box getting 2nd at a nats grinder.

I believe we won 3 games combined that weekend shocking the red player, and countless more shocking the magus of the moon; and even more putting a loxodon warhammer on the likes of Razormane Masticore or Mistbind Clique.

Good weekend save for my food poisoning. :(
