To kick off the cast, I talk about the Innistrad pre-release over in Richmond, Surrey. It was the usual chilled affair that is the hallmark of a good Richmond pre-release. I also discuss my impressions of the set, including Dual-Faced Cards (or DFCs to their friends).

After that is the first listener question of the series! It was sent over by Viki Rosen, a familiar name around here.

As always, please do get in touch at show@deckconstruct.com, and swing by the DC Forums, too.

You’ll also find DC on the socials at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.

Thanks for listening!

This week kicks off with a recap of the SOM/NPH sealed event we had at Richmond on Wednesday May 11. This event replaced the pre-release which was supposed to happen on May 8 but didn’t because apparently DPD is all that good at shipping Magic product!

After that is the first ever listener question on DeckConstruct! A mystery listener from NYC has a question about the CounterTop combo, and I do my best to answer.

Finally, I talk a bit about Block Constructed and Extended coming to an FNM near you!

As always I’d love to hear from you at show@deckconstruct.com, and why not saunter over to the DC forums to have a bit of a chinwag about Magic.

You’ll also find DC on the usual social media water coolers that are Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.

This weeks kicks off with a recap and some thoughts on the Mirrodin Besieged pre-release at Richmond, which took place on January 29th 2011. I also share some thoughts on faction packs and how well they worked.

After that is a look at a new Magic variant called Magic Poker. A friend came up with this and I’ve finally got around to featuring it on the show! Thanks, Paul, for the excellent idea!

As always the inbox at show@deckconstruct.com is waiting for your email, should you have any feedback on or suggestions for the podcast, or opinions on what makes for a great sponge cake. Also, check out the DC Forums which lack sponge cake discussion, but feature some great MTG discussion!

This week starts with a recap of last weekend’s Scars of Mirrodin pre-release in Richmond, London/Surrey. I go over what happened, what I played and also mention a special guest who was at the pub.

After that is a look at my top 11 cards from Shards block. The block rotates out of Standard today, so I do the traditional look at cards that I found fun and impressed me from the block.

As always, your feedback is much appreciated at show@deckconstruct.com, and don’t forget to hit the DC Forums if you’d like a nice environment to post all your crazy new Standard brews in!

This week’s show starts with a quick cup of tea and a natter about what’s happened over the last few weeks while DC has been “off-air”.

After that is a recap of the Richmond pre-release for Rise of the Eldrazi. I didn’t do so well, but had fun and it was an enjoyable day.

Finally this week is an unintentionally long section on ROE cards that have caught my eye. I suppose there’s a lot to talk about when a new set comes out!

This week starts with the traditional recap of the last pre-release, the Worldwake pre-release from a couple of weeks ago. I’d normally do this the week after the event, but I’m sure you’ll agree it was worth postponing to get Dan back on the show last week!

After that is a quick look at week 2 of season 2 of the Richmond Legacy League. I couldn’t make it to this one, but lots of people on MagicPlayers.co.uk did.

As always you can grab me on email line 1 at show@deckconstruct.com. I’d love to hear your comments or suggestions! Also, why not drop into the forums and discuss MTG there? Finally, you’ll find DC on the social networks, namely Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and Facebook.

In this week’s show we talk about the Eventide pre-release in Richmond that we both went to, hosted as always by They Walk Among Us. We also talk about Standard post-Eventide, with a look at some cards from the set and also a brand new combo-based deck whose combo is made up of common and uncommon cards!

As always we really like receiving feedback, which can be sent to show@deckconstruct.com. We’re also on YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and now Twitter as well. Our tweets will be about pretty much anything Magic-related (and some things that aren’t), including show updates.

Thanks for listening!

This week, we talk about the Shadowmoor pre-release that we went to last weekend in Richmond. We also discuss cards from the set that we think are limited bombs, and give our opinions on constructed-worthy cards as well. In addition to all that, we also give you a rundown of UK-based MTG events coming up soon as, after all, we’re UK-based ourselves.

As always, we appreciate reading your thoughts via show@deckconstruct.com. Also, don’t forget to check out our forums if you haven’t already done so. Even though we’ll be off-air during May, we’ll still be in the forums discussing all things Magic and non-Magic. Our Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo locales are also kicking around, so why not check those out, too.

Thanks for listening, thanks again if you subscribe to the podcast, and we’ll see you in the summer!

On this show, we talk about our experiences at the Morningtide pre-release in Richmond, London, last weekend. We also cover drafting with Morningtide in mind. This is a general guide to drafting, with examples plucked from Morningtide and, to a lesser extent, Lorwyn.

As usual your thoughts are much appreciated! Email show@deckconstruct.com or visit the forums and let us know what’s up in your mind.
