MTGCast Ep 29 - "A Pirate's Life for Me!"
"You've read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!"

Magic News
PT Kobe has a winner, Jan-Moritz Merkel from Hamburg, Germany. Some info about Planar Chaos is up on the MTGSalvation forum regarding how "Timeshifted" cards will be represented in that set. The entire crew is salivating over the latest textless foil "Wrath of God." Magic Academy is back, in a way, with WoTC reposting one of the first articles from the series. Matt Cavotta has a great article about the development on the Suspend mechanic on magicthegathering.com.

MTGCast News
Dom finishes the Time Spiral novel in preparation for his interview with Scott McGough, and has a call out for some more questions. The Magic Sock mentions the upcoming interview of the Dominator. The MTGCast logo competition at MTGSalvation is nearing an end, and Dom gets official permission from WoTC to use the official card back and mana symbols! Nice!
