This Week in Magic
Right off with Shards of Alara (ALA), we have the official MTG 9/15 preview of Mycoloth. Gavin and Tom discuss the mana-fixing for ALA, some of the rumored "charms" and more on the unofficial spoiler. Also, some ALA cards were spotted on eBay (pictures here) and have spurned discussion of the 4 mythic rares shown in the pic.

Big news of the day is a hot news tip on the upcoming Magic Player Rewards full-art textless promos: Unmake, Flame Javelin and Cryptic Command. They look absolutely amazing. We also have a scan of the November FNM promo, Isochron Scepter!

And GP Rimini was this weekend and the last major block constructed tourney. Congrats to Emanuele Giusti for winning with Kithkin!

Make sure to check out MTGCast and MTGSalvation on Friday for some exclusive Shards of Alara preview cards!
