Disciple of Gix Alden playing Meren of Clan Nel Toth Zack did something SILLY this game (wrathing with 22 creatures in play while Ryan had Revel in Riches Ryan ended up winning after doing some Erratic Portal shenanigans with Gonti and Panharmonicon, then using Alden’s Overwhelming Stampede and Eldrazi Monument for the win Zack playing Niv-Mizzet Parun Ryan playing Mr. OPC Grenzo Ben playing Jodah Alden playing Edgar Markov Ryan ended up winning when Alden had a crazy Damnable Pact on the stack by sacking a bunch of goblins to Siege Gang Commander and Goblin Sharpshooter Game 2 Zack playing Saheeli Ryan playing Alden’s Edgar Markov deck Ben playing Jodah Alden playing Lord Windgrace Ben ended up winning this game with a hefty amount of planeswalkers, including Ultimating Ral, Izzet Viceroy Game 3 We played 3 games LGS Fun! A lot of new players have trouble knowing how to make their decks better. How often are you playing the deck? How often do you find yourself with dead cards in hand? How do you know when it’s time to upgrade your decks? Decide if you’re completely scrapping the deck, or just adding a few cards Is there a new Commander that you want to helm the deck? That’s closer to an overhaul Decide what your Goal is going to be: entire deck overhaul vs. small upgrade Maybe you save up for big upgrade, but there are plenty of good cards that are cheap AND good! Trade in old cards that you may not want anymore. A lot of stores give you a bonus if you take store credit over cash. Updating your deck doesn’t have to cost a TON of money. Give the deck several plays with the new cards before you decide if you like them or not. Ask playgroup if you can start a game with a couple of new cards in your opening hand. Ryan -  I keep the last 20 or so cards originally cut from the deck, WITH the deck, so that I can always try out something new, when I find something that isn’t working. Play it Focus on where you deck is weak. Do this by asking yourself some questions What decks have been problematic / have I been losing to? How have those decks been winning? Mana troubles? Never having enough cards in hand? Losing to problematic Artifacts/Enchantments? How has my deck been losing? Do you often find yourself with a bunch of high casting cost cards in your hand. Maybe it’s time to lower your curve Are there times when your deck isn’t doing what it’s supposed to - why is that? If built with slot theory and deck is doing okay - swap slot for slot (Ie. Removal for Removal) If you switch cards 1 for 1 from slots write down what you swapped and when you draw new card think if you’d rather have new card or old card. If you’re getting decimated - reevaluate which slots you have, and how many cards you assign to each slot type Slot Theory When a new set comes out if you see a card you like add a note in your phone. EDHRec new cards feature YouTube Videos Podcasts Scryfall - look for similar cards Lastly...your friends! - Consult friends and playgroup for advice. All of us Magic players LOVE talking about Magic What are some resources for inspiration on upgrading your deck. Counter magic heavy? Combo heavy? Infect? Token based decks Consider your meta How can you maximize upgrading your deck? Changing the way your deck functions by removing too many cards that make your deck an deck (tokens, discard, control, Sometimes upgrading a deck turns into me brewing a new deck. Potential Pitfalls I consider this one of the first successful EDH decks I’ve ever built It was originally a budget brew for Season Two of the EDH League. I’ve put a few new cards into the deck, but I’m starting to see cards that feel not great when I draw them. Lands - 38 Creatures - 23 Instants - 9 Sorceries - 9 Enchantments - 10 Artifacts - 11 Deck Stats Exquisite Blood Ethereal Absolution Approach of the Second Sun Hour of Revelation Kaya's Wrath (We’ll talk about why this is not so great) Fumigate Cards I want to add Upgrading Zack’s Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim Main Topic - Updating your decks (Inspired by Quincy Quail @quailancer on Twitter) Thank everyone for listening.

Be sure to pick an event that meets your expectations. Casual Commander - Recommend SCG Con or GP Vegas Main Event/Tournament Side Events - Limited/Modern/Standard/Commander Collect art/cards/meet MtG Celebrities Meet with friends and hang out (best part of MtG Events) Las Vegas has some amazing food and attractions Seattle his the home of the WotC and The Mox Boarding House Is it in a city that interests you? Choose an event that meets your budget and travel capabilities Costs can be shared - discuss more in budgeting section of notes Travel and Budget Make travel plans early. If flying use a site like Kayak to set a price alert to get the best deal. Advantage - Saves money/Share costs Disadvantage - Less privacy/Close Quarters/May be on other people’s schedules Not always close to the event No Maid Service Seattle Concierge Service had Umbrellas to loan out. Great source of info on where to eat and what to see No Concierge Service No room safe No Shuttle Service to and From/Airport No in hotel restaurant/bar Less amenities than a Hotel Air BnB tends to be cheaper, but: Advantages/Disadvantages of splitting Hotel/Air BnB costs Most events have at least 3 types of registration Main Event (Tournament) (Usually these days you are not allowed to register for a main event the day of the tournament) Limited SCG Con has a Commander Package Special access to a Commander Only Area Comes with other Extras such as playmats/pins/ and deck box Special/Commander On Demand (4 round) events Side Events Comes with some combination of the Main Event and/or Side Events with some added extras. Infinite Challenge Packages - Unlimited entries into a specific Side Event (not as common now) Extras typically include special access to a VIP party or head of the line privileges VIP Package Free/Cheap Events at GPs and MtG Cons Casual play where space is available GP Vegas is especially known for the large number of casual players Meeting artist Window Shopping Art Shows Panels (There were a couple of cool panels at GP Vegas this year. One on cosplay and how to make costumes. Another cool one was “Who’s Turn is it Anyway?” an improv show) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_7k_MDRu_o Special Side events sponsored by Content Creators. (Commanderin Cosplay Events) Play a game with your favorite MtG Celebrity Lines can be long for favorite Personalities Spellslinger Events You DO NOT have to buy any registration to enter and have fun at MtG event Pre-register for the events you want Preparing to Attend a GP/MtG event If flying: Pack cards and collection separate from luggage/clothing Do not check card collection. This may not be true for extremely budget airline ticket. You are typically allowed 1 carry on item and 1 personal item such as a backpack as long as it fits under the seat. What luggage are you allowed? Are there additional fees? What happens if you miss your flight? No moving seats No rebooking if you miss a flight if it is your fault First one to be forced off the flight if the flight is full Basic Economy tickets are very restricted. Read and Understand the terms of your ticket. Recommend getting the airlines Economy/Business Economy tickets (1 step above Basic Economy) For smaller regional airports, be there 2 hours a before the flight Large international hubs such as ATL or LAX, be there 3 hours before your departure REMEMBER: If your ticket says the plane leaves at 08:30, that means the doors close at 08:20. Once the doors on a plane are closed, you are not getting onto a plane. Expect to be delayed in at security due to your card collection. (This has happened to me just about every time! Mention JLK’s hilarious tweet: https://twitter.com/JoshLeeKwai/status/1053334228539064321 ) SHOW UP TO THE AIRPORT EARLY Going a long distance driving? Share the driving with a friend Plan for stops FuelLog Triptik Budget for gas (apps can help plan this) Waze Mapquest Plan for Traffic (apps can help with this) If Driving: Try to limit yourself to one personal item filled with MtG cards/decks It is easier to maintain physical security of your collection if it is easy to handle and store. Ryan - I try to REALLY challenge myself to only bring the top 5 Commander decks I’m interested in playing for the weeknd (and maybe also a brawl deck or two). Also, a good idea to bring different decks of varying power level, cause you don’t know who you will play against all weekend Do NOT overpack Travelling Be Friendly and Open to New Experiences No one owes you their time Everyone’s else may have different ideas of what is fun Be aware of your surroundings Do not leave your stuff unattended Hook your backpack/travel bag to a chair leg or to you Make sure zippers are not easily opened If you have a large and/or expensive collection you can get insurance for it It is a special rider that is added to your homeowners or renters insurance. It is cheap For extremely price items, insurance companies will want physical proof such as receipt of purchase or a picture of the item. Keeping a digital copy of your decks/collection online can help you during a claim. A police report is required to file an insurance claim Inform the event organizers, let them know if there are any unique items that may identify the collection   If you are unfortunate and your collection is stolen at an event, immediately file a police report GET INSURANCE! Especially if you are in the Main Event On site food is typically overpriced and not the greatest quality. Bring Snacks and Water Ask random people to play with you Make a sign advertising Post to twitter with a picture of the table number you are at and the Hashtag for the event, e.g. #GPVegas Once started a game with someone’s casual deck - turned out to be a crazy Thassa combo deck that got Omniscience out on turn 4. Don’t get mad - be polite Find a group that you enjoy Make new friends Not all decks are made the same If you are just there to play Casual Commander Visit your favorite artist Card signing are typically $1 -$2 per signature Make sure to UNSLEEVE your cards while you are standing in line. Don’t be that person making everyone wait while you are unsleeving double-sleeved cards Be prepared with what you want. You are not the only person in line. Most artist love discussing their artwork, but be respectful of their time, especially if they are busy. It’s really cool to meet and have conversations with MtG Celebrities. Most of the ones I have met are super happy to sign a playmat, and you’ll come out with an amazing, one-of-a-kind souvenir It’s good to have a few different color of sharpies available Also, a playmat with a bright color background, makes sure signatures show up really well. (For example, the first playmat I made with the BW logo was on a black background, which just didn’t work out all that well). Blank playmats are often available at the tournament site Bring a playmat and some sharpies! Panels include everything from format specific discussions, comedy sketches, to instructional how to’s. Attend a Panel Most events are held in large cities Visit and experience the local sites Some really great after-hours experiences can be had, not limited to a great dinner out with some cool podcast hosts :-P Get out of the Convention Hall Events are more than Game Play Maintain your Personal and Physical Security Attending an Event Be prepared Manage Expectations Have Fun Summary Main Topic - How to make the most of a Big Magic Event   Contact Info You can check us out at brotherswarcast.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/BrothersWarPodcast Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/brotherswarcast/ Official Page: https://www.facebook.com/brotherswarcast/ Facebook - You can email us directly at mail@brotherswarcast.com On twitter @brotherswarcast twitch.tv/greenegeek Ryan individually @greenegeek http://www.imdb.me/cjwostal CJ individually @Sudge1 Zack individually @z4ck38

"Magic People" is an interview-style podcast that revolves around Magic: The Gathering and the humans that love the game. Our fourth episode guests Wedge, the anchorman and face of The Mana Source: an MTG YouTube channel dedicated to keeping us cardslingers up to date on all the happenings in the world of Magic. Wedge talks about growing up in the REAL Upstate New York, where all the cool kids were playing with powerhouse vintage-staples and jumped ship when Kamigawa was spoiled. Wedge found Magic again in college, which lead to The Mana Source, which lead to 50,000+ subscribers in very short order, proving to the leader of the Polo Nation that knowledge is power, and power is on Dominaria. Hosted by TheMagicManSam: www.youtube.com/themagicmansam33 www.twitter.com/themagicmansam3
