CommanderCast S2E11 – Screaming Muses, Like Monster Trucks

Also of note:
- You need Skype (free to download up in this piece) and a microphone that works reasonably well. Bruce used a Rock Band microphone to record and sounded pretty sweet, so if you have one of them, try it (it also makes you feel like a rock superstar, always useful).
- Make sure you’re available April 30th, 2011 for 9:00PM EST. If you have engagements like sleep, weddings, or liquor store robberies, I’d recommend rescheduling.
- E-Mail CommanderCast(at)gmail(dot)com and express your interest with the subject heading “LIVE EPISODE”. If you know you will be available, provide me with your Skype name.
- BRACE YOURSELF and await instruction.
- We will be accepting callers on a first-come, first-serve basis. There might be four of you, there might be four hundred (probably not)! We’re going to cap it at a reasonable number, so don’t wait to e-mail me! Also, if you’ve already been on the show, be advised we will be giving priority to those who have never made a CommanderCast appearance (though prior guests will be more than welcome to join the host panel).
SHOW NOTES
01:00 to 05:16: Intro: We provide introductions. What a thrilling concept.
25:26 to 40:02: Strategy: Keywords: A quick discussion on the impact of keywords we love and hate on strategy. From exotics like Horsemanship to the fundamentals like Flying, how to keywords impact your strategy?
40:12 to 1:03:51: Strategy: Balancing vs Bandwagoning: In multiplayer, somebody is always winning. How do you respond when it isn’t you? Do you jump on their bandwagon to help them motor along and eventually STAB THEM IN THE SPINE WITH A RUSTED SPORK, or do you and the other ragtag losers at the table form a Rebel Alliance to take down the proverbial Death Star? What’s this whole Kingmaking affair you hear people bitching about? In this segment we look at the shifting dynamics of domination in a multiplayer game.
Daryll’s Picks: Wail of the Nim, Invulnerability, Balthor the Defiled
Bruce’s Picks: Dream Fighter, Phyrexian Splicer, Spoils of Evil1:25:45 to closing: Outtro.
