M11 Videos

~
Good Day folks,

Today, we are going to take a short break from examining all the new M11 spoilers and previews to give you guys some useful items of use if you are heading out to the Magic 2011 Pre-Release this weekend. Prerelease events for Magic 2011 are July 10-11, and the set goes on sale July 16. *Don't forget to check out the completed M11 Visual Spoiler >HERE.

Most every pre-release and launch party tournament do not require decklists but here is a handy Magic 2011 Checklist that you can download and print off for reference.


M11 Checklist

Next up . . .

Some very excellent videos Magic 2011 Planeswalker's Primers to ensure you are on top of your game and not look too confused when you hit the pre-release / launch party or just your local FNM . . .

New Card Cycles including Planeswalker-themed signature spells, Titans, and Leylines.


Take a look at Scry, an existing keyword showcased in the core set for the first time. To “scry N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, put any number of them on the bottom of your library in any order, and put the rest on top of your library in any order.


Take a look at Deathtouch, an existing mechanic that got a rules update for M11. Starting with M11, deathtouch no longer ignores blocking order in situations involving multiple blockers. Additionally, you only need to assign a single point of damage from a creature with deathtouch to each blocker, which makes deathtouch a potent combination with trample. A 4/4 with trample and deathtouch can assign one damage to a blocking 8/8 and the other 3 damage to the defending player.


Take a look at Protection, an evergreen keyword featured in Magic 2011. Protection is a static ability, written “Protection from [quality].” This quality is usually a color (as in “protection from black”) but can be any characteristic value. Reminder text usually reads something like "This [object] can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything [quality]."


Take a look at Shroud, an evergreen keyword featured in Magic 2011. Shroud is keyword ability that prevents a permanent or player from being the target of spells or abilities.


That's it for now folks - last check on MTG Mint Card looks like almost all of the new M11 cards are up and available for shipping out after the official release on 17th July.
