Gatecrash Spoiler 4

~
Happy Monday MTG peeps,

We hope all of you had a had a great weekend.  As for ourselves, we took a life-gain build to a Modern format tournament at OMG! Games this weekend and got absolutely crushed.  Some pics from the tournament here, here and here.  Although our life total was often up over 50 and cards such as Serra Ascendant or Divinity of Pride were on line or Ajani's Pridemate was a massive 14/14, we just could not quite get to the finish line.  We definitely need to drop in to MTG Mint Card to pick up some cards for some sideboard changes against all the infect decks that seem rather popular.

Anywhoos - onto today's big Magic: the Gathering news!  Official Gatecrash previews have now started over on the mothersite and dang!, things are looking rather exciting.  Whether your favourite Gatecrash Guild is Orzhov, Gruul, Boros, Simic or Dimir, there is some cool new cards for your consideration.  The Gatecrash minisite containing the 4.1.1. on the set is now also live and frankly, we're like a kid on Christmas and don't know how we're going to last a full month before the prerelease and prerelease promos.

Some cards of note from today - for the rest, look to our Gatecrash Spoiler List . . .
