Episode 4-for-1 Ideas
Added 2018-05-14 23:18:57 +0000 UTCHey All,
Luis and I were going over ideas for episode 441 but I wanted to see what you thought. We have basically booked Ryan, Jon, and Brian to come on at different times (all of us at once isn't feasible nor is it a good idea I think).
Right now we have some questions lined up for each of them, and we'll likely be doing a special Let's Stump Vargas with each of them and Luis.
We'll also being doing a bevy of "four" related content like top 4s for a bunch of things.
I wanted to throw it to you all to see if there were any ideas you had on what we should do for this special episode too. I mean, you all are our most loyal and awesome listeners, you have to have ideas, right? Right?? :)
Fire away with any ideas and I'll bounce them off of Luis in our email leading up to the episode :)
THANK YOU!
Marshall

The nuances of 4 person drafting!

2018-05-17 01:59:09 +0000 UTCWe need topics based on the classic 4-for-1 cards: -- 1.) Tidings - each former co-host updates the audience with what's going on in their life. -- 2.) Opportunity - biggest blowout you ever dealt an opponent -- 3.) Cruel Bargain - worst blowout ever experienced playing Magic -- 4.) Breakthrough - when did you first understand card advantage? -- 5.) Meditate - current perspective on the Limited format of Dominaria

2018-05-16 15:15:50 +0000 UTCI think 4 crack-a-packs *and* four sign-offs might be a bit much in terms of time investment. But if they could fit in one or the other that would be sweet.

2018-05-16 08:53:41 +0000 UTCI'd like to hear if anyone has a 4-color deck they've played and they remember being strong. Also, was there ever a 4-color archetype in limited formats of yore?

2018-05-15 22:44:20 +0000 UTCThat would probably bring the show to a crashing end

2018-05-15 20:55:56 +0000 UTCTop 4: 4-for-1s should be a given i think

Will Henson
2018-05-15 19:22:32 +0000 UTCEach co-host does a crack-a-pack, and each does a sign-off. Can't think of anything more value-packed than that!

2018-05-15 17:20:05 +0000 UTCLively discussion to be had around what counts as a 4-for-1? Obviously sweepers 'could' be a 4-for-1, but you need the right board state for that to be true. Really any sweeper is just an X-for-X. Similarly, even cards as broken as Tetzimoc are capable of being 4-for-1s, but really are still X-for-1s that require the right board state. How many PURE 4-for-1s are there really? You always have to get four cards exactly, only cost yourself one, and be able to do this regardless of board state? Hat tip to Shane Garvey for pointing out Meditate. This would meet that threshold unless you factor in skipping a turn and costing yourself a draw step? I mean, how many of these cards are there really?

2018-05-15 16:07:12 +0000 UTCScore 12 points for each legendary or rare missing. Score 24 if missing the mythic. (Cards played in deck to count). Divide score by 1+number of wins in league. Lowest score wins.

Matthew
2018-05-15 13:42:28 +0000 UTCDo a dominaria draft online and try to build a deck with 4 legendary cards, 4 rare cards and 1 mythic rare card. (A competition between all of you to get as close as possible to 4 4 1) (Would need to do before podcast but can report on it).
Tim Boura
2018-05-15 13:19:52 +0000 UTCTop 4 responsibilities of the co-host. I’m thinking orginality, the ability to simplify complex concepts, sign offs, and humor.
Adam hoffmann
2018-05-15 07:31:59 +0000 UTCI guess I assumed Marshall would be ready to finally leave his emotionally abusive co-host, but I suppose Brian coming back would allow Luis to quit having to actually work for an hour a week. He already called in sick on a set review...
Adam hoffmann
2018-05-15 07:27:03 +0000 UTCYou think Luis or Marshall should ask that one? ;)
Limited Resources
2018-05-15 06:47:22 +0000 UTCTop four Mexican foods for sure. Bound to spark lively debate.

Michael Rawdon
2018-05-15 05:03:30 +0000 UTCObviously they’d eliminate Blue! 🤣
Michael Rawdon
2018-05-15 04:17:11 +0000 UTCAnd you'd need to talk about Meditate: <a href="https://scryfall.com/card/tpr/60" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/card/tpr/60</a>
Shane Garvey
2018-05-15 03:05:57 +0000 UTCHave each co-host do top 4 tips for getting better at limited, but make sure they come up with their lists independantly
Shane Garvey
2018-05-15 03:03:44 +0000 UTCTalk about sweepers. When to play them, when to hold off, when/how to play around them. Also do lets stump Vargas with a completely random selection of 15 cards
Tristin Diets
2018-05-15 02:18:57 +0000 UTCBWong needs to record a signoff.
Daniel Schneider
2018-05-15 02:11:29 +0000 UTCTop four single-set draft formats and your top four fist picks in Dominaria draft so far.
George Wright
2018-05-15 01:42:42 +0000 UTCColor pie top 4: If Wizards asked you to create a set where the plane was missing a color of Magic, which one would you eliminate (think Alara, but the color is entirely missing from the set)? How would you make up for its absence?
JeFF Stumpo
2018-05-15 01:16:56 +0000 UTCAsk each cohost to assign the other cohosts + Marshall one of the five colors (no repeats) with the goal being for all of the cohosts to provide the same color assignment. Like a four way newlywed game since they're being recorded separately and can't collude.
Matthew Taylor
2018-05-15 01:11:36 +0000 UTCTop 4 actual 4-for-1's in magic? Restriction: Luis can't have Tidings and Opportunity both on this list.
James Gardiner
2018-05-15 00:59:25 +0000 UTCTop 4 4/4s for 4? No idea how many of those exist :-)
Saralyn McKinnon-Crowley
2018-05-15 00:42:47 +0000 UTCTop 4 Commands (4 abilities for 1 card), or maybe top 4 planeswalkers with 4 loyalty abilities.
A.J. Frank
2018-05-15 00:36:27 +0000 UTCTop 4 commons you’d be happy to first pick in dominaria

2018-05-15 00:24:32 +0000 UTCI'd like to hear you guys do a 4th pick crack a draft with the former co-hosts and other friends of the show
Tyler Ward
2018-05-15 00:23:20 +0000 UTCTop 4 four drops with 1 toughness. Top 4 four drops. Top 4 co hosts. Top 4 top 4s.
Abe McKinnon
2018-05-15 00:23:11 +0000 UTCTop 4 limited archetypes from any limited format.
Chris Hantzmon
2018-05-15 00:22:48 +0000 UTCI would love to see the classic "Five-drop or zombie?" redone as "Four drop or (insert relevant creature type here)"!

2018-05-15 00:18:24 +0000 UTCYou’re all doing a chaos sealed. What 4 packs do you bring, and what kind of decks do you want to build?

2018-05-14 23:46:45 +0000 UTCI’d love a list of cool cards that have he potential to be 4-for-1s as-printed.
cn_monoxide
2018-05-14 23:45:37 +0000 UTCA focus on sweepers seems apropos, as they result in 4-for-1s the most often. Also, for a fun poll of your guests: The following four cards each have four different arts; who did it best?
