ErtaisLament.com on Monday Night Magic!

Another fixture of the Magic community has been kind enough to pass on the word about the site and contest we’re running. Tom and Eric of Monday Night Magic took a moment in their podcast to give mention.

Eric: I haven’t had a chance to review it yet, so I’m just gonna put it out there. It’s ErtaisLament.com

Tom: Oh yes, yes

Eric: Okay, so his blog is dedicated to all things preconstructed in the world of Magic, and to celebrate Archenemy he’s having a giveaway… He tells me I’m more than welcome to enter for myself, since I’m not a host on his blog I can enter. [laughs] But I already picked up all my Archenemy. I haven’t checked it out yet, so if you’re interested in preconstructed stuff… you can admit that Wizards is getting better at preconstructed stuff, so check it out!

Certainly between covering this past weekend’s StarCityGames.com’s Open in St. Louis and putting up several reporting podcasts as Mr. Suitcase on MTGCast, Eric’s had a lot to keep him busy- no worries on not making it over yet, but we hope he has a chance to visit and maybe check out the contest (since it’s not just Archenemy being given away!)

For those of you who haven’t yet discovered it, MTGCast.com is one of the best storehouses of Magic-themed podcasts on the web, and Monday Night Magic is their flagship production. It’s my Tuesday-morning must-listen on my commute to work, and we thank them for the mention!

ErtaisLament.com Featured on DeckConstruct!

Alright, so maybe featured is something of a stretch, but our humble little site garnered a welcome endorsement from Alex on the most recent episode of the DC podcast.

Here’s what he had to say:

Before we go today, I want to mention a couple of things. The first thing is a very cool website called ErtaisLament.com. And basically, this website is dedicated to preconstructed decks, so things like intro packs, Archenemy, Planechase, things like that- basically, decks that come readymade. And you’ll find reviews of preconstructed products on there, and even analysis of preconstructed decks as well, like for example the Duels of the Planeswalkers decks.

I think it’s a really good idea for a website, [one which] focuses really only on preconstructed deacks, and it might be especially handy to you if your focusing on coming back into Magic, or you just recently started Magic and you’re not sure about all the preconstructed products out there because quite a lot do come out with every set. So if you’re not sure about that kind of thing, then head over to the site and read some reviews, read some analysis of a few of the decks, and it will hopefully help you to decide on a deck that you might want to play.

For those new to the game and its culture, DeckConstruct has been around since 2007 and is one of the top Magic sites and resources around! DeckConstruct podcasts cover a range of topics, and the high production quality and thoughtful commentary really set it apart from many which (God love ’em) are just a fuzzy mic and a computer. The most recent podcast was a primer for newcomers to the game, and is well worth a listen. The website has also recently relaunched with strategy articles and forum, so if you haven’t before, make sure to stop on by!
