We released our MTGGoldfish deck editor this week! You can now build decks and share them with your friends. It works with our "My Price" feature so you can price the deck based on the cards you own. Feel free to try it out under Tools > My Decks. View our video demo below:
MTGGoldfish Podcast
I'm super excited to announce the launch of the official MTGGoldfish podcast! The weekly podcast will discuss the latest in Magic the Gathering news, give you insight behind the numbers on the website, and provide in-depth discussion behind the articles. This week I'm joined with our host Chaz from BoltSnapBolt (and admin of the MTGFinance facebook group) and our popular mtgfinance author Seth (@SaffronOlive). We'll be discussing the Fate Reforged Spoilers and design precedents in the set. I hope you give it a listen and subscribe on iTunes! If you have any questions to submit for next week's mailbag, tweet using #mtgfishmail and we'll cover it in next week's episode!
Getting Started on Magic Online for $20
Magic Online has been getting a bad rap in the community lately. However, the truth is while it is far from perfect, it is perfectly acceptable 99% of the time. If you love Magic the Gathering, you'll love Magic Online. I know the task of building an online collection is daunting, so I put together a complete guide for getting started on Magic Online for under $20. If you are sufficiently skilled, with the initial $20 you can play for free and earn tickets towards more cards. Check out our Getting Started on Magic Online $20 video.

Tomer is back with another great Budget Commander article. This time he builds a great deck for a more serious/competitive playgroup: Budget Commander: Talrand, Sky Summoner. Tomer has also setup a Twitter account, so be sure to follow him: @ACommonCauseMTG.
