Ryan’s Comeback Draft: 2019-06-13 23:09:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey All,
Luis is feeling much better but still is worried about his voice going out, so we decided to let him take it easy and take the week off.
But that means we get Ryan back this week!
We have a topic lined up but I thought I would open it up for patron questions too.
Ryan worked at WotC for 8 years in R&D, MTGO, and Arena. He designed cards, user experiences, and got to see what it was like working as a game designer in the big chocolate factory in Renton. 2019-06-13 07:18:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Luis came down with a fever and probably the flu, so we've been scrambling a bit to get a co-host for the Modern Horizons Set Primer show this week.
Never fear, though, we secured OG LR co-host Ryan Spain! Ryan and I will be recording the show tonight (Thursday), and it should be up that same night.
Additionally: I am going to be doing a visual version of this one to try out how it comes out. Look for that on YouTube once I'm done editing it.
Now you ar...

This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis give you their initial impressions of War of the Spark Limited! Insanely, Luis comes up with a new category for this set; not prince, not pauper, but a something even crazier… This set sets new bars left and right, will it be remembered well or as a set too far? Join the discussion in this episode of LR!

This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis walk you through every single rare and mythic rare in War of the Spark! War of the Spark feels like the most bomb-laden set we’ve had in a long time, and that of course means you’ll want to know which rares are bombs and which to avoid. The guys may have set the record for number of A grades given out with this one…

This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis look back on a really good set, Ravnica Allegiance! It’s time to bid it farewell, but before we do we have to figure out which card was the biggest groan test, which had the best artwork, and all the other points of recognition shall we say, for the set.
And yes, Luis has his soundboard for this one…

It's pricey, but Crush Dissent *is* a built in two-for-one, assuming you actually counter something with it. Even if you don't successfully counter the targeted spell you'll still get to Amass. Amass basically gives you a 2/2 or grows an army token you already control by +2/+2, both pretty good. Also curious to see how Amass and proliferate go together :)

This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis tackle one of the most often-cited tools for Limited players: BREAD. Bombs, Removal, Evasion, and some other words that nobody quite seems to know are often used as a heuristic for drafting well. Marshall and Luis do not subscribe to this school of thought and give you the reasoning why. But it wouldn’t be LR unless they DID give you their approach and you’ll get to hear that this week on LR!
