Limited Resources

P1P1 from a draft I did

I had this pick in a draft. I threw it up on Twitter have gotten a lot of different answers, what is your take?

GUw With Some Bombs

I actually had to remake this deck in the collection tab on MTGO because I jumped in another queue but I think this was it exactly. 

Really leveraged Wild Onslaught better than any other deck I've had thus far in the format. That was the real MVP for sure (besides mom).

Had to get through one of the best Limited players on the planet in Marcio Carvalho to get the trophy too, so I kind of scrapped this one out honestly. 

Still, any deck with Shalai that can actually activa...

Episode 4-for-1 Ideas

Hey 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.  2018-05-14 23:18:57 +0000 UTC View Post

WB Pile o' Cards

Never really quite sure how to categorize these WB decks, but I did pick up a trophy with this one. 

I don't like the historic angle on these, and I basically never run Trapper, Cabal Paladin or Ascendent. I find them mediocre and even with the payoffs they are just ok at best. 

Cards like Sergeant at Arms are more what I want in this archetype; grindy, flexible options.

I did go for the Tragic Poet/The Eldest Reborn nonsense, which I don't normally do, but I often sided ...

New Patreon Reward: LR Discord

Hey All,

I'm always poking around at ways to give you value for supporting the show, and Patreon has set up really nice integration with Discord. So I've set that up and it seems to be up and running.

It also seems to just be adding people automatically, which isn't what I wanted it to do, so apologies if it added you and you didn't want that. I will post a link here for any Patrons that didn't get added, and you can use it for if you left, or want to come back as well. I'm also seeing i...

New Question of the Week Thread

Hey All,

Refreshing the PQotW Thread here since it's been a little bit. As always, if your question didn't get answered, feel free to repost it here! We have a lot to get through each time so we can't always get to them, but it's not because we didn't like your question, I promise :) 

Thanks!

Squeaked One Out With This

About as close as they get with this one.

RW has disappointed in general, and this deck was heavily dependent on the powerhouse cards it has (Verix, Shalai, On Serra's Wings, Serra Angel) while leveraging a reasonable if clunky suite of removal. The rest is very mediocre filler. 

My finals opponent had a super interesting 4 color deck built around 4 Ghitu Chronicler, Jaya's Immolating Inferno, and Urza's Ruinous Blast that used a UR wizards base to splash for green and white for var...

UG Tempo

Got another trophy with this one. The Blink of an Eyes and Academy Journeymages were key. Most games were ended by Academy Drake but I did have to bash through a Multani with a kicked Grunn in round 2 :)

UB Control

Hey All,

I figured one cool thing I could do is post some draft decks I've been drafting in the Patreon feed just for patrons only :)

Maybe it could give you an idea of some of the types of decks I'm having success with as a way to get a snapshot on what's going on in the early part of the format?

This was a sweet UB control deck that I ended up getting the trophy with. Very powerful stuff here! Low creature count is ok given the amount of removal and some extra card draw/library m...
