  • Wish this was a Commander pod

    All of my friends that play MTG only play Commander now, and that’s the reason I play as well. I really think it’s the future of the game and I hope this podcast can evolve accordingly!

  • Great if You Know What You’re Doing

    I’m a relatively new player, having only played for around 1.5 years, but LR has been the main tool that got me from consistently going 0-3 or 1-2 to getting in top 8 every few drafts, and even winning on very rare occasions! Now, they do expect to have basic knowledge of what words like removal, ramp, aggro, midrange, and control mean, but if you’ve played for even a few months, you’ll understand exactly what they’re saying. They’ve got great card analysis, and they don’t just help you know wha... more

  • Back Again Thanks to Cube!

    I listened to the show for a very long time until my Magic hiatus for 10 years. I came back to magic for Cube and EXACTLY that moment, LR got more Cube content and now LSV is here so, I assume, the content train is all headed my way. Thanks guys!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Limited Resources 876 - Reality Fracture Update Plus New Cards for the Arena Powered Cube with Zach Barash!
Q: What was the theoretical approach to this particular change?
Zach says this update was not built around one large experimental package. It adds more than 20 cards, including support for existing strategies and some new tests, while aiming to keep the Powered Cube dynamic and meaningfully different across versions.
Limited Resources 876 - Reality Fracture Update Plus New Cards for the Arena Powered Cube with Zach Barash!
Q: Any advice on when and where to point your removal in the first, say, three to four turns to ensure maximum value?
Luis recommends prioritizing mana efficiency, developing creatures before spending removal when possible, and planning turns that let a player cast multiple spells. Marshall adds that aggressive decks generally preserve creatures for repeated damage, while control decks are more willing to trade early to maintain a high life total. Both stress that these are heuristics with exceptions.
Limited Resources 875 - The Reality of Reality Fracture with Sierkovitz
Q: What are the three things that are important in this format?
Sierkovitz prioritizes card draw to get through demanding boards, removal to answer powerful threats, and engines that generate repeatable value.
Limited Resources 875 - The Reality of Reality Fracture with Sierkovitz
Q: What is the best deck in this format?
Sierkovitz says the best deck is the most open lane in the draft pod. Average archetype win rates are close enough that forcing the top-ranked pair can lead to a weaker deck than drafting an open alternative.
Limited Resources 871 - The Hobbit Sunset Show with Paul Cheon
Q: What was the most surprising thing about the set, or what did you misjudge during reviews?
Crude Bent Blade surprised us both with how strong the rate and cost-for-effect were, turning into a potent late-game threat and shaping removal priorities across colors.
