  • Show Has Fallen Off Bigtime

    It’s gotten to the point where I see my performance suffer if I listen to the show early in the format. I think they’re too hostile about 17lands data, to the point where it’s obnoxious. It feels like their feedback has become too insular due to the discord, leading them to often make really off base hot takes or come off like they have zero clue what’s going on in the format. This used to be one of my favorite limited podcasts, but it has quickly dropped to the bottom for me.

  • A Must Listen Limited Podcast

    This is not only a fantastic strategy resource for improving at limited, but very entertaining as well. The two hosts, Ben and Ethan, have great chemistry together, and include just enough nonsense to keep you entertained, without detracting from the educational value.

  • Super engaged Hosts

    Hey Ethan and Ben, love your Podcast, Longtime-Listener since Ixalan. They are very different to the gold standard Limited Resourceses but in no way worse. In some Categories like 50 Takes in 50 Minutes and Crash Course I think they help players like me (not bad, but no pro or full-free-time-player) even more. Also it is really cool that they build every credit they have cause of their hard work with this podcast, not cause they were pros or stars that make now a podcast. Very cool, keep on doin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

470: Team Sealed at Shoebox - Episode 470
Q: How does Team Sealed differ in deck construction from traditional Sealed?
Team Sealed uses a shared pool where three players build three decks, and a team's overall record determines the outcome, which requires coordinating deck roles and sharing information to maximize synergy across decks.
465: ECL Difficult Draft Decisions - Episode 465
Q: How do decisions in drafts develop massive decision trees?
Decisions aren't compounded within just pick four; they create large branches of choices influencing the later picks.
449: Great Day for a Q&A - Episode 449
Q: What skills from your other professions do you think would help you the most in Magic?
As a teacher, I have to be extraordinarily patient, which should help me with tilting.
449: Great Day for a Q&A - Episode 449
Q: What's your opinion on what going deep in a format means?
Going deep is about understanding the format completely, and then choosing things other than what's supposed to be right while still trying to win.
449: Great Day for a Q&A - Episode 449
Q: What makes good formats good?
Good formats have strong removal, colorless mana fixing, and synergistic decks that are greater than the sum of their parts.
