  • 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.
