Limited Resources #42: Rares of Rise

Limited Resources #42: Rares of Rise

We always tackle the commons and uncommons of new sets first because they ultimately define the overall Limited experience. Once the rares have sunk in a bit, though, it's good to take a close look at the cards that can define individual drafts: the rares. Join us for a blow-by-blow of all Rise of the Eldrazi rares.

Thanks for listening and Happy Pre/Releasing from the LR crew!

(PS from Ryan: Almost done with a ROE walkthrough, look for it next week!)

A Bunch of ROE Drafts

My puremtgo writing has been lacking of late, so here are a bunch of ROE drafts of mine to at least look through. I haven’t made comments on many/any picks, but if you leave a comment with a question or comment on a given pick, I will add a comment to it. Be sure to name draft, pack, and pick (e.g., #22 P2P10). Also, one of these drafts could be my next walkthrough article, if you see a draft where you are extra curious about the games, let me know and maybe that will be the next write-up…
