Limited Resources Video: MSS #2

Limited Resources Video: MSS #2

Back with another retro draft, Marshall and Ryan go over one of Ryan’s recent MBS-SOM-SOM draft replays with a fine-toothed comb. How do the decisions align between Marshall, Ryan, and Past Ryan? There are differing viewpoints as usual, but Past Ryan finally ends up with something to hold over the two critics…

The triple Mirrodin Besieged queues are gone, and it’s time to tackle the real deal: MBS-SOM-SOM! Pick and play along with Marshall and Ryan on their first run through the MSS 8-4 queue together. What would you do with an off-color bomb after pack one?

Limited Resources #76 – Flores in Seattle

Limited Resources #76 – Flores in Seattle

Marshall and Ryan catch Magic luminary Mike Flores for an evening on their home turf, and Marsh remembers to bring a microphone! The Limited Resources boys set a highly-structured MSS Limited agenda for the show. What are Mike’s top uncommons in MBS? How do mana myrs affect his land count? Which cards have changed most in value from triple SOM? Which are criminally underrated? LR asks, and Flores answers.

No, just kidding: they talk about whatever the hell Mike wants to talk about, of course! Sometimes it even has something to do with Limited Magic: The Gathering, but whatever…check out one of the least-focused, most-fun Limited Resources episodes of all time, Michael J. Flores style!

Limited Resources Video: Triple Mirrodin Besieged

Limited Resources: Triple Mirrodin Besieged Draft

Join Marshall and Ryan for a run at the short-lived triple Mirrodin Besieged queue. Despite being 4-3-2-2 only, the triple small set queues are a great way to build up your collection of the new set while seeing tons of new cards in action. Also, players that crack the format before it’s gone can reap huge rewards.

Limited Resources #72 – Head Games

Limited Resources #72 – Head Games

Why does losing a spell to discard feel worse than losing a creature to removal? Why does losing because of an empty library feel worse than losing to creature damage? This week on Limited Resources, Marshall and Ryan discuss how to keep your head on straight and play your A game when faced with some of the logic-defying aspects of Magic psychology.
