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

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?
