Limited Resources 80 - You Had Me at Immolating Souleater (NPH Set Review Part 1) Apr 29, 2011

Show notes

It’s set review time! Marshall and Ryan use the early leak to do their ever-popular blow-by-blow of the new commons and uncommons in two parts. This week, artifacts, lands, and white cards get the full Limited Resources treatment. Also, the boys weigh in on the suspensions surrounding the New Phyrexia leak, and talk about the upcoming Magic Online Community Cup.

Limited Resources 79 - Bye, Bye Miss Phyrexian Pie Apr 22, 2011

Show notes

In one of the biggest leaks in Magic history, the entire New Phyrexia set has made its way on to the internet more than two weeks before the prerelease. Instead of diving into the set review two episodes early, though, Marshall and Ryan opt to start from a more pulled-back perspective, taking a look at the mechanics in the new set and discussing their impact on both Scars-block Limited and Magic as a whole. What does Phyrexian mana mean for the future of Magic and the integrity of the color pie?

Limited Resources 78 - Ban Flesh-eater Imp Apr 15, 2011

Show notes

After back-to-back special-guest episodes, Marshall and Ryan return to dynamic duo status, letting loose on a variety of topics including the morality of stalling on MTGO, breaking down aggro infect vs. control infect, an interesting double crack-a-pack, and a weigh-in on the Ban Jace issue. Yes, even the Limited show can pontificate about the health of Standard as it relates to the problem planeswalker.

Limited Resources 77 - Cube Panel Apr 07, 2011

Show notes

Marshall and Ryan welcome cube experts Thea “@wmap” Steele and Usman “@usmantherad” Jamil for a Q&A on building, sleeving, shuffling, and playing a Magic cube. Don’t be a square, make a cube!

Limited Resources 76 - Flores in Seattle Apr 01, 2011

Show notes

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.

Limited Resources 75 - Sliding Scales Mar 25, 2011

Show notes

Inevitably over the course of a Limited format, one’s assessment of cards and archetypes shift from where they began. After updates on the new Card Kingdom store, the Limited Resources clan, Rocket, and Ryan’s Constructed rating, Marshall and Ryan throw out some Mirrodin Besieged cards worthy of discussion and reevaluation.

Limited Resources 74 - Strictly Speaking Mar 18, 2011

Show notes

This week’s show is a topical grab bag, with an Extended PTQ tournament report, a crack-a-pack, some cube talk, and discussions of Magic ratings, Ryan’s recent heater, and R&D weighing in on the “Strictly Better” debate via Twitter.

Limited Resources 73 - Taking Control Mar 11, 2011

Show notes

Mirrodin Besieged has slowed down the Scars-Block Draft environment, providing some fantastic new tools for control decks in MSS Limited. This week on LR, Ryan and Marshall discuss some key cards and interactions in the archetype. Also, they respond to feedback from last week’s Magic Psychology episode, and take issue with one of Travis Woo’s Magic Myths.

Limited Resources 71 - Head Games Mar 04, 2011

Show notes

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.

Limited Resources 71 - Mirrodin Besieged Triple Play Feb 25, 2011

Show notes

Marshall and Ryan review their early attempts to crack the triple Besieged queue. Are there a couple of standout archetypes or is this a more nuanced format than we’ve seen in some previous triple-small-set environments?
