Lords of Limited

This week, we're going through not one but TWO entire draft logs from our time in Strixhaven Limited.  We break down the reasoning behind each pick, the different elements we're juggling as we progress through the draft, and what the final build for each deck looks like! Ben's Draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/6019342090944d7ba900c772f571ce23  Ethan's Draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/0940f15b72d94672818e7f6b00d6630f 

For our May Bonus Episode, we sit down with one of the founders of and current Chief Marketing Officer for ChannelFireball.com, Mashi Scanlan! We ask Mashi about a number of topics including the origin story of CFB, leaving his job as a lawyer behind, what is important for making good content, and if the current MTG Boom is sustainable. We loved this unique opportunity to hear from someone who's been in the content game from its inception! Support the show at: patreon.com/lordsoflimited 

Now that we're a month into our semester at Strixhaven, we're ready to hand out Gold Stars and Demerits to our big overperformers and underperformers. Where did we go wrong in our evaluations? What cards have surprised us the most? And where have we landed on the top commons for each college? All this and more in this week's episode! Roundtable: https://www.17lands.com/draft/31b77ca2e17540abb03a1ad8bce9630d 

It's lecture time on Lords of Limited this week with a huge focus on the headliner mechanic from Strixhaven: Learn/Lesson. We discuss why Lessons are so important, how they should affect your draft and pick order, when to grab which one when in different situations, and how certain Learn cards stack up against the top commons in their respective colors. There's a lot to "learn" from this episode, so you won't want to miss it! Roundtable: https://www.17lands.com/draft/6beca2d308d540d3b645e39edadc9625 

With the upcoming MTG Arena Sealed Open, your hosts have only one thing on their mind: a $2,000 cash prize! That's why this week we're talking all things Strixhaven Sealed, from overarching heuristics, to individual card overperformers and everything in between!  Sealed Pool: https://sealeddeck.tech/2W7SmOEA4d  Ethan's Build: https://sealeddeck.tech/17lands/deck/7fac91e3c35249d1a19a8792654b3d62/0  Ben's Build: https://sealeddeck.tech/Gb21lIcyND 

As with any "guild" style set, it's incredibly important to try and find the open draft lane in Strixhaven. This week we're talking about all the considerations for changing majors in this format and put our discussions into practice with two draft logs reviews. Draft 1: https://www.17lands.com/draft/cc5bbd1f251b40c1b8daed302139e627  Draft 2: https://www.17lands.com/draft/dd36d411a1c848b7b8c9c9f4cc772438 Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/lordsoflimited 

With a full weekend of drafting under their belt, your hosts are here to give you our first impressions of what Strixhaven Limited has to offer. We discuss our thoughts on Learn/Lessons, Magecraft (aka Bencraft), review all 5 colleges, specific over/under performers, and finish things off with a roundtable!

For our 200th (and second bonus) episode, we decide to shake things up on Lords of Limited. This week, your hosts are getting to know each other better with a back and forth interview style show to peel back the curtain and understand more about the men behind the Magic!

It's the first day of class and your hosts are here with a full syllabus ready to go! We talk through tons of big picture statistics for the upcoming format, then go through our biggest grading disagreements, and finish off with top commons/uncommons for each of the 5 colleges!

With the full Strixhaven Spoiler here a week early, your hosts are jumping right in to the deep end with predictions on what the archetype skeletons will look like for each of the five colleges in the upcoming set. This will be a great companion piece to next week's crash course episode and will help you to start thinking about these cards in the context of each deck, not just in a vacuum. Enjoy!
