Hello and welcome to episode number 20 of limited resources. This is the Magic Podcast where we talk about limited magic primarily, but we cover almost everything.

And one of your limited resources, my name is Marshall. The other one is on the line with us today. His name is Ryan Spain. Hey,

Ryan. Hey buddy. What's going on, man? Not much, hanging out? I'm getting over a cold, but I'm fine.

I can tell. Yeah, I'm good though. It was worse before and yeah so one thing that we

like to recap every once in on the show is why we why we talk about limited it's because Ryan

and I both think that limited is a very pure form of the game and it's also a way to

experience magic as it's presented to us in a different way than constructed players get to because we get to play with all the cards that aren't

playable and constructed and there's a lot of really interesting fun interactions that you can have playing essentially all the cards that are printed.

Yeah, so I just like to cover that at the beginning of the show sometimes to let people know why it is that we do limited as opposed to just here's our magic show this is what we talk about.

They're mostly designing magic for us, you know.

overwhelmingly for us right? Oh yeah and they're putting a bunch of effort into

creating this little universe for tuned world that we get

and then adding one or sometimes usually two expansions onto it and then

presenting to us this little tweaked- tuned world that we get to explore every single time we draft and we get to see a little a different little portion of it every single time right?

Yeah and it's underscores the beauty of the rarity system too because they can make

commons for the limited players and yet make rares for every type of magic player under the sun and and not ruin the limited environment by

having a bunch of wacky stuff that's constantly showing up. Yeah, and you know the thing is like what you just said it's a limited environment. I mean it really is it's a

changing evolving meta gamey thing and that's a big part of skill and it's also just a big part of the interest in it right?

Yeah, I sometimes call it I call it MacGyver magic.

What do you mean make it up as you go?

Yeah well you have you're not making a deck with every
