What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of limited resources. This episode, number 648. My name is Marshall. I'm one of your limited resources and joining me on the line, all the way from Denver, Colorado. It's Luis, God Vargas. Luis, how's the week been?

Oh, it's been pretty good. Pretty good. Have a, you know, Santiago son is kind of sick at home this week. So that just means I got a lot of drafts in. So.

Oh, that's good because we're going to be talking about we used to call this the initial impression show. Now we call it the pre sunset show.

That's honestly what it feels like.

In this world of like drafts on demand on arena that are super fast, but also like 17 lands contributes to this. The fact that just there's more people enjoying draft, which is awesome. People streaming draft, all that.

But you remember like when I set used to come out in like two weeks in, you're like still kind of feeling your way around. Yeah.

I've been out for like a week. And I mean, I will use myself as an example, because I'm, I think quite literally 30 drafts in. But even if you even if you're 10 drafts in now, which I think I'm, I think I'm.

Yeah, which is, you know, I would say a modest pace, given how fast the drafts are. That's, that's still a lot. There's drafts entire formats. I didn't draft 30 times. Yeah, it's crazy. And you can just bang them out so fast on arena.

It's, it's a really great time to be a limited player. No doubt about it. But there are some artifacts of this that are just like it does make it feel like the set. I'm kind of over it. You know, it's like.

Like yeah, I've been there, done that. What's next. And we've got months with it. Thankfully, this set looks like it has some potential to correct. And it's going to need to. And we're going to talk about that today.

On our format overview show here for streets of New Copena before we do let's talk about our sponsors first up channel fireball. Make sure you check them out for all of your streets into Copena needs.

You can look at a rarity. You can look at shipping speed. You can look at what's it called condition price. Of course, is the number one. And then you can kind of pick accordingly from that where instead of from one store. Well, it's actually from a whole bunch of stores. So make sure you check them out. Channel fireball.com.

And that's FTX dot com for residents that live outside the United States. And look, this is a place to go. If you're looking to dip your toe into this pool, it's a changing world. Everything is moving and shaking quite a bit in this space. And if you want to get it on it, FTX is a place to go to do so once you're ready. Now I'll remind you that it is an investment.

And so if you're going to make an investment, it's going to carry risk. And you want to make sure that you consult an investment professional before doing investing of any kind. The show is also of course brought to you by you via the Patreon. Thanks everybody for their support over on the limited resources. Patreon. It's really the backbone of the show.

And we super appreciate it. One of the things that you get access to if you are a patron of any level, by the way, is the Patreon question of the week thread this.

We got a question here from Brian who says, can you please offer some advice on playing into and or around combat tricks. There are times when my opponent will attack with all their mana up and it feels like they have it.

But if I don't have any way to deal with it, I'm not sure if I should take the damage or just walk into the trick to get it out of their hand.

Thanks so much appreciate all you do on the show. Thanks Brian for the question. And it's certainly relevant for the format as well. There's a lot of playable combat tricks in this set. And they do see a decent amount of play as well.

How do you want to start that one? I mean, this is a kind of a half show topic. You know that Brian brings up here. But if we wanted to give the question of the week version, what would it look like Louise?

All right, well, there's this obviously, you know, there's like, like you said, you can do a deep dev on this and it would be a pretty good show. But especially, you know, for Marshall standards, but I would say there's some good heuristics for me early in the game, I almost all just block, right?
