Summary

This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis cover the three major archetypes of Limited: Aggro, Midrange, and Control. These are all part of the same spectrum of speed, but require vastly different approaches to be successful. The guys give you updated information on these strategies and discuss how to adjust to modern day Limited sets!

LR is brought to you by FTX: FTX.US for US based customers and FTX.com for outside the US.

How's it going over there in the in the Rockies? Oh, it's going well. It's a nice sunny day today and snow tomorrow. What's that snow tomorrow? Then I've been to Denver. I know how you guys roll over there. Yeah, we finally got summer over here as well.

0:44.0

Took a long time. Normally it starts about a month ago and we just kind of got it this week, but I'm certainly glad for it. It's always nice when summer finally gets here.

0:54.0

We're going to be talking big picture stuff here on the show this week. This is one of our level up episodes. We're going to talk about how to draft agro mid-range and control and how they are different.

1:04.0

And the things that you need to know that can help you kind of categorize the decks that you draft the ones that you like and how to maximize on those as well. Before we get into that, let's talk about our sponsors.

1:14.0

First up, Channel Fireball.com. It's of course, if you want to order up any of the exciting new products that was as the coast has brought out recently, they've really kept that factory role. And you know, for the past few years, it's felt like there's never a time when there isn't a new product coming out.

1:30.0

And well, that's certainly going on right now. If you want to pick up any of the new stuff head over to Channel Fireball, you can have the marketplace for singles or sealed product and do some comparison shopping to get the best price as well as condition shipping to be that type of stuff as well.

1:47.0

But all in one place at Channel Fireball. It's really great. And of course, if you're looking to improve your game, which kind of assume you are since you're here, you can head over to Channel Fireball to their CFB Pro section.

1:59.0

This is where you can read articles, videos and content from some of the best magic players in the world, all with the goal of helping you improve. If you need to get up to speed on a format, constructed deck, anything like that CFB Pro is pro is where you're going to want to be.

2:13.0

If you do pick up anything over at Channel Fireball, if you use the affiliate code LR, when you check out, you just type in those two letters into the little box at the end of the checkout. I do appreciate it. It helps out the show.

2:23.0

Let's know that we're the ones that sent you over shows also brought to you by FTX. That's the the place to buy sell and trade digital assets. If you're within the United States, it's FTX dot us. If you're outside of the US, it's FTX dot com. And you know, here in the US, the regulated and safe to make sure that everything's on the up and up. I will remind you that if you do want to do any investing of this kind, you should consult an investment professional. As as always, there is risk.

2:52.0

Risk involved and you want to understand those risks before you invest, but when you're ready to FTX dot com outside the US and FTX dot us within is ready for you. We think them for their sponsorship.

The show is also of course brought to you by you via the Patreon. It's patreon.com slash limited resources and if you sign up, you get a thank you card and a LR sticker that you can throw on your laptop or water bottle or car or whatever you'd like.

3:18.0

At any level, this is our way of saying thank you for supporting the show. And we really do appreciate each and every person who does so. I got a patreon question of the week and it's actually inspired by a play that I once saw. I think it a GP.

3:34.0

Is it ever correct or could it be correct to miss a land drop on purpose to try to entice your opponent to play perhaps further into a sweeper effect.

3:47.0

So I've actually done this before at a grand pre even. Maybe it was you. So that was the actual example. Well, there we go. I do think it is it can be correct.

4:00.0

So this was in a mirrored and sealed grand pre scars of mirrored and so the second time it came back and there was mirrors and mirrors are one ones that tap for mana.

4:11.0

And I played a turn to mirror and then my opponent had a bunch of removal in their deck and my hand was a ton of lands. And so I decided, you know what?

4:21.0

I think that my bet the best chance I have to win this game is to miss a land drop play play my card and then hope they use removal spell on a mirror.

4:31.0

They did and I did go on to win that game because I just had so little action. And they weren't doing anything that I thought missing a land drop wouldn't hurt me, but if I got them to use a removal spell on one of my mirror.

4:40.0
