0:00.0	What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Limited Resources. This episode,
0:18.1	number 704. My name is Marshall. I'm one of your limited resources and joining me online
0:24.1	all the way from Denver, Colorado, it's Luis, Scott Vargas. Luis, you got to do the early
0:30.3	access event for Lord of the Rings set. What's your first impression? It's been pretty fun.
0:37.2	There's a lot of different stuff going on that also kind of doesn't result in the most complicated
0:44.8	of games. The set's not as complex as March of the Machine, but so far I have liked it.
0:52.8	Honestly, my biggest gripe with the set is people who tell me I'm pronouncing the cards wrong,
0:56.9	because Tokyo had some weird KAC switching system. As you know from our Sylvan Karyatid and
1:04.8	Colitas battles, I'm not interested. You plant your flag and you stick with it. I know how you
1:11.4	roll, man. But no, it was fun. The early access was fun. I think it was cool. They made cards like

1:41.4	that I feel like you can't take them over to catch your breath, which I like. I think that
1:45.6	modern limited trends towards if you don't have two plays by turn three, right? Like a turn two
1:52.4	play and a turn three play, especially on the draw. How many games feel hopeless in the last five
1:56.5	six? Yeah, it's been really tough. Most of them, right? I haven't found Lord of the Rings to be
2:01.1	like that. I actually have found that you cannot make plays and still actually be in the game. So
2:06.3	that's a cool and welcome kind of addition to the format. Yeah, we came away from the common
2:12.2	and a common set review, both feeling a little bit of course that vibes and that's not a knock on
2:16.4	it. That wasn't like we hate this or something. It was just feels pretty stripped down. Nothing too
2:21.0	complicated going on here. Pretty basic, but thinking about it, it makes perfect sense, right? There's
