Inevitably over the course of a Limited format, one’s assessment of cards and archetypes shift from where they began. After updates on the new Card Kingdom store, the Limited Resources clan, Rocket, and Ryan’s Constructed rating, Marshall and Ryan throw out some Mirrodin Besieged cards worthy of discussion and reevaluation.
This week’s show is a topical grab bag, with an Extended PTQ tournament report, a crack-a-pack, some cube talk, and discussions of Magic ratings, Ryan’s recent heater, and R&D weighing in on the “Strictly Better” debate via Twitter.
Mirrodin Besieged has slowed down the Scars-Block Draft environment, providing some fantastic new tools for control decks in MSS Limited. This week on LR, Ryan and Marshall discuss some key cards and interactions in the archetype. Also, they respond to feedback from last week’s Magic Psychology episode, and take issue with one of Travis Woo’s Magic Myths.
Why does losing a spell to discard feel worse than losing a creature to removal? Why does losing because of an empty library feel worse than losing to creature damage? This week on Limited Resources, Marshall and Ryan discuss how to keep your head on straight and play your A game when faced with some of the logic-defying aspects of Magic psychology.
