Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’re diving deeper into Tarkir Dragonstorm and what makes this format so hard to talk about! Unlike a prescribed paint-by-numbers archetype system, this format truly is a blank canvas and leaves a lot up to the player to figure out. But we’re here to help!

-Mana Base Tips and Traps

-Drafting Styles of Decks vs. Clans or Color Pairs

-Understanding Your Preferences

If you’re approaching the drafts of this format like any other, you’re going to get into trouble. Knowing the styles of decks instead of the color pair archetypes, knowing how to off-ramp from one style to another, and feeling confident to enact your own preferences are the keys to success. Join us as we break it all down in this episode!

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. We’ve got a full week of drafting under our belt and are here to share what our winning (and losing) has taught us! The community seems split between two distinct factions in the world of Tarkir Dragonstorm and we look at both sides of the coin and how different approaches can lead you to success!

-The Four Buckets of Decks in TDM

-Why Missing Land Drops is Devastating

-Mini-Dive on Boros Aggro

Even your two hosts are split on which camp they feel a strong preference for after one week, which leads to some great discussions and perspectives on how to draft the format. Whether you’ve been crushing or struggling, this episode has a lot to offer for drafting Tarkir Dragonstorm!
