Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, Ben’s in Atlanta at the Magic Con, so Ethan is joined by Sam Pratt from the “Rough Drafts” podcast to talk about their week 1 impression of Through the Omenpaths/Spiderman. “Are you enjoying this set?” kicks off the conversation as we dive into Pick 2 and one of the most divisive magic sets ever made. We review a couple draft logs and talk about something that we think will come up a lot more often than anticipated: enemy color pair decks!

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’ve got a LOT to say about Pick 2 Draft after getting our hands on the set during Early Access and Pre-Release. We thought this draft format would teach people how to force, and we were dead wrong. Reading signals is KEY to Pick-2 Draft and we get into it on this episode as well as a draft log review, a discussion of top commons, and some individual movers up and down!
