I’m hanging out with Marshall Sutcliffe, creator and host of Magic’s most popular podcast Limited Resources. Marshall is also the play-by-play commentator and host of premier Magic: The Gathering tournaments such as the Grand Prix, Pro Tour and the Magic World Championships.

Marshall talks about his thoughts on the game and what he hopes to create in the future. Also! I brought a few packs for Marshall to crack open in true Limited Resources style. This is a fantastic episode, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Marshall Sutcliffe.

To the content creators out there, remember what Marshall said, if you have an idea and you want to make something for the community, now is a great timing with the boom of Magic: The Gathering.

You may find Marshall online at LRcast.com, on twitter @Marshall_LR.

Limited Resources is also on YouTube, and, be on the lookout for Marshall’s new video content he’s working on. I’m excited for it to be released in the near future!

This week on the Cardhoarder Podcast we reflect on 49 episodes and the 25th anniversary of Magic: the Gathering.  Randy Buehler created a Patreon for a Team Draft Super league.  How will this be implemented on Magic Online?  With the Aftermath split cards coming into Standard, Wizards decided to refine the rules of the converted mana cost of split cards.  Other topics include Amonkhet spoilers, ranting on the visual template for Aftermath cards, and Dragon's Maze being a bad set.

Podcast BRazuca de Magic com notícias, resultados, economia, ficção e entrevistas. Para o público casual e profissional, é a sua fonte de entretenimento! Cada episódio é dividido em fases de um turno, cobrindo notícias, spoilers, preços, resultados de torneios e muito mais.

This week the guys discuss some of the recently spoiled cards from Amonkhet. We get a look at the new lands, some new gods, and Drake Haven (the best card in the set according to Mike). They also discuss the changes to the split cards that will coincide with Amonkhet’s release. Next they move into competitive and discuss the action from GP San Antonio. Last, we look into a spicy one in Dave’s Deck Corner.

Call in to the MNM crew for this episode ONLY at 555-MNM5!

We have lots of Amonkhet to talk about! There's a lengthy discussion about why people do and don't like the Invocations (even though they're awesome), a teensy bit of Team Unified Modern, and plenty of talk about split cards old and new. We're not entirely sure why no one called in to our awesome call-in spectacular. I guess you guys just prefer Twitter to communicate with us, and we appreciate it!
