A weekly podcast focused on limited/draft where I discuss an archetype, or color pair, in the current Magic the Gathering set. Commons and uncommons make up the majority of a draft so they will be the... more

March 20, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 74 - Gruul Big Disguise | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 74 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. The theme for Gruul (red-green) in MKM is Big Disguise. Take advantage that there are several commons with big disguise that go late. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more21minPlay
March 19, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 73 - Golgari Gravebreak | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 73 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. The theme for Golgari (black-green) in MKM is Gravebreak. However, many people have been unsuccessful at getting Insidious Roots and Chalk Outline to actually work. The archetype splashes well, especially for blue into the Sultai space, and you'll want to focus on extending the game with defensive creatures and removal. Then outvalue your opponent by collecting evidence from your graveyard. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more34minPlay
March 14, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 72 - Selesnya Go-Wide | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 72 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. The theme for Selesnya (green-white) in MKM is Go-Wide Disguise and it's, again, rather accurate. You want cards that are multiple cards in one and there are some disguise synergies although I do think it can be overdone. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more27minPlay
March 13, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 71 - Orzhov Disguise | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 71 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. The theme for Orzhov (white-black) in MKM is Pint-Size Disguise and it's rather accurate. You want disguise creatures, which all have power 2 or less, but try to focus on keeping your disguise cost low. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more23minPlay
March 12, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 70 - Rakdos Aggro | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 70 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor (MKM). The theme for Rakdos (black-red) in MKM is Suspect Aggro and, again, it's rather accurate. However, Repeat Offender is a major trap and one of the leaders among "Total Wins Destroyed". You'll want to focus on starting on turn 1, especially since you can catch people not doing anything until a disguise creature on turn 3. You have plenty of removal to choose from and should prioritize the removal that plays around ward 2. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more21minPlay
March 06, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 69 - Dimir Control | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 69 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. The theme for Dimir (blue-black) in MKM is Clue Control and it's rather accurate. The problem is spot removal is weak to the go wide strategy of Boros. As we reach the later part of the set Boros has been overdrafted so I expect Dimir to become more viable. You'll want to focus on removal, especially removal that gets around ward, and clue tokens/card advantage. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more31minPlay
February 28, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 68 - Simic Evidence | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 68 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. Simic (green-blue) is all about collecting evidence. I've found Green to be underdrafted, and there are some cards that get better the more green you pick up. But green also has great fixing for splashing. The choice is yours! In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more32minPlay
February 27, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 67 - Azorius Detectives | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 67 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. Azorius (white-blue) is all about detectives. The more the merrier as they synergize quite well off one another. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more19minPlay
February 21, 2024NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 66 - Izzet Artifacts | Murders at Karlov Manor Limited | MTG ArenaWelcome to episode 66 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. Izzet (blue-red) is all about going wide and sacrificing clue tokens. Unlike Boros, it looks underdrafted. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more34minPlay

A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Murders at Karlov Manor. Boros (red-white) is the early frontrunner after week 1. Focus on flooding the board and overwhelming your opponent. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards....more24minPlay
