Time to recap my experience drafting the Hobbit blind - no previews, no discussion, no 17lands data. This episode mainly focuses on the topic of card evaluation.

2026/07/30

I've had a number of ideas for new cubes over the past two years, but haven't found the time, energy, or drive to actually see them through. So I'm tackling the problem head on - finishing a "first draft" of five cubes by the end of the year.

Episode 70 - I used to be bad at Sealed

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast ·

2026/07/16

I used to be bad at sealed. But some success in the format over the past year caused me to reevaluate those feelings, and I came out the other end with a real appreciation. This episode dives into what sealed is about at a fundamental level, including the big differences between it and draft.

Episode 69 - Stark Industries Executive ft. Justin Lenz

Red is definitely the worst color in MSH, but my friend Justin may have cracked the code - Stark Industries Exec, a very unassuming red common, but one that reflects the when, how, and why to draft red. Justin's red trophies - https://imgur.com/a/iYDa2Ju Linktree - https://linktr.ee/roughdrafts
