Episode 54 - Limited Fundamental Theory

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast ·

2026/03/26

This week I'm tackling some broad theoretical concepts, ultimately trying to tackle the concept of every midrange deck being a midrange deck, and how we can leverage that in draft and deckbuilding decisions.

2026/02/12

After returning (mostly) triumphantly from Toronto, I'm armed with a new view on the concept of a metagame in limited. I provide some insight into why that's an important thing to consider when getting scrappier in drafting and deckbuilding, and lay out some specific tools within ECL.

A new format dawns, and ECL is looking sweet - and a lot grindier than we're used to. In this episode I'm comparing what's important in this format to the previous, while also taking a look at some high-impact creatures, and turning the concept of the importance of removal on its head.

Episode 40 - Barrels of Blasting Jelly

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast ·

2025/12/16

Barrels is a card I was really high on week 1, and less so as the format developed. But I do think it's an important piece of the puzzle, as is understanding the ins and outs of manabases and multicolor in Avatar.

Episode 38 - Raucous Audience

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast ·

2025/12/04

Green in TLA is mostly viewed as a base for splashy, rampy decks like Temur Lessons. But I've had a lot of success with playing green as the base for an assertive midrange deck, built around Raucous Audience as a powerful two mana accelerant.
