In one of the biggest leaks in Magic history, the entire New Phyrexia set has made its way on to the internet more than two weeks before the prerelease. Instead of diving into the set review two episodes early, though, Marshall and Ryan opt to start from a more pulled-back perspective, taking a look at the mechanics in the new set and discussing their impact on both Scars-block Limited and Magic as a whole. What does Phyrexian mana mean for the future of Magic and the integrity of the color pie?Bonus! Ryan unveils a new Draft-Sealed hybrid format ideal for heads up, expandable to include more, and even adaptable to cube. Check it out and help him name it! Marsh also shares a tournament report from the Nationals qualifier this past weekend.Show References: New Phyrexia Product Page: http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/article.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/newphyrexia/mechanics LR MTGOAcademy.com Videos: http://www.mtgoacademy.com/index.php?s=%22limited+resources%22Limited Resources is proudly sponsored by Card Kingdom!

After back-to-back special-guest episodes, Marshall and Ryan return to dynamic duo status, letting loose on a variety of topics including the morality of stalling on MTGO, breaking down aggro infect vs. control infect, an interesting double crack-a-pack, and a weigh-in on the Ban Jace issue. Yes, even the Limited show can pontificate about the health of Standard as it relates to the problem planeswalker.Show References: Rocket video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAsSexJF1Wo Rocket card: http://imgbin.org/images/3782.jpg MTGOAcademy.com Videos: http://www.mtgoacademy.com/index.php?s=%22limited+resources%22Limited Resources is proudly sponsored by Card Kingdom!

Marshall and Ryan catch Magic luminary Mike Flores for an evening on their home turf, and Marsh remembers to bring a microphone! The Limited Resources boys set a highly-structured MSS Limited agenda for the show. What are Mike's top uncommons in MBS? How do mana myrs affect his land count? Which cards have changed most in value from triple SOM? Which are criminally underrated? LR asks, and Flores answers.No, just kidding: they talk about whatever the hell Mike wants to talk about, of course! Sometimes it even has something to do with Limited Magic: The Gathering, but whatever...check out one of the least-focused, most-fun Limited Resources episodes of all time, Michael J. Flores style!
