Episode 45 - Brambleback Brute

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast

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.

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast

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. GBu - Naya - 4c Black - Gb - Urg - Linktree -

Episode 38 - Raucous Audience

Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast

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. Paper 3-0 - near monogreen - GRw - Gb - Gr - Linktree -
