Magic Numbers this week is a KTK primer. But since I never played the format I asked a qualified Magic historian for a bit of help with the context. Also - episode 100 so come to chat and say hi to me and @TBSdash twitch.tv/sierkovitz

The best discussion I've heard on recent events, starring @TBSdash and @sickofit I'm a believer in exploring topics in length/depth, and if you take the time to listen here, it will unlock a lot of insight that The Website doesn't provide

Podcast is up! @lsv and I welcome @TBSdash back on the show to go back in time and review Mirage and Visions! These were really important sets as they set the block structure and also focused for the first time on Limited! And gave us Man-o'-War :) lrcast.com/limited-resources…

Podcast is up for the week! @lsv is out of town so we invited @TBSdash to break down the OP changes for us as we figure out the place Limited has in the new world, and he even walks us through old school Limited-only events from the past! lrcast.com/limited-resources…

I welcome @TBSdash back on the show to do a little listener Q&A. TBS brought a great perspective as a gaming exec to some questions about Arena, Organized play, Limited, and more. lrcast.com/limited-resources…

Connections. Don’t squander that. Recognize that all of your best off-ramps will come from your network. You get huge returns by putting effort into being friendly/outgoing/kind/anything that helps network/meet people. It’s the easiest way to make small progress that counts.

Show is up if you could use a break from all the news of the week. @lsv and I welcome back @TBSdash on the show to talk about the worst set(s) of all time? We look back at Fallen Empires, Homelands, and Chronicles. Interesting time for Magic. lrcast.com/limited-resources…

Let’s try that again: @MTGQuinn lost his team for #GPDetroit, keep him in mind if something happens and you need a third, or if you don’t have your team locked in.

Had @TBSdash on LR this week for the Top 5 things you need to know before attending your first big Magic tournament. You should go to one, and listen to this before you do :) lrcast.com/limited-resources…

My second interview partner is @TBSdash. I've already had the pleasure of playing against him at GP London earlier this year, and the rumors are not exaggerated: He is one of the nicest persons you can meet in a Magic tournament.
