Draft Chaff

Lorwyn is known for haughty elves, sneaky faeries, mighty kithkin... and a very noticeable lack of footwear. We're excited to be back on one of Magic's most iconic planes, and the limited vectors are looking great! Get ready for your prerelease using our format breakdown.

Flameo, Hotman! It's time for us to dust off the, uh, Spiderwebs and dive into one of the most anticipated limited sets in a long time! Clues, red mana rituals, convoke (kinda) and counters? Unite these elements of limited gameplay and save... your winrate! We use Vector Theory to analyze the 10 new archetypes for draft and sealed. Let us know what you think!

Final Fantasy is here! This set was a big swing for Universes Beyond, and it seems to be a hit.

Listeners- this one is best viewed with video. Our prizes from the Collector Booster Arena Direct are here, and luck was really on our side (lightly more on Ben's side than on Tyler's).

It never hurts to call in a professional! After crushing it at the Pro Tour last weekend, we're excited to have Ryan join us this week on the show to talk us through what it's like drafting at the highest level. Give this a listen for some great motivation to be the best player you can be (and also for a quick aside about potatoes). Follow Ryan here:https://bsky.app/profile/r-condon.bsky.socialJoi...

Aetherdrift is quite the format! It's been a while since millstones were last playable. The racing teams are fast and all, but the early data tells us one thing: slow down and have a plan for the late game. Vector Theory can help us unify our plan across draft, deckbuilding, and gameplay! Join our free Discord server here: https://discord.gg/P4wQqGdYou can support Tyler and Ben on Patreon here: ht...

Okay, so this is technically not our very first draft like usual, but Ben was drafting at an RCQ over the weekend, so it's close enough! Mia joins the show for a special Valentine's day episode, and she knows a good Wurm deck when she sees one.
