423: That’s What I’m Tarkin’ About - Episode 423

That’s What I’m Tarkin’ About | Maximizing Your Preferences in TDM Draft

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’re diving deeper into Tarkir Dragonstorm and what makes this format so hard to talk about! Unlike a prescribed paint-by-numbers archetype system, this format truly is a blank canvas and leaves a lot up to the player to figure out. But we’re here to help!

🎙️ What You’ll Get in This Episode:
-Mana Base Tips and Traps
-Drafting Styles of Decks vs. Clans or Color Pairs
-Understanding Your Preferences

If you’re approaching the drafts of this format like any other, you’re going to get into trouble. Knowing the styles of decks instead of the color pair archetypes, knowing how to off-ramp from one style to another, and feeling confident to enact your own preferences are the keys to success. Join us as we break it all down in this episode!
