Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we've got our week 1 info dump after jamming tons of drafts of Lorwyn Eclipsed. The limited community is all over the map on this format. Is it blisteringly fast or glacially slow? Is it full of unbeatable bombs, or does it reward great gameplay? Is at all elves and merfolk or are there plenty of viable strategies? We're here to outline exactly how we want to approach this format and believe that there's much more than meets the eye to the first set of 2026! Plus, how to draft RB Goblins!

It's a conversation about why you play the way you do, what you value when you sit down at a table, and how those values show up in your deck choices.If you've ever said “this deck just doesn't feel like me,” this episode is for you.JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
