49:50 counterpoint: a table yesterday passed me 4x Glidedive Duo 1x Monstroboar 1x Lizard Recruiter It turns out you *can* just stuff your deck with 5-drops (and play 18 lands) if they're all first-pick good 😉
My opponent at prerelease casted a Patchwork Banner and announced rabbits when he had no rabbits in play, so that made me nervous, then he casted the white season card and made 5 rabbits, then the following turn attacked with all of them and casted the overrun spell. I went from being ahead in the game to losing very quickly.
My partner and I go and get an old set prerelease kit probably once a month or so (LCI last weekend), always a blast! We learn together and get to play too! Win win! So glad to hear others do the same thing!
@@starmanda88 Oh we just grab em from the LGS that we play prereleases and draft at. They (usually) have extras. Bloomburrow was the exception, they sold out before the end of the weekend. But all the rest, they have extras in the back for sale, just gotta ask.
Don’t sleep on Treeguard Duo as a green common. It’s very easy to go wide in rabbits, squirrels or raccoons, and this card can break open a game quite quickly. It was particularly good in raccoons where you have good access to trample, pairs well with several red uncommons (Brambleguard Captain, Quaketusk Boar, Heartfire Hero) and triggers Valiant and Expend.
I had it in the prerelease with a go-wide deck, and it's GREAT with flying/trample and TERRIBLE if you don't have evasion. Lots of tokens to chump block with in this set
Very surprised splashing wasn't really mentioned. I went BW Bats and then splashed red for the exile 2 lizard (got two of them). Having so many flying bats made it incredibly easy to trigger. I think you can reasonably run 3 colors in this set. I ran into a RW valiant deck that splashed Black for removal that did really well.
did my best ever saturday with a 5-1 showing using Gruul (going in wanting to play White in some form, but interaction built my deck). only had 1 payoff for expend but a good few 1 drops and very aggressive cards in a slightly high curve. Hivespine Wolverine, Hazardroot Herbalist, Roughshod Duo, Rabid Gnaw, and Heartfire Hero did absolute WORK. Hugs, Hired Claw, and Mistbreath Elder also did their things. 1 lost round came down to Clifftop Lookout throwing my Hugs onto the bottom of the pile (looks like i should have run blacksmith's talent instead lol)
Came to say the same thing. If the card said "Draw 8, Discard 4" I think people would realize it's quite strong. In BG I found the damage didn't matter as long as I had time to eat some food, the graveyard filling was relevant, and it had a lot of lines. The games it sat in my hand doing nothing were the ones I was already destined to win because I'm going 3-4-5-6 on my opponent.
I think people will be very surprised how many creatures not of that specific color pair work well with the decks. Birds and Mice, otters that ping for lizards, or rats that surveil for squirrels. Just draft the archetype not the tribe. The elementals are all amazing looking and aren't in the tribes.
The opening comments about Moose Loose immediately reminded me a of a Maynard's Advert from 1993. There is even a Moose above the fireplace. Every time I play the card I will have that tune in my head, Great show. ua-cam.com/video/qqCZe3WA-zE/v-deo.html
As someone trying to get into limited, you guys have been tremendous at making this format so much more enjoyable. Much appreciated boys!

This is a great idea, where can you find them?

Loving the turnaround on starforged sword. Glad you see the light!
Aww UA-cam comment section, we got mentioned! :D

I like a limited format that discourages you from clinging to bomb rares and forcing them into any multicolor deck.. OTJ..
with Valient white red, is it better to draft the enablers first or the payoff cards first?
how many moose is too many? in Bloomburrow how many 5-6 drops is okay? I really love the white Cyotte but seems like it gets passed to me.
Y’all are both the Goat.
Stargaze was impressive

Green is good and blue is bad. Seems like the theme for 2024 limited.
Blue is usually bad in limited. They make it up in constructed.
Clifftop lookout is goated for serious
B-
When did Ben lost the green screen?
We thought it matched Ethan's background better to lose it. thoughts?
@@LordsofLimited i can't say i had even noticed the difference prior to these comments, but i think this video looks nice.
@@LordsofLimitedbetter.
Anyone think Ethan Saks looks like Tommy Veitor? I sure do.
I usually stay with a color so my next guy don’t miss on the signal~~ however, for this set when the pool is good, the felt is awful.

Clifftop Lookout is just a better Elvish Rejuvenator.
I’m a true believer on this one
