Archetype Architecture Part I: Izzet - Episode 469

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with the viral “9 Cards That Made Me” project. Then after a quick recap on our TMT pick-1 draft thoughts, we dive into a new episode series on Archetype Architecture and kick things off with Izzet. We look at what the archetype does historically, and why it’s been more or less successful in certain sets in the play booster era. Then we explore what the scaffolding of those sets can teach us about predicting this archetype’s strength in future sets.

🎙️ What You’ll Get in This Episode:
-9 Cards That Made Us!
-Check-In on TMT Pick 1 Drafts
-Izzet in the Play Booster Era Deep Dive
And more!
