Limited Resources - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This show is a must for anyone that is aspiring to be better at Limited. Marshal and LSV have great chemistry. The information is thorough, current and easy to listen to! We’re all very fortunate to have LR as a resource. Even when I’m not excited about a particular limited format I still look forward to each and every episode! Enjoy!

This podcast is my go to whenever I am going to a draft or prerelease they are to the point and care about the power of every card in any set

The hosts have a great banter going on and the content is top notch. As much educational as it is entertaining.

After a hiatus, I jumped into arena with a strict free to play mentality. I was glad to see LR still rocking and the host’s insights are invaluable. I listen on the commute to/from work then apply what I’ve learned in the evenings.

I was surprised, and quite frankly confused, to see some recent negative reviews. There are many podcasts I listen to and honestly LR has the least intrusive ad/sponsorship mentions of all of them. I routinely skip through 2-3 minutes of ad content in others, while Marshal just briefly mentions LR’s at the beginning of the show. If LR got a good sponsorship deal and that lets them keep the lights on while providing top notch FREE content…then why would that particular sponsor bother someone enough to leave a one star review?

Having listened to the podcast for years, I’ve learned a bunch, leveling up my Magic gameplay and really enjoying the back and forth between Marshall and Luis. Beyond the Magic, I’ve gotten great book reviews, food talk, and tips for life in general. These guys have been companions while I work, especially their hours-long reviews of each set as it comes out.

However, recently the duo have been sponsored by FTX, a cryptocurrency and NFT business. They encouraged the listener to educate themselves on the details, and reinforced that they are not financial advisors. Well, I did the research, and not only are these currencies bad business, they’re incredibly toxic to the environment, burning energy at such a wild rate for a lot of risk and not a lot of reward.

Frankly, I find LR’s endorsement of this company and their general attitude towards crypto and NFTs reprehensible. Beyond the fact that the practice is the equivalent of a snake oil salesmen burning down trees to stay in business, any critique of the practice in the community is met with people calling others idiots and spouting what-aboutisms aimed at China? Not really the community I want to be a part of.

All to say, I won’t be listening to the show until the sponsor is dropped. The guys don’t owe me or the other people upset by this anything, but I also don’t have to listen to this, either.

Anyway, there are loads of great podcasts that can fill this niche. I will be taking my ears and time elsewhere.

The decision to support FTX is extremely questionable especially after Marshall has been outspoken against supporting poor sponsorships in the past.

I thought this was a fad but their continued sponsorship of a terrible pyramid scheme has lead me to question their integrity on the subject matter they review. I have found better alternative limited-focused podcasts to follow
