487: Golgari in the Play Booster Era | Archetype Series: Part 2 - Episode 487

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’ve got part three of the Wedding Paternity Chronicles. Today is another episode from the Archetype Architecture series featuring Golgari. 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 these trends can teach us about predicting this archetype’s strength in future sets.

Limited Magic Hot Takes
Ben Trying to Outsmart the Draft
