463: Forecast Calls for HAIL - Episode 463

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!
🎙️ What You’ll Get in This Episode:
-ECL Format Truths (for real this time!)
-The HAIL Approach to Drafting ECL
-How to draft and win with RB Goblins
And more!
