The nuances of 4 person drafting!

Ben Norris

We need topics based on the classic 4-for-1 cards: -- 1.) Tidings - each former co-host updates the audience with what's going on in their life. -- 2.) Opportunity - biggest blowout you ever dealt an opponent -- 3.) Cruel Bargain - worst blowout ever experienced playing Magic -- 4.) Breakthrough - when did you first understand card advantage? -- 5.) Meditate - current perspective on the Limited format of Dominaria

David P

I think 4 crack-a-packs *and* four sign-offs might be a bit much in terms of time investment. But if they could fit in one or the other that would be sweet.

Peter Smith

I'd like to hear if anyone has a 4-color deck they've played and they remember being strong. Also, was there ever a 4-color archetype in limited formats of yore?

Limited Resources

That would probably bring the show to a crashing end

David Lehner

Top 4: 4-for-1s should be a given i think

Will Henson

Talk about some sweet ways to use sagas and kickers

Brien Howard

Each co-host does a crack-a-pack, and each does a sign-off. Can't think of anything more value-packed than that!

Eric Lynch

Lively discussion to be had around what counts as a 4-for-1? Obviously sweepers 'could' be a 4-for-1, but you need the right board state for that to be true. Really any sweeper is just an X-for-X. Similarly, even cards as broken as Tetzimoc are capable of being 4-for-1s, but really are still X-for-1s that require the right board state. How many PURE 4-for-1s are there really? You always have to get four cards exactly, only cost yourself one, and be able to do this regardless of board state? Hat tip to Shane Garvey for pointing out Meditate. This would meet that threshold unless you factor in skipping a turn and costing yourself a draw step? I mean, how many of these cards are there really?

Tim Boura

Score 12 points for each legendary or rare missing. Score 24 if missing the mythic. (Cards played in deck to count). Divide score by 1+number of wins in league. Lowest score wins.

Matthew

Raffle off a Skype draft to a listener.

Tim Boura

Do a dominaria draft online and try to build a deck with 4 legendary cards, 4 rare cards and 1 mythic rare card. (A competition between all of you to get as close as possible to 4 4 1) (Would need to do before podcast but can report on it).

Adam hoffmann

Top 4 responsibilities of the co-host. I’m thinking orginality, the ability to simplify complex concepts, sign offs, and humor.

Adam hoffmann

I guess I assumed Marshall would be ready to finally leave his emotionally abusive co-host, but I suppose Brian coming back would allow Luis to quit having to actually work for an hour a week. He already called in sick on a set review...

Limited Resources

You think Luis or Marshall should ask that one? ;)

Josh Bell

Top four Mexican foods for sure. Bound to spark lively debate.

Michael Hutton

What 4 things has marshal learned frm his co-hosts, and for each of the 4 what 1 thing have they learned from him? :)

Michael Rawdon

Scryfall says 104! 5 of them in Dominaria.

Michael Rawdon

Obviously they’d eliminate Blue! 🤣

Shane Garvey

And you'd need to talk about Meditate: <a href="https://scryfall.com/card/tpr/60" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/card/tpr/60</a>

Shane Garvey

Have each co-host do top 4 tips for getting better at limited, but make sure they come up with their lists independantly

Tristin Diets

Talk about sweepers. When to play them, when to hold off, when/how to play around them. Also do lets stump Vargas with a completely random selection of 15 cards

Daniel Schneider

BWong needs to record a signoff.

George Wright

Top four single-set draft formats and your top four fist picks in Dominaria draft so far.

JeFF Stumpo

Color pie top 4: If Wizards asked you to create a set where the plane was missing a color of Magic, which one would you eliminate (think Alara, but the color is entirely missing from the set)? How would you make up for its absence?

Matthew Taylor

Ask each cohost to assign the other cohosts + Marshall one of the five colors (no repeats) with the goal being for all of the cohosts to provide the same color assignment. Like a four way newlywed game since they're being recorded separately and can't collude.

James Gardiner

Top 4 actual 4-for-1's in magic? Restriction: Luis can't have Tidings and Opportunity both on this list.

Saralyn McKinnon-Crowley

Top 4 4/4s for 4? No idea how many of those exist :-)

A.J. Frank

Top 4 Commands (4 abilities for 1 card), or maybe top 4 planeswalkers with 4 loyalty abilities.

Matt Biddulph

Top 4 commons you’d be happy to first pick in dominaria

Tyler Ward

I'd like to hear you guys do a 4th pick crack a draft with the former co-hosts and other friends of the show

Abe McKinnon

Top 4 four drops with 1 toughness. Top 4 four drops. Top 4 co hosts. Top 4 top 4s.

Chris Hantzmon

Top 4 limited archetypes from any limited format.

Toni Mohr

I would love to see the classic "Five-drop or zombie?" redone as "Four drop or (insert relevant creature type here)"!

Matt Schneeweiss

For the sign-off: times you've 4-for-1'd in real life, outside of Magic.

Ira Humphrey

You’re all doing a chaos sealed. What 4 packs do you bring, and what kind of decks do you want to build?

Matthew Klundt

Battlebond is coming out soon. Which co-hosts would pair best play-style and personality-wise for 2-headed giant teams?

Adam hoffmann

I’d ask Brian what it would take to bring him back as co-host...and then give it to him! ;)

Andrew J Dufour

Who’s the second best guest host on LR?

Josh Feathers

Kessig Prowler. The only 4/4 for 1 (kinda)

An IRL Rabbit

If you could make a cube or draft environment with only four colors, which ones would you choose?

cn_monoxide

I’d love a list of cool cards that have he potential to be 4-for-1s as-printed.

William McDuff

A focus on sweepers seems apropos, as they result in 4-for-1s the most often. Also, for a fun poll of your guests: The following four cards each have four different arts; who did it best? Unsummon (<a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CUnsummon%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CUnsummon%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set),</a> Doomsday (<a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CDoomsday%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CDoomsday%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set),</a> Shivan Dragon (<a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CShivan+Dragon%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CShivan+Dragon%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)</a> & Birds of Paradise (<a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CBirds+of+Paradise%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%E2%80%9CBirds+of+Paradise%22&unique=art&as=grid&order=set)</a>

Limited Resources

I like it!

Addison Fox

The classic 4 for 1 being Opportunity, I would love a segment about missed opportunities that you notice limited players leave on the table, or opportunities you've had in your careers.
