NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 81 - Orzhov Attrition | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 84 - Gruul Power 4+ | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

Welcome to my final episode of No Rares Required. Thank you to all who have followed this series throughout the years. I have learned a lot about draft and I hope you have as well. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week I cover the last archetype for Outlaws of Thunder Junction: Gruul. The theme for Gruul (red-green) in OTJ is 'Power 4+'. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 83 - Boros Aggro | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

Welcome to my Draft Guide for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week I cover the last two archetypes: Boros and Gruul. The theme for Boros (red-white) in OTJ is 'Mercenary Aggro'. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 82 Azorius Take a Break | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

Welcome to my Draft Guide for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week Azorius had the 2nd number of votes. The theme for Azorius (white-blue) in OTJ is 'Take a Break'. The idea being to take a break on your turn and cast spells on your opponent's turn. And it has been a bit hit-and-miss. There are a couple great payoffs for taking a break but there are traps as well. As with most blue strategies outside of Simic (which is really a green strategy anyway), I've had the most success treating it as a spellslinger archetype with a low creature count. Focus on flyers and out tempoing your opponent with disruption from blue. In this episode I also go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 81 - Orzhov Attrition | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

Welcome to my Draft Guide for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week Orzhov won the vote. The theme for Orzhov (white-black) in OTJ is Attrition. Many of the signposts feel like 'Orzhov Sacrifice' would have been more fitting, but you do have access to a lot of removal so 'attrition' is fairly accurate. Focus on removal and flyers and take advantage that the signpost uncommon, Ruthless Lawbringer, is underdrafted. In this episode I also go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

NO RARES REQUIRED: Episode 80 - Simic Plot | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited | MTG Arena

Welcome to episode 80 of No Rares Required! A weekly podcast focused on strategies for drafting the current set: Outlaws of Thunder Junction. The theme for Simic (green-blue) in OTJ is Plot. Plot is a trap. Focus on the good green creatures and protect them at all costs with Snakeskin Veil and Counterspells. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards.
