The Best Case Isn't the Best Case

If you haven’t noticed by now, when I talk about limited strategy or theory I end up talking about the Limited Resources Podcast (www.lrcast.com). Today is going to be no different, and there is a reason why. The LR hosts are responsible for creating and expanding upon language drafters can use as a basis for argumentation and evaluation. This combined with being the first podcast on Magic I listened to have made them one of my biggest Magic influences. They’ve also done their fair share of fighting for clarity and against the hyperbole that I find obscures great discussion in Magic. Today, I want to talk about one of the first concepts I really felt I had a handle on, and was able to employ in my draft strategy, avoiding BCSM or Best Case Scenario Mentality.
