This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis go over the big picture archetypes in MKM from top to bottom. The white decks are winning more than anything else, but the overall archetype scheme is more closely packed than you may assume. The guys also do two crack-a-packs as well as some discussion around morphs vs disguised creatures. Enjoy!

**Key points for RVR draft:** All the cards in the set are reprints from previous sets happening on Ravnica. If you’we been around for a while, you know what that plane is all about. If not, there’s a single most important thing to keep in mind: There are ten 2-color guilds, each with its own signature theme. So, in the vast majority of drafts, you want to be drafting a 2-color deck. However, it’s perfectly reasonable to splash a bomb, from a adjacent guild. For example, say you’re playing Selesnya (green-white). You could easily play Assemble the Legion. That’s possible, as there’s plenty of mana fixing available. Keep in mind, that each card in your deck should ideally met at least one of the following criteria: * It works well with your guild’s theme, or; * It’s just a strong card on its own. Obviously, if both conditions are met, that’s especially great. So, let’s take a look at the archetypes and figure what each archetype is trying to do.

KTK is coming back to Arena! TL;DR on draft strategy: > There are a couple of ways you can try to approach Khans of Tarkir drafting. My favorite strategy is to position myself for a 5c/good stuff pile early on, then move into a specific archetype/clan if I keep getting passed good cards. Some of the best strategies from the Draftsim guide: * BWr Warriors * Simic Bear Punch * Ugx Morphs * BGx Toughness Matters * Practically any clan combination
I've been really enjoying this set, it seems a bit slower and more complex to me than the last couple. All the colors except green seem decent and even the aggro decks need a lot of synergy to function well. I went 7-1 with this Dimir Descend deck on the back of [[Aclazotz]] and two Uchies. The playset of [[Echo of Dusk]] was really good - turns out a 2 mana 3/3 lifelink is pretty dece.
