This week I am joined by Limited content behemoth, Chord_O_Calls AKA Alex Nikolic to talk about out set reviews for LCI from the perspective of an almost finished format.
I was always thorn about set reviews. On one hand they are useful to get accustomed with cards before the format starts, but on other, they are frequently based on wild speculations and - to my knowledge - rarely scrutinised for their accuracy.
To change that my set reviews are reversed. I invite a guest and review the set with them but do not release it. Instead of that, our grades wait locked up for the format to end. Then we can see what we got wrong and right. Where are the typical mistakes and how can we avoid them in the future. And who to do it better than one of the best card evaluators in the business?
See how we did and what we missed in LCI. Also - this is a sort of a send off of the format - in wait for the previews to hit.
