The Shows

Limited Resources (RSS): Limited Resources is a weekly podcast dedicated to improving your skill at Magic: The Gathering, with an emphasis on Limited play. The show was started in 2009 with hosts Marshall Sutcliffe and Ryan Spain. In 2011 Ryan was hired into the R&D department at Wizards of the Coast, and as a result Jon Loucks joined the show as the co-host. After a long stint on the show, Jon was also hired into R&D at Wizards of the Coast in 2013. Brian Wong joined Marshall as the new co-host shortly after, but left late in 2014, making way for LSV who joined in 2015.

Constructed Resources(RSS): This is an even newer podcast about Constructed, mainly Standard focused, with the goal of having you walk away from each show feeling improved at Constructed Magic. It features Marshall Sutcliffe (Host of all the shows here) and Jon Loucks (an old LR host, and with a one-for-one episode here).

The 1-for-1(RSS): This is a new podcast where Marshall interviews interesting people. This is not currently slated to be a regular show, but one where he can record episodes as they present themselves.
