-Overlooked Card of the Day: Limited Resources

-Average price on tcgplayer.com ($0.50)

-Why is it good?

-Limited Resources is a one drop that can devastate the board state at almost any point of the game. It does extremely well in a deck with a very low mana curve, and it can stop your opponents from playing almost any giant creatures or board wipes. Also, Limited Resources says that you can’t PLAY lands; however, if you load your deck with cards that put lands directly into play, then you can end up having more cards than all of the other players, greatly improving your board state.

-My Thoughts

-In my opinion, Limited Resources can, and will, win you games. If you make a deck with either a very low mana curve, or one that cheats lands into play, then you will almost always have an advantage over your opponents.

-Overall, I believe Limited Resources should be used more often, as it can give you a large board advantage, it prevents your opponents finishers, and it is essentially a Balance for lands.

This is a cool card in EDH for a few reasons. It can balance games and bring a game back under control. However, the biggest reason for its use is to keep opponents from having an arbitrarily large amount of mana. In the throes of a long EDH game, it can be painful to play knowing that no matter what an opponent does on their turn, they’ll always have enough mana to respond to whatever you play, whether it’s killing it on the spot or countering it (*glares at mono blue control*). Props to @overlookedmtg for bringing this to my attention.

this card is literally banned in EDH
