it was great to finally get to meet Old Mage Alex!
can't wait to hear about your experiences on the show

also worth noting that these platforms are intentionally built to draw you into ~engagement~ so they can sell advertisers ~impressions~.

a good football scout Matt Waldman called "social media" a "daily test of patience" because they thrive on Enragement Engagement.

helped someone shuffle BoW at an FNM.
activated many Mindslavers 😈

crashed a Legacy tournament in the early 2000s with my teenager friends. we fielded 6 copies of Shared Fate Control.

some people had to experience SF multiple rounds in a row, and watch 2 copies make top 8 of ~30.

Played Lands in the Buckeye Brawl this weekend and finished 13th of 90. Deck felt cracked, but unfortunately did not show up for my two win-and-in rounds in R5 and R6. #MTG #MTGPremodern

we had some sick Hailstorm action at the Buckeye Brawl last night. i loved to see it.

fond memories of people incredulous at its existence back in Time Spiral Standards

I brawled to a 5-2 finish with my big, bad shrimp at the first Buckeye Brawl. Good for 18th. Biggest win of the day were the sick new Islands from the charity raffle!

R1—Moneyball LWL
R2—Moneyball WW
R3—Counter Rebels WW
R4—RG Oath Ponza WW
R5—Angry Hermit LL
R6—Enchantress LWW
R7—Gro-a-Tog WW

Piloted White Weenie to a 4-3 finish at The Premodern Buckeye Brawl in Columbus, OH. 96 mages assembled at The Warp Gate to cast spells and raise money for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. 🧵

90 Players entered and one Red Mage emerged victorious at the inaugural Premodern Buckeye Brawl! Congrats to our champion Evan Smith! And a huge thanks to all for a wonderful day of Magic

The Gathering is undefeated

if i could send this picture back in time to 12 year old me, that little shit would be freaking out rn.

much love to Card Castle Games here in the home of the Retromancers 🥰🤩

unsurprisingly, turns out i was following it already, lol.

from the bottom of my heart, appreciate your preservation of this snapshot.
from a young age i considered a Gold Border a "Badge of Honor" for the card.

In an effort to get marginally better at a nostalgia format of Magic the Gathering, I've started blogging my weekly events. Probably boring, probably not many insights to be gained, but fuck it we blog!

nice! Blogs and Zines is a very PreModern way to do things, lol

the ~gender binary~ is Colonization of the Mind

from a big Gold Border collector; excellent looking cube!🥰

PreModern Treva Landstill - Premodern A Premodern deck created on Moxfield by Spire Golem.

Prismatic Strands if you want something that works against Swamps as well.

i would consider 2-3 Absolute Law in the sideboard. really shuts down Sligh and Goblins' ability to control the board

colonizer landlords and guillotines both exist on this physical planet
: -)

i find it disrespectful when they reprint Invitational cards without the Player's image.

Shrimpin’ it up at this weekend’s Full Grip Games #Premodern Quarterly in Akron. Nearly got there in the tournament. But the Gathering is undefeated as always

R1 vs Sligh WLW
R2 vs Stasis LWW
R3 vs UW Control WLW
R4 🤝
R5 🤝

QF vs UG Madness WW
SF vs Enchantress WWL (homie scoop)
F vs Goblin LWL

Congrats!
and Thank You! for advancing PreModern Science!
i think it's been known by many for a long while that HFEB is probably among the better decks, but we lacked the mtgo functionality And dedicated players to prove it.

i love to see this closed format metagame keep pushing forward!
