Landstill at #8 ran Tides. I was sooooo hoping to see a top 8 with no Dreadnoughts and no Parallax spells.

Top 8 without a single Dreadnought in sight.

Jarkeld Banding Budget โ€ข (Mono-White Commander deck) โ€ข Archidekt General Jarkeld - Commander deck Budget โ€ข Banding (1) Commander โ€ข (14) Artifact โ€ข (29) Creature โ€ข (7) Enchantment โ€ข (11) Instant โ€ข (37) Land โ€ข (1) Sorcery

TheMoxyFoxy has brewed a General Jarkeld banding deck, because why not focus on one of the most confusing mechanics in Magic's history using a cmdr that lets you swap blocks mid-combat? Best of all the deck is filled with old gems like Baton of Morale and Cooperation:

Premodern playset complete. That other Wish spell.

I hadn't seen the 5th Ed art when I bought the 4th Ed one. Or if i did at some point, I forgot about it. I defaulted to the art I had back in the day. But honestly, I think 5th edition is the way to go. Looks quite nice and is less controversial.

Snagged a couple of these while they are relatively inexpensive. Seems fun for RB Goblins.

Considered it. I just hate paying the 3 mana.

I like that for Slivers, but not nearly as good for white weenie. I run too many different creature types.

Need to get a couple more of these for Premodern, but they are now difficult to find and obnoxiously expensive. I'm not a Christian nationalist. I'm just tired of paying 3 mana for Glorious Anthem.

I've got a cousin that could blow it, but everyone else would be sitting pretty.

The Old Mage MTG YouTube channel is officially monetized (woohoo!). I wanted to add a custom emoji for each color in the color pie, but YouTube only allows me to add 4 customs atm. So black mages are getting stiffed, as they should be.

I can't remember what i wanted to do with this Premodern playset, but I had a good idea for it at 3am when I placed the order on tcgplayer.

Winning games with Corrupt and Nightmare sound good to you? Then check out this fun Premodern brew (it's a first draft, but promising).
