These are my childhood Lackeys... I must've written "super lucky lackey" on this one back in 1998

Most memorable topdeck was Masticore. Phantom Nantuko drew the most readers. Symbiote + Hermit was gas all day! Hurricane was most valuable SB card

Ran Elves to the top of our "Off the Top Rope" modified Premodern event! Any card which involved touching a deck (drawing, searching, milling, shuffling) was disallowed. No IDs. Rounds moved quickly without all that pesky shuffling. Great event with 100% of entry to charityπŸ†

Continued to tweak Parfait and pulled in another 3-0 at our #premodern weekly! 🎣

This time I played against Pitless Rack, Enchantress, and Enchantress

Explored cutting AKs, cutting Zurs, and adding a more surprising SB pivot

Correct! 3 Opalescence and 2 Replenish to get them back are the only win conditions. You could throw in a Decree of Justice to spice things up

Premodern Enchantress, similar to Rich Shay's list
-1 Sylvan, -1 Sterling Grove, +1 Forest, +1 Replenish

And sideboard is more targeted for locals (Tsabo's Web)

Haven’t 3-0’d a weekly since March. Been getting whooped in the finals every time πŸ™ƒ
This week I played like a donkey, while pairing into all killers, and still somehow got there. Deck carried, but we take those πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

If given the chance to try the format again, I'd like to try something other than "jam four banned cards into an existing archetype" and explore something that can't exist in Premodern. Super fun event!
