Screenshot of NBC, showing Spurs vs Rockets tip off delayed to fix rim. The rim has a level on it, it looks level now.

A blue-green magic the gathering β€œcombo” deck that puts a lot of squirrels into play and draws a lot of cards, fueled by Gaea’s Cradle and cards that untap lands

Playing in a β€œPremodern+” event (Premodern with enemy fetches) this month. Gonna play this list that I’ve been playing in regular #Premodernmtg with worse mana. Love drawing my whole deck and then forcing my opponent to draw theirs +some

Two old toy poodles cuddled up on a comfy blanket on a couch. One’s grey, the other light brown. The light brown one has her paw on the grey one’s belly and is hanging over him like she’s holding him tight.

We found a forever home for Dante! I think Winnie is going to miss him though πŸ₯²

Some of this is a bit further from the venue, but you got a solid list for nearby recs already from someone else :)

What kind of food/budget? There’s a lot of good restaurants. The Michelin guide recently came to Atlanta as well.

Wildfire Emissary maybe, depending on how red you are. Good against Swords so it sticks around.

We are currently fostering a 13yr old grey toy poodle mix, he’s getting along great with our own two toy poodles. Here he’s featured cuddling up against our old gal Winnie.

ESPN we really don’t need to keep seeing the pain over and over. There’s plenty of exciting action to replay.

Two recent #premodernMTG decks I’ve had some succes with. Basically took the Tireless Tribe deck, yanked out Quiet Speculation and put that in WGU threshold, replaced it with Armadillo Cloak, Sylvan Library and Flesh Reaver.

Premodern is such a fun format!!

To all those that would like to try and are on the fence: there are several decks that you can build on a budget to play with friends, especially if you don't care about the original old border printings. Below, some low to medium budget decks I've built in paper:

Would you play the Remoras in regular Premodern with this experience?

Photo of a nicely laid out Premodern Unchained (one banned card allowed) deck, it’s akin to Deadguy Ale but with Necropotence and some fast artifact mana sources.

Jumped into the #mtgPremodern Unchained event last minute and decided to run back BW Necro with Diamonds. This time also Lotus Petals.

Sharing this quote from β€œOrigins of Totalitarianism” today for no reason at all: Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

A Invasion Block Contstructed deck all nicely laid out so the cards are visible. It resembles Kai Budde’s 2001 GP London winning decklist.

My deck for the last week of #mtgpremodern Spice Paradise. This deck was based on an old Inquest Invasion Block Domain deck that I always kept together as one of my first β€œreal” decks. I updated it with some insight from Kai Budde’s GP London winning deck.

Winnie (l) and Yuki (r) in their natural habitat. You can really see how they evolved to be perfectly camouflaged.

Creature suite is the exact 5 from the OG deck! I played a variant once in Extended, still one of my favorite decks of all time.

A white blue green control deck for the MTG premodern format, all laid out so every card is visible. A single mystic snake in the sideboard stands out with a modern frame, the rest is classic.

This week’s #mtgPremodern deck for Spice Paradise, inspired by an old Grand Prix winning deck. Yes, that’s Hunting Grounds with only 5 creatures main.
