A NEW FORMAT JOINS THE FAMILY We're ready to welcome Premodern to the MTGO Roster! Get ready to party like it's 1995-2003 🥳 youtube.com/shorts/qBDI7...

Since Premodern arrived on MTGO a few days ago, I've been jamming a ton of games with Gobs, and having an absolute blast. It's so much fun to Port + Warchief + Piledriver people, cycle Gempalm Incinerators (and easily connect with Lackey lol). First trophy here!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCcR... Made a video for the first time in a long time! Not stellar results but genuinely a bunch of really good quality games. Had some better results off-camera with some list tweaks, doing a SB guide for EW players!

Yoooooo someone top 8d the challenge with my list, always super exciting to see!

🏆* (first match win through disconnect). Port Gobs actually doing substantially better than Tombs in this new meta for me. Might come down to extra R source more than anything though. Beat blue Post, GB midrange stuff, UR tempo w/tamiyo, and Omnisneak. Gonna -2 surgical -1 REB for 3 Leylines prob.

UR + Colorless being the top decks immediately postban just makes sense, but it is inescapably funny that UB reanimator top 8s the first showcase after banning Entomb.

Please make it stop

We've now suffered the tragic loss of Tatsuya Nakadai (92), Japanese film icon, and my personal favorite actor. He's the GOAT. I want to go through all of the films of his that I've seen to pay tribute to such a wonderful and talented actor.

Alright so didn't really hit any of the top priorities of the format (huge L) but Entomb + Nadu ban decreases Legacy's overall "well that's dumb and immediately wins"-type games, so I can't be TOO bad. Not sure what I'll do with Gobs from here, but I'm at least interested in trying things out now.

In order of necessity of making the format interesting: Tamiyo Planar Nexus Kozilek's Command Entomb The One Ring Probably but not necessarily Nadu

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

Tonight is absolutely amazing, all the worst people are completely eating shit

Might be my favorite horror movie, it's just so damn deeply unsettling!

Something really perverse about Magic's direction is just how much it is a product attempting to hijack your identity. Century-of-the-self-ass card game. Prove your devotion to your toys by spending absurd $$ on serialized, hyper-personalized advertising in the shell of a game piece. It sucks!

Here are 4 standard-legal cards I think are neat and make me happy when I get to play with and against them in non-rotating formats. "Designing for Eternal" is broke. Let the cool Magic cards trickle down to their forever homes.

All the videos and photos from the protests today are insane morale boosts, it rules.

GO MARINERS

Very genuinely will kinda freak out if they don't ban Planar Nexus and/or Kozilek's Command. The extremely explosive colorless combo deck that kills you through turn 1 Null Rod pretty easily is not okay.

North America Eternal Weekend 2025 Legacy Champs Data Sheet hosted by @cardtitan.bsky.social #MTGLegacy 944 players. Won by the one and only Tom Basketball on Mystic Forge. Also Loam Pox in the Top 8! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

EW Top 8 pretty clearly signposts which decks need to be taken down a peg. Colorless Bullshit.dek and UB Reanimator (again). There's a lot of fair discussion to be had about what exactly should be hit though (other than Tamiyo 100%)

Promises #MTG

Legacy hot take I developed last night: Planar Nexus is better than Mishra's Workshop would be in the KeyRing deck.

It’s kinda funny that basically every early criticism people made of bringing other IPs into Magic came true

Yo Jimbo

Actually maybe getting somewhere with "neoclassical" Vial Goblins. Really focused on streamlining my engine so that I wouldn't run out of cards, and be resilient vs spot removal. Reanimator, mono U Jewel, Jeskai Wizards, Cephalid Breakfast, Reanimator

I'm a certified Oops hater but absolutely love deep dives on the history of Legacy decks, I contain multitudes.

Got tempted into watching All the President's Men on Criterion then realized I absolutely cannot handle the psychic damage of seeing journalists at the Washington Post do their jobs

Thinking once again about the greatest match of Magic: the Gathering ever played. youtu.be/jkwLJjBGzEE?...

Strongest possible cosign

No Ancient Tombs, some Ports AND Mogg War Marshals? What a day. (Port was actually pretty decent, MWM probably just better as Searslicer)

They should probably ban every 1-3 mana creature in Legacy that draws a card when it attacks/deals damage. That design is just so inherently busted with Force of Will that is sorta devolves the entire format around that class of cards.

Went to the Paris theater in NYC today with two great friends and saw Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm. Absolutely stunning picture quality, it was a brand new print.

Man I miss Rishadan Port

Duel Commander giving me some new experiences still; Recruiter pass into Snoop with Arena of Glory. I had Snoop in hand > Goblin Chirurgeon on top of the pile so I could combo with protection and ended up beating this Kinesis with exactly enough Goblins in play. Infinite mana > muxus > Kiki Crafter

Wotc if you’re taking recommendations on which singular showcase to look at to influence your next bnr decision, might I suggest this one?

Got a new video up for the Vial-less build! www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Wq...

In a time of dire need and abject suffering, this is the least we can do. This organization is legit (a quick check on Charity Watch speaks highly of their efficacy). Donate if you can!

I've been killing it with Vial(less) Goblins recently, so I've put together a sideboard guide for the Patreon, which will have a few more matchups added to it across the summer. Check it out! www.patreon.com/posts/legacy...

An immutable law of the universe is every time you’re playing MTGO and say “okay 1 more match before bed” you instantly pair into the slowest possible opponent

Got a video out with this new spicy list, catch these goblin hands www.youtube.com/watch?v=v51h...

Pulled out another Duel Commander trophy same night as Legacy, I'm just on a 10-0 tear tonight! Drew a lotta Goblin Recruiters in this one, essential to beat the nearly unwinnable Light Paws matchup.
