Welcomed these gold-bordered beauties to the collection. From the 2000 Jon Finkel World Championship deck.

Premodern Monthly report from fellow Retromancer Tony www.retromancers.org/2026/06/02/a...

1W 3L with the red deck at The Retromancers June Premodern monthly. The sideboard decisions are hard. I might be removing too much burn, but I feel like I need to respect those Worships and CoP Reds.

Thunder Spirit #2 has arrived.

Premodern playset complete.

moxfield.com/decks/jkLGrC... Decided to really deep dive on Goblins for a bit. This was partly inspired by @oldmagemtg.bsky.social And partly inspired from LC testing. Ran a monored list on Thursday with maindeck blood moon going undefeated at my local.

It's time for episode 122 of The Old Mage MTG Podcast. Join us as we discuss Saprolings in the Premodern cardpool and the Lobstercon burn deck that convinced me to follow my heart and ditch the Bloodstained Mires. Video: youtu.be/5P9Tk6m-UXQ

For me, this Premodern burn mana base was the most exciting thing to come out of Lobstercon 🔥

Premodern playset complete. This one is a beaut.

Super-secret Premodern Burn sideboard tech. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

While you're all waiting for the VODs from Loberstercon to drop, consider watching these matches from rounds 5 and 6 of The Premodern Buckeye Brawl. Courtesy of @heavyplay.bsky.social youtu.be/YWBgnCdvBc4?... youtu.be/7ogaoOT6C9A?...

This has been my favorite of the punisher spells to cast so far. Browbeat may go, but this fella stays.

I know it's not optimal. Sometimes I just want to play Browbeat.

Weird for a closed format that was solved 5 years ago.

I'll be studying that @golgariguy.bsky.social goblins primer 👀

Home from work. Just put on my lobster bib. @duresscrew.bsky.social

I received 2 Onslaught Bloodstained Mires that I believe are counterfeits. Agree? The 2 on the left are suspect. The 1 on the right is a genuine copy. Color and print quality seem off on the 2 suspects. The Ts on the 2 suspects looks nothing like they do on the genuine copy.

Some Old School arrivals courtesy of Finch and Sparrow Games.

While many Premodern playables are at all-time highs, this spell is far from it. I figured it was a good time to pick up my playset.

Round 4 of The Buckeye Brawl is up on the @heavyplay.bsky.social YouTube channel. I haven't watched a Stasis match since ~1995. It was fun to see how to build and pilot the deck in Premodern. youtu.be/ntI2EFzippc?...

Just picked up my first Mire. I need fuel for the Lavaman.

For kitchen table stomping.

Hey look ma, I made it to the feature table of The Buckeye Brawl.

Heading to the Retromancers monthly with some Siege-Gang fodder.

Premodern playset complete. A lovely 1-drop for Sligh.

I made an impulsive old-school mtg buy with a belly full of Easter ham.

Happy Easter, and stay safe out there everyone.

Ordered a couple LP copies of Glory. One arrived with very obvious inking all along the border to hide wear. The seller had the word "Ink" in their name, so perhaps I should've known better.

Giving one of these a try in the Big Apple Highlander build.

This goblin made eye contact with me as soon as I walked into a local LGS this weekend. He knew I'm putting the finishing touches on my RG Goblins deck.
