Hear me out. False Prophet control.

My 2026 mtg goal is to build even more decks on Moxfield that I never play irl.

Day 1 of posting iconic MTG art from the Premodern-legal card pool. Card: Defense of the Heart Printing: Secret Lair Artist: Fajareka Setiawan

The Buckeye Brawl is booked. Filled all 64 slots on the first day. If you'll be in the Columbus area and are interested, sign up for the waitlist at www.spicerack.gg/events/2836001. They may open up some more spots.

What excellent Premodern cards haven't doubled in price in 2025? I'm looking for some end of year deals.

Pretty intense mtg art sale.

I have no particular plans for this fella. He's just neat.

A possible Premodern Beefcake include.

I buy a copy of the best Beta Forest every month until I don't. Forest #20 was waiting for me under the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas everyone!

Hoping to terrorize some Moneyball Black mages with these fellas. Don't you dare Gloom me bro!

Premodern playset complete.

An early and unexpected Christmas gift arrived for The Old Mages. The Old Mage MTG YouTube channel now has its first ever paid subscriber. Thank you!

The Ashes

I'm going to my first cricket match. Australia vs. England. How drunk should I be?

If you're in the area, make sure to come on down!

My top 8 alters of 2025!

Thank you for the Premodern haul Good Games Adelaide

Hello Good Games Adelaide

What're yinz doin' with Caltops?

Every shop, cafe and busker in Adelaide plays Sultans of Swing on repeat. youtu.be/h0ffIJ7ZO4U?...

In Premodern, you can just play things. Like this.

The brain worms have broken free from containment.

Glowrider

The cafes in Adelaide don't miss.

I think the time to open an MTGO account has come.

Heading down under for a couple weeks. I won't be seeing Uluru, but I may see a kangaroo or two.

Added these Beta beauties to the collection.

Beta playset complete.

I buy a copy of the best Beta Forest every month until I don't. I welcomed #19 to the collection in November.

Having a True Believer on the battlefield neuters these vermin.

Just need to swing for lethal, or close to it, before the evil black mages cast this one on me.

Some recent Premodern arrivals.

An alternative cost spell I will likely never play.

At a local meetup, I was gifted two more 2-mana anthems by a very generous fellow old mage. Now that I have three, Kjeldoran Outpost may be a nice addition to the Premodern White Weenie deck.

Bought my first copy of the best Beta island. I have to start playing blue now.

Grantfly on Moneyball black. I've been diggin' this mans Premodern brews. youtu.be/Utu96iAkVlQ?...

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question: Forbid. Jon would use it to make the Forbidian deck he played to become US national Champion. #WotCStaff

Premodern playset complete. From the @kaimbudde.bsky.social 1999 World Championship Deck. And the current best value in gold-borded Premodern magic.

I'm looking for red fliers in Premodern at a reasonable cost and this... isn't terrible?

I buy a copy of the best Beta Forest every month until I don't. Number 18 was added to the collection back in October, but I'm late to post. Shame!

Premodern players in Ohio and throughout the Midwest, SAVE THE DATE for the Buckeye Brawl! Saturday, February 21, 2026, at The Warp Gate in Columbus, Ohio, the Retromancers will be hosting a Premodern regional scaling $1k with some fun and exciting prizes! Stay tuned for more info coming soon!

Maybe something for Three Deuce. Seems decent.

Visited by Aurora borealis tonight. First time I've ever been able to see them with the naked eye!

Yes that’s the real art. The art is by the late Quinton Hoover. I’m sure @scryfall.com is updating it asap. comics.ha.com/itm/memorabi...

Top 8 from the recent Columbus Retromancers monthly. No duplicate decks.

I'm too afraid that this one will come back to bite me.

@spiregolem.bsky.social The horned one. Good to see you at the monthly today.

Can't lose this round because I have a buy.
