This might be heresy to most #mtgpremodern players, but I much prefer the DMR printing of Grim Lavamancer to the Torment printing

Since we're talking about this again, I'll say this: Intense sexism and generally hostile commentary aimed at me during my core Pauper years gave me such bad anxiety with playing Magic that it's difficult to play in a public-facing manner these days. This was when I had strong results as well.

I wish they found another way to distinguish these List reprints from the originals, because personally I can't stand the white Planeswalker symbol on the bottom left. I will actively avoid these versions. I know, I know... But I just can't stand it 🥲

It would be cool if Mark Rosewater released a public apology for this, just saying

Premodern Commander best Commander!!

I've been playing Edric as an Elf typal commander for a while now and I have no doubt that he's better than Lathril, mono G Ezuri and most other popular Elves commanders in that role. And yes, a big part of it is that he gives you access to countermagic...

Bulk bin finds!

teehee

I have no idea why everyone is mentioning this rapture and I'm too afraid to ask

WotC should print a Premodern Masters set with old border reprints of #mtgpremodern staples. Can't believe that I have to pay 7€ for a Tempting Wurm 😂

So has someone tried Bolas's Citadel in the command zone? Is she as busted as she looks?

Btw I thought about this guy because someone made top 8 of a 100 players #mtgpremodern tournament with this absolutely wild Goblins deck with 4 Goblin War Buggy, 3 Sparksmith and 3 Goblin Goon main deck! mtgtop8.com/event?e=7393...

One of the neatest things about expanding into (at least) three colors in Canadian Highlander (or as I like to call it, the rite of passage), you can get real fancy with your Basic Land options. 👀

Been working during weekends for the past month because of job applications + work stuff. Why can't I just flip cardboard 🥲

Another banger by Sam

Look at this little guy!!!

Which makes me think that Volrath's Shapeshifter is a very cool card that enables some crazy combos and it could probably see some more play in Commander

Wait a second... Is Magic undergoing... Enshittification?

Happy to sit this set out completely. Might proxy a couple cards from it.

If you want to play this card in your Commander deck, here's my advice: 🖨️🖨️🖨️

Every single comment was in favor of Goblins. Looks like that's what I'm gonna play maybe 😅

Did you know that in #mtgpremodern you're not allowed to change the order of the cards in your graveyard, because of many cards who care about graveyard order? If someone is playing one or more of these in their deck, this technically also applies to Commander.

At some point I'll just have to accept that playing on mtgo is a requirement to become a half decent Magic player (never played on mtgo in my life)

Trying to prepare for Eternal Weekend Lucca, and I have yet to decide which Premodern deck I want to put tons of reps in: - RG Sligh - RG or RB Goblins - UW Tidestill Choices, choices...

Personally I suck at building 60 cards decks from scratch so I always netdeck, and only after having played a good number of games I start thinking about modifications.

As the resident Golgari guy, I'm legally obligated to point out that Agent Venom is an excellent draw engine for sacrifice/aristocrats decks.

And here I was thinking that fighting fascism was a good thing

It's been a while without new art but here's another piece for my personal project.

Here's an Azusa artist proof painting I particularly liked! For any of you in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, I'm doing a one-day signing event at Fox Den Board Game Cafe this Saturday! Come get some things signed, maybe sign up for a commission slot (to be mailed after)!

I'm betting this will bottom at 20$

Here's a cool card everyone forgot about

Magic deck names are so boring nowadays. Bring back creative names such as Deadguy Ale, The Rock, The Solution, Caw Blade, Tin Fins, Dralnu du Louvre, Full English Breakfast, Eggs, Broccoli Soup, The Deck!

I mean D includes Sicily, Puglia (unclear), the middle east, India, Japan and a large part of China so... Yeah, sucks to lose Mexican but that's what I'm going with 100%

Did you know that in #mtgpremodern you can play these mega busted cards which are banned/ restricted in multiple formats? 😈

From the Deep An older piece for Month of Monsters 2, 2021. #darkart #horrorart #gore #monsters #monthofmonsters

Great video by @the-trinket-mage.bsky.social on the future of UB. A must watch if you wonder about the future of Magic, lots of good points being raised. youtu.be/dAlF0ej4aVQ?...

Thanks @asbillustration.bsky.social for these amazing tokens! My Deranged Hermits were waiting some S tier Squirrels! 🐿️ Also the 🇮🇹 and 🇪🇸 limited edition food tokens are sweet!!

Print it in Modern you absolute cowards

👀👀👀 Emrakul?? Jitte?? Chain lightning??

Golgari mmmh I mean Witherbloom lesbian moms!

You don't need expensive Reserved List cards to crush in #mtgpremodern!

BASED KING

Tested a bit Sligh with a splash of green to play Naturalize and Tranquil Domain in the SB and it felt really solid. Being able to easily answer CoP red and other enchantments is a game changer. I honestly think this is the superior version of Sligh. #mtgpremodern moxfield.com/decks/ZlIU_3...

Ok what's the most broken thing we can do with this? Some Reveillark/Scrap Trawler loop? Maybe just Ad Nauseam drawing almost our whole deck?

I'm often very happy to be completely unaware of some parts of the internet

I was wondering the other day why Vivi Cauldron didn't seem to be a deck in Pioneer, and here it is

Got a couple of nice old border foils for my Premodern Commander decks (Kamahl and Chainer), plus some cards to try out in Chainer, inspired by @budgetcommander.bsky.social

I'm always kinda baffled when I go to my LGS and I see some parent buying hundreds of € in Pokemon sealed product for their kids

I'm launching a new series and updating my Rebell Spike channel to having more 60 card focused content, still focused on improving at the game while having a good time. I'll work with any game accessory brand that will meaningfully offer sponsorship or support to bring this project to life.
