Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss what I've learned after not-so-successfully piloting RG Goblins through a local Premodern Monthly. The goblins did their job. I did not. I mustn't be afraid to send these fellas into the meat grinder. I have 34 of them, after all. Also, we briefly review the decks at the top of the UK Premodern Nationals where goblins, shrimps and enchantresses battled against the mighty Terravore. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss the fungal and fungal-adjacent cards printed in the Premodern cardpool. We cover the 1-drops, 2-drops, 3-drops and more-drops. There aren't many mushrooms in the Premodern cardpool, but the format is filthy with saproling generators. Some of which are actually playable. Some of which actually made top 8 appearances on the Pro Tour back in their day. Also, Lobstercon happened. We did not make it out, but you best believe we reviewed the leaderboard and boy am I excited about this Premodern Burn mana base. Hope you enjoy!
Special shoutout to recent channel member jorism244. OldMageAlex has a poem for you.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we cover the first fungi printed in MTG. We discuss my decades-long desire to ping Fungusaur until it outgrows a Force of Nature, the glacial nature of old-school Saprolings, and how one might brew a functional old-school deck on a budget with Fallen Empires fungi. We also cover my flashback folly at The Buckeye Brawl. I didn't cheat. I'm just bad at magic.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we break down our recent attempts to pilot Premodern goblins and optimize some brews. I've learned that I should tutor for Goblin Sharpshooter more often, that I need to learn to love mulliganing to Lackey, and that Glory in the graveyard is good. Hope you enjoy! Special shoutout to recent channel members Stonerainguy and danehellwig! OldMageAlex has some poems for you.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we learn all about an explosive White Weenie deck that, thanks to some clever rules lawyering, exploded onto the scene to take down US Nationals back in 1999. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss the RecSur decks that crushed most of the completion (Sligh was still slighing) at Worlds in 1998. In it's modern day form, it's also a deck that consistently crushes me at local Premodern meetups. Hope you enjoy!
