Former Leaving a Legacy host Jerry Mee joins the show to talk about the explosive growth of Premodern, the current state of Legacy, and why so many longtime Magic players are rediscovering their love for the game through older formats.

We dive into:
• Why Premodern feels different from modern Magic
• The problems with Legacy and constant power creep
• Universes Beyond and the “Fortnite-ification” of MTG
• Why players are rejecting rotating non-rotating formats
• LobsterCon, community growth, and the future of Premodern
• Gold border cards, proxies, and accessibility
• Brewing new decks in an “unsolved” format
• Whether Wizards will eventually monetize Premodern

We also get into some spicy deckbuilding discussion, including New England Threshnought, Mono Blue Dreadnought, tempo strategies in Premodern, and why Nimble Mongoose might secretly be cracked again.

If you miss old-school Magic—or want to understand why Premodern is suddenly everywhere—this is the episode for you.
