Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss some cards that took the white weenie archetype to a new level in the Standard environment of 1998. Even Mike Long, perched atop his chair, ProsBloom combo in hand, was powerless when faced with this pile.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss the cycle of Avatars from Prophecy, which is a notoriously bad set, but I believe some of these creatures can do solid work at the kitchen table. We also take a brief look at the decks that make the top tables at the 2024 North American Premodern Championship at Lobstercon. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss Forbidian, a Weatherlight/Tempest block deck that soft-locks opponents with a combination of card draw and countermagic with a buyback. It's the type of deck that makes you want to flip a damn table on a blue mage. We also talk about Serrated Illusionist, our first foray into the world of modern MTG with Bloomburrow precons, and more. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss a boring ass dumb-shit control deck called Turbo Abeyance (not my words, I love the deck) that really ruined the vibes for all control deck haters back in 1997. We also review some more of my recent bulk buys. This time focusing on some of the budget options for building an old-frame red land destruction deck. Those also ruin the vibes for some.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we reminisce about Weatherlight and discuss an article by Mike Flores on the cards from Weatherlight that changed the world. While Thundermares were running rampant at our kitchen tables back in '97, Mike tells us all about what was making an impact on the competitive scene. We also show off some recent additions to our cardboard collections. I've been bulking and Alex has been Bloomburrowing. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we learn about ProsBloom. A classic Mirage/Vision era deck designed and piloted by legendary MTG heel Mike Long during his conquest of PT Paris in 1997. We also discuss some recent price action in Squandered Resources. I am trying to purchase my playset for Premodern ProsBloom but the kids and their Gitrog Monster are making it harder at the moment. Finally, we browse through Bloomburrow. While The Old Mages haven't gotten into Modern yet, we do love frogs, toads, hawks, squirrels, otters, rabbits, foxes and other assorted critters. Especially if they cast spells and wield bladed weapons. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we review the Premodern legal reprints in Assassin's Creed. This could be an opportunity to pick up some great enchantments at lower prices. We also discuss my current struggle to consistently cast Atogatog on turn five and review some old-frame mana fetchers that may help me curve that fella out. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we learn about a combo deck that terrorized the Extended format from 2000-2001. A combo deck that utilizes what was once an unplayed, bulk rare from Ice Age. A combo deck that kills its opponent in a most unusual way. And most importantly, a combo deck that is named after a breakfast cereal.
