“Pre-Modern Horizons”… It sounds like a joke—but it reveals a deeper misunderstanding about what PreModern actually is.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why adding new cards to PreModern fundamentally doesn’t work

• How the format survives because it’s closed

• Why Wizards of the Coast has zero incentive to support it the “right” way

• The real (and dangerous) ways WotC could try to monetize PreModern

• Why proxies, community formats, and grassroots growth are the REAL future

We also get into:

• The proxy debate (and why it matters more than ever)

• Whether “PreModern Masters” could actually happen

• The booming growth of the format (30+ player locals 👀)

• LobsterCon prep, deck choices, and what we’d bring

PreModern isn’t broken. It’s one of the only formats that works.
