Premodcast

Hello 2024! The gang kicks off the year by bringing back guest Michael James Heup, as he along with all 3 members of the cast attended an in-person Premodern tournament on January 13th. And one of the 4 took their tournament down! Who could it be? Listen and find out!

And we're back! The gang talks about the 5 major tournaments that went on in the last month, and the resulting exciting rise of White Weenie. Happy Holidays all and we look forward to 2024!

The guys are back to talk about the recent changes made to the Online Webcam Monthly tournaments. As well as go over the two major European tournaments that took place in the last month. Euro Champs in Germany and Spanish Nationals, congrats to the winners and all participants!

Fresh of his big win at the Sacred Torch Showdown in NYC, Mike takes the guys through his day. Big thanks to  Phil Nguyen, Jeff Farris, Jordan Navarette, and Lanny Huang for putting on an incredibly fun and successful in person tournament in the heart of Manhattan at Bifrost Games. Then a set too big for top 5, the guys do their top 8 Urza's Saga cards.

With the Land Tax ban settling in we decided to take a look at the rest of the banned list. And who better to consult than the host of the Banned Series Mike Arnold. In his second appearance Mike braves the hurricane hitting SoCal to share his expertise on this particular topic. Buckle up it's a good one!

Emergency episode! Tune in for the Premodcast crew's takes on the big shake-up.

Fresh off his top 8 at the Midwest Premodern Championship Robin Lundh stops by to make a 3-peat appearance on the Premodcast, and give Mike the chance to discuss Hermit FEB on his own podcast! Bear with us as we attempt to explain this confusing monster of a deck. Congrats to all the winners and attendees of the Midwest Championship and thanks to Brian Kowal and Mike Heup for putting it on.

With the changing season lots of awesome premodern events coming up. The boys talk a little more Lobstercon and give their Exodus top 5. Good luck to all those attending the upcoming events!

Lobstercon 2023 was a resounding success! And here to discuss it we have the winner himself, Brian Selden. A mere 25 years after being the Magic World Champion with Rec Sur, gifting our community a plethora of discount gold-bordered staples, he received another copy of Survival of the Fittest. This time stamped with North American Premodern Champion. Big thank you to everyone who had a hand, no ma...

As June is upon us the preparations are in high gear for Lobstercon. The crew talk to Premodern master, mainstay, and all-around good guy Tom Metelsky about what to expect and what to be surprised by. And for those who can't make it to LC there is abundant meta discussion you won't want to miss.

And we are back with an interview episode of Premodern staple Patrick Burt! If you played or played against a green-white land-based value deck you probably have Patrick to thank (or curse). He goes over the ins and outs and all the what have yous, enjoy!

Just in time for the Spring Fling we go over the 2022 meta analysis provided by Fede Rico (thank you!). As well as the freshly crunched numbers (thank you Jared) on the 2023 meta so far. Also below is the link for Tom Metelsky's daughter's go fund me, please check it out! https://www.gofundme.com/f/x93j8-milas-spinal-surgery? 2023 meta spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/...

With the genius altering of the Rock by Lanny Huang the gents analyze it and other classic archetypes that can and have been re-vamped. A bottomless pit of possibilities and a topic that will likely be revisted. Then with the 25th anniversary of Stronghold a top 5 is in order.

The premodcast is back with a guest episode. We interviewed Will Hirst after his incredible run of multiple first place and top finishes in the past 4 months.

Welcome to 2023! The gang goes over the meta from 2022 highlighting the top 4 in each monthly. Pop the champagne and enjoy!

And we are back to go over the latest in Premodern. Lots of major tournaments over the past month both IRL and online. As well as a return of the deck tech segment: Counters, Burns, and Broken Things. Mike gushes about the Mono Blue Dreadnought deck that has been taking the community and top 8s by storm.

Howdy all! We are back with a catch up on a number of events and happenings in the premodern world. Jared's journey to LA for the West Coast Premodern Championship. Then onto a top 5 of one of the best sets in Premodern....Tempest.

The Finale!
