The Old Mage MTG Podcast

The intro audio is shit but it gets better. I promise! Today we discuss some of the Hidden cards from Urza's block, as well as some other minor market moves that caught our eye. Then we review our two favorite Secret Lairs from the December 2022 Superdrop, followed by an introduction to some of the things kids these days are doing with Demonic Consultation. Thassa's Oracle ain't my jam but I also...

WE OUT HERE SHOWING SPREADSHEETS MAN. Welcome back to the pod everybody. After a short discussion of my current struggles with constructing my first Commander deck, we revisit Contagion, browse some black removal alternatives, then discuss Mining For Old School Spikes: Part 1 – Antiquities, a MTG finance article from 2018 that we recently read and enjoyed. After laying out a process for identifyin...

Happy New Year's everyone. We begin this episode by recounting our epic New Year's Day premodern green stompy vs. B/U magic battle. We then discuss our MTG project for 2023, which is to build our first ever Commander decks. Old-frame cards only, Alpha to Scourge, cEDH (cEDH stands for casual EDH on The Old Men Magic Podcast by the way). We hardly know a darn thing about Commander so we are startin...

Merry belated Christmas everybody. The old men are back with more casual cardboard conversation. In this episode, we pray to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that dual lands are banned in commander (then maybe they'll be more affordable). We also review market moves in some old-frame cards that are of interest to us, and discuss even more premodern goblins. Some of these gobos are so spicy, they w...

On this episode of The Old Men Magic Podcast, the goblin talk begins. I review my Premodern goblin starting lineup. These are the goblins that I believe are auto-includes in any solid Premodern goblin deck. We also discuss that weird thing our former President did (shame on him for making these NFTs and not good old-fashioned cardboard), and we discuss some market moves in the world of mtgfinance....

On this episode of The Old Men Magic Podcast, we were going to talk about goblins but we spent so much time discussing the potential financial implications of Dominaria Remastered reprints and ogling borderless variants that we ran out of time. That borderless Sylvan Library is sick as hell my dudes. Goblins can wait until next week. If you enjoy, please like, subscribe, follow us on social media...

On this episode of the Old Men Magic Podcast, we are back to talk about the thing that everyone is tired of talking about but everyone is still talking about anyways. That's right, MTG 30th Anniversary finally went on sale and it... is "currently unavailable for purchase." Whatever the hell that means. We also look over the retro-frame artifacts from The Brothers War and we learn about the gustclo...

On this episode of The Old Men Magic Podcast, we review some of our recent purchases, recount our quest to secure the 30th Anniversary Edition Secret Lair and discuss a handful of premodern legal cards that we recently uncovered from the MTG back catalogues.

On this episode of the Old Men Magic Podcast, the Old Men discuss MTG30 Las Vegas as seen on social media. People be shoppin'! We then review the MTG 30 Secret Lair which honestly looks cool as hell.

On this episode of the Old Men Magic Podcast, the Old Men agree that it is asinine to use your Frenetic Efreet to activate 1000 coin flips and win via Chance Encounter. However, if you must, then now is a great time to purchase an original printing of Chance Encounter at a good price. Alex recommends that our listeners invest in squirrels. You can't go wrong with squirrels. We also talk about the...

People are so horny for Earthbind, they're out here buying out Revised cards. REVISED! Also, we discuss what we think are some of the worst cards you might pull from your $1,000.00 30th Anniversary booster packs and why The Hive is not the absolute bottom of the barrel.

No one is wondering how we feel about MTG 30th Anniversary Edition, but we are here to tell you anyways. What is it? Who is it for? Do we think it will affect Reserved List prices? Also, we review some old-frame cards that are now available at good prices after they were reprinted in Modern Horizons 2.

We talk white angels, black angels, copper angels, iridescent angels and the worst angel of all. Also, Steve gets confused about how a card he just bought actually works (I'm looking at you, Parallax Tide) and Show and Tell is unbanned in Premodern. Yes I did impulse buy two copies as soon as it was announced. Will they arrive? Or will the seller cancel the order and immediately repost them for a...

We discuss the cycle of Lobotomy spells from Urza's Destiny, Steve gets worked up over the recent buyout of Captain Sisay, maintains that he is stronger and/or faster than your mom (with few exceptions), and we review the price action of some cardboard.

We discuss some Dominaria cards that caught our attention, WotC reprints Arboria, and Steve shows his co-host some basic Dreadnought combos.
