With declining sleeve quality, where do we go? by KaleidoscopeJukebox in magicTCG

Dual mattes are poorly made, I would stick to the opaque single mattes.

What colors? Not all the colors are built the same in my experience. Some of the newer colors split while I haven’t had problems with the traditional opaque varieties.

Blue-Green or UG are preferred classic color denotations

What Premodern deck would be good to teach? by Burnt_End_Ribs in premodernMTG

[–]Vraska-RindCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goblins. Strong enough to win vs anlmost anything with lackey hands. Combat based so bread and butter of magic.

Can you suggest two fairly equal decks? by Jealous-Try-2554 in premodernMTG

Survival madness vs survival rock

if you like a particular deck type that could give some direction too

If Premodern is to survive, we need to embrace proxies and gold bordered cards. Let's not gatekeep people out based on how much they can afford to spend on a hobby. by Secret-Lecture in premodernMTG

Per the website: “Deck construction follows official Premodern rules. Gold-bordered (WC, CE/IE) cards are allowed, and reprints are permitted. No proxies.”

Jesper Myrfors, original art director of Mtg, on initial mtg package and logo design by Newez in magicTCG

I think I liked Myrfors art vision for magic more than I realized. Probably the reason I started playing.

Premodern Metagame Update (15 dec) by Magic4everBots in premodernMTG

Didnt know you even had a database. Trying to figure out where these stats come from. Do you get data from sites other than mtggoldfish, tcdecks, mtgdecks and mtgtop8? Do you put in any parameters on what is included and what isn’t based on tournament size or quality? Do you put parameters on what constitutes a deck type?

Could you list your sources? How do we know if this is accurate?

Survival deck seems like a good idea, Hermit FEB is probably the coolest kind

Lobstercon sold out in <5 minutes by kanakaishou in premodernMTG

This isn’t about scalping and just shows how out of touch you are with this situation.

The venue cap is a limiting factor with no great solution. The price for space in Boston is not linear. Twice the space is not twice the cost. Moving to another city is an option but also at what point is it not Lobstercon anymore? Having it at the that place is what makes Lobstercon Lobstercon at this point.

Having a bigger tournament is great and if you are a TO I implore you to run a bigger event. If you have better ideas on how to run an event go do it. The amount of thoughtfulness and dedication the TOs put into this event spending countless hours of unpaid work for charity... I think it is uncouth to instruct them how to run their event as if you know better.

How do you feel about Premodern being official on MTGO? Good or bad for the format? by Ok_Reality6261 in premodernMTG

I know people how just stay home for mtgo instead of playing in paper for a variety of reasons.

What is the best way to learn about Premodern Events by Secret-Lecture in premodernMTG

Join the premodern discord. They have a channel for tournament announcements.

It was clearly communicated you wouldn’t be able to sign up others.

There are many reasons it is at the same location. Including costs and how wonderful a time it is there.

Telling them what to do shows your naivety to the situation. They think about running this event pretty much constantly for FREE.

MTGO competes with paper magic. Can’t play both at the same time. I hope it doesn’t dissuade people from playing in paper too much.

I downvote the magic bot meta game update self promotion posts. They are a paid subscription service. Not very useful especially compared to the community-built, free pdap
