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.

We also discuss what to do with all those squirrel tokens if you're bored of simply trampling your opponents with your squirrel mob. Perhaps an Opposition Squirrel deck is more your style.

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.

Welcome everybody. Today we discuss the impact that Alliances had when it first hit the scene in 1996 and we review some of the rares that are most interesting to us. Including a couple that can now be combo'd (sp?) in the most ridiculous ways with some cards that appeared a little later in Magic's history. Back in our prime playing days, that Phyrexian Devourer just sat around collecting dust. Most importantly, Alex selects his 2024 old-frame commander and the crowd goes wild. I also continue my streak of reading card texts incorrectly on the show, stating what I wish they did instead of what they actually do.

Today we discuss everyone's favorite set to hate. It's Homelands time! Thanks to the Grand Creature Type Update, a few of these cards have improved considerably over time, but the set as a whole is still about as terrible as we remember. Bad enough to nearly make a young fella quit MTG. Or at least, stop buying booster packs.

We remember some old classics we played back then and review some cards we overlooked at the time but would love to brew with now. Why did I consistently play Reverse Damage but ignore Necropotence back in the day you might ask? Because I was 13 and my brain wasn't fully formed yet. That's why. And now that it is fully formed, it's still not that impressive. We can't all be Jon Finkel.

Ice Age was a definite step up in quality from Fallen Empires and a set I've grown to appreciate more over the years. Just ignore all of the underpowered spells with cumulative upkeeps, oppressive casting costs and paragraphs of nonsensical text. If you ignore all of those, it's actually pretty sick. We also bring back The Old Mage Commander corner and announce my 2024 Commander. This deck may turn out to be terrible, but it's going to be fun to build. Hope you enjoy!

| Mono-Green Oath Ponza aka TerraOath aka The Deck I Wish I Built | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 69 | 21 Dec 2023 | 01:11:16 | |
Today we review the recent evolution of a Premodern deck that I wish I built. That deck is Oath Ponza, or TerraOath and it is way better than the puny little mono-green deck that I designed, which ramps out Mirri Cat Warrior and Ravenous Baloths. Whoop-dee-frickin'-doo. We also discuss the recent sale of the original Force of Will art. Finally, we bring back the Old Men Magic Commander Corner because I bought myself an Oubliette and I now need to figure out what the hell to do with it.

| Premodern Clerics Pt. 2 | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 68 | 20 Dec 2023 | 02:31:16 | |
In today's episode, we bring to an end (for now) our discussion of clerics with a review of our favorite Premodern clerics in black. Plus some gold clerics, some green clerics, some blue clerics, some old-school clerics and some deck discussion. We talked for 2.5 hours and just scratched the surface, but we had to end it there because Alex needed to let his dog out and I had to make queso dip for the Taco Tuesday potluck at work. It turned out awful so I had to swing by Kroger the next morning for a few jars of Tostitos Salsa con Queso. It's made with real milk and cheese!!! You should try eating it cold if you haven't. It's delish. ☕ Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmenmagic Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: https://mtgstocks.com https://tcgplayer.com https://scryfall.com https://gatherer.wizards.com/ #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering #premodernmtg #clerics | |||

In today's episode, we begin our review of Premodern Clerics with the white clerics. We also talked about when Justin Bieber said that he hoped Anne Frank would've been a Belieber had she survived the Nazi invasion and we review a card that looks suspiciously like Iron Chef Michael Symon.

| More Old-Frame Slivers Decks For Your Consideration | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 66 | 02 Dec 2023 | 01:37:21 | |
We are back from our brief hiatus and ready to discuss more old-frame cardboard. In my quest to build a fun and at least slightly competitive Premodern Slivers deck, I've been doing some playtesting and some netdecking. In this episode, we discuss a few of the most interesting old-frame Slivers decks I've come across during my search. Several are classics that placed in the top 8 of extended tournaments back in the day, while one is a more recent concoction of the Gro-A-Tog type.

In part 2 of our 2-part episode on Premodern zombies, we present to you... even more zombies. These are my B-team zombies that aren't shoe-ins for a competitive zombie deck but definitely add some spice to the kitchen table. Yes we tried to keep this episode under 2h long.

It's part 1 of a 2-parter because there are too many Premodern zombies to fit into a single episode unless we made it 5h long and I can't pod for that long without a nap. ☕ Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmenmagic Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: https://mtgstocks.com https://tcgplayer.com https://scryfall.com https://gatherer.wizards.com/ #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering #premodernmtg #zombies | |||

We are back to discuss not just a cycle, but a M-M-M-MEGA-CYCLE of cards that span Tempest and Exodus. Each creature in the retriever cycle allows you to return a card from your graveyard to your hand when it enters the battlefield. They are cheap and useful, but are there better ways to do what they do? We also discuss Atogatog, which I am considering as a Commander for my next EDH deck. I might have to dip into the Modern card pool for this build.

| Miracle Grow Evolves | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 55 | 30 Aug 2023 | 01:08:54 | |
In this episode, we discuss the evolution of Miracle Grow during it's earliest days as at it transitioned from a U/G Quirion Dryad deck packed full of merfolk to a tri-colored deck that took full advantage of the threshold mechanic. We also learn about the Land Game, which from what I've gathered, isn't just one game, but is instead a game with rule sets that have varied significantly over time and between play groups. Much of what I've learned about Miracle Grow so far was gleaned from these articles: https://articles.starcitygames.com/articles/gro-history-and-current-legacy/ https://themanabase.com/rant-of-valakut-building-delver-grow-part-1/ Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering

Today Alex and I learn about how people with far greater MTG minds turned Land Tax into the greatest card draw engine around, which led to its banning, unbanning, then subsequent rebanning in the Premodern format.

This week Alex and I join the hunt for The One Ring by blowing our retirement funds on LOTR Collector Booster packs. As listeners of this show already know, I have not opened a booster pack since I purchased two Mercadian Masques boosters from a Barnes and Noble in Boardman, OH in 1999. Those were simpler times. Before multiple art variants. Before surge foils that will burn a man's retina if he views the card at the wrong angle. A time when you could purchase a Mox for a price that will now get you a serialized 69/500 Cannibal Dragonlord. Like my grandpappy used to say... Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web:
