We are currently fostering a 13yr old grey toy poodle mix, he’s getting along great with our own two toy poodles. Here he’s featured cuddling up against our old gal Winnie.

ESPN we really don’t need to keep seeing the pain over and over. There’s plenty of exciting action to replay.

Two recent #premodernMTG decks I’ve had some succes with. Basically took the Tireless Tribe deck, yanked out Quiet Speculation and put that in WGU threshold, replaced it with Armadillo Cloak, Sylvan Library and Flesh Reaver.

Premodern is such a fun format!!
To all those that would like to try and are on the fence: there are several decks that you can build on a budget to play with friends, especially if you don't care about the original old border printings. Below, some low to medium budget decks I've built in paper:

Sharing this quote from “Origins of Totalitarianism” today for no reason at all: Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

My deck for the last week of #mtgpremodern Spice Paradise. This deck was based on an old Inquest Invasion Block Domain deck that I always kept together as one of my first “real” decks. I updated it with some insight from Kai Budde’s GP London winning deck.

This week’s #mtgPremodern deck for Spice Paradise, inspired by an old Grand Prix winning deck. Yes, that’s Hunting Grounds with only 5 creatures main.

My next deck for the #mtgPremodern Spice Paradise event: GB Contamination. Not intended to always be a full lock forever, but long enough that you can get an overwhelming advantage or kill them with Verdant Force/Squirrels.

A brew for the #mtgPremodern Spice Paradise event. This deck felt quite strong; might want to squeeze in another Cabal Therapy or two (can shave a Reanimate, not sure what else).

The winner of the Misty Premodern Winter Open was John Bagley playing a very innovative Tireless Tribe/Quiet Speculation list.

Premodern is the best format. Gameplay is fantastic. There’s still innovation in a closed system. Meta is diverse and healthy.
I love that in Premodern you can buy cards and know you're building a collection that 1) will always be relevant as long as the format is played 2) will not be power crept by some Modern Horizons bullshit.
