Mostly talking about videogames and MTG (Premodern/Prefire/Cube) nowadays.

@SaffronOlive “Ward – Get five poison counters.”

This seems dangerous.

@MercadoLivre @MercadoLivre vocês não cumprem prazo de uma entrega pelo Full, não deixam cancelar, e qualquer opção de suporte no site só me joga para uma AI que fica em loop e não consegue resolver o problema.

O que eu faço aqui?

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

I wonder if I should watch this or PT Izzet?

Such a hard choice. /s

the largest premodern event to date is now streaming: https://t.co/16QQSPRpmF

Premodern and Prefire got my friends to play MTG again, and also revived a long-lost interest in EDH.

So I finished another big project today: "Downsized" from 25+ decks to just my favorites, and used the remaining cards to give these their first major overhaul in years.

@glorious_succ @mangaa I think it's Shouwa Otome Otogibanashi

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@MagicMusicMike @fireshoes Never seen any negative reaction from players around here from using newer prints.

They definitely favor old frames, but it's more of a "I think it looks better this way" thing.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

I disconnected from "modern" MTG since I dislike the direction the game has been going, so I've been focusing on alternate ways to play that suit me.

So here's the project I finished today: A set of Premodern decks to play when friends drop by.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@SaffronOlive None. But might get a few cards for cube.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@Alessandropet90 MUD variants.

Mine is pure colorless Stax, but there's also Tinker versions.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@SF_crono @TolarianCollege I used the term "modern" with the meaning of "recent" Magic, not specifically talking about that format.

But in general I dislike the crazy power and complexity creep going on, even more when combined with the huge amount of releases.

Also not a fan of UB sets.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@Oshachutes Yes!

They're usually Ux controlling lists that play a long game and go for big spells once Tron is assembled.

UW is the most common version:

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@chigyakussmaker I'm running a colorless version:

But there's also Tinker variants more similar to the classic Finkel list.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@stickerbite A friend of mine was a huge Mardu Pyro fan, so he'll probably rebuild and bring that deck for us to play.

Hollow One is very fun and was one of the decks I considered when building that box.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@TronDragon4 Those are UW Tron and MUD Stax, lists can be found here:

There's also MUD variants with Tinker.

Since this kinda blew up (I certainly wasn't expecting to get a retweet from @fireshoes), here's the decklists:

Also, play Premodern and PreFIRE! These formats are crazy fun.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@Dauz_ucv I asked my friends "which decks do you want in this box" and WW was by far the most requested one.

I think my friends have very good taste.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@PSSqKwsL6DDLobM Incredibly fun deck, I love playing it.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@cafelebee A design philosophy started around 2019.

I took lists from mtgtop8 and adapted to my tastes.

@Noizemancer It's such an iconic art.

Also why I put that card on top of the deck for that picture.

[Phelps-san @phelpssan]

@TxTSaint No, Premodern is more old-school.

Goes from Ice Age to Scourge, so it ends right before the Modern format starts.

If you're interested in something akin to "old-school" Modern you may want to try PreFIRE:
