The actor who played Captain Kirk commented on the possible future Kirk Commander legend with some classic old-head toilet humor in response. And since folks born in the 40s have been in charge of everything since the 90s, it got me thinking: what silent generation celebrity do you think has heard of MTG?

LobsterCon just gave us one of the clearest pictures of the Premodern meta we've seen in a long time—and it challenges a lot of what we thought we knew.In this episode, we break down the results, including why StifleNought underperformed, what actually rose to the top, and what it says about the health of the format. We dig into:• Why everyone came prepared for Dreadnought—and why that mattered• The rise of graveyard combo decks (Replenish, FEB, Hermit)• How disruption (Wasteland, Port, graveyard hate) shaped the event• What successful decks had in common• Why Premodern in paper feels VERY different from MTGO• How to adapt your deck going forwardThe takeaway?Premodern might be more open—and more skill-testing—than people give it credit for.If you're prepping for your next event (or just grinding MTGO), this is essential viewing.

Season 26, Episode 3: Brew Session (Gran-Gran + Springleaf Drum) + TMNT Set Review, Part 2 Cavedan brought a new twist on Season of Loss to Spotlight Richmond and walked out with a pair of Super Shredders and a pocketful of cash. He then immediately jumped back in the MTGO queues to keep cracking the standard format wide open ... by tapping Gran-Gran with Springleaf Drum. Five trophies later, the ideas are still flowing. David, meanwhile, has been putting the new TMNT and Lorwyn Eclipsed cards through their paces in Pioneer, with some innovative ideas for Leonardo, the Cutting Edge and Meek Attack. Like our content?
