Premodcast

The boys return to talk about the Odyssey...the MTG set of course, what else would we mean? We also catch up on Jared's OS lobstercon and the usual banter about nonsense and sometimes Premodern.

The season has completed and Mike and Jared are here to give their thoughts. (Spoiler they like it!). We go through character by character tracing their arcs, what we liked what we didn't, and close with a look to the future. Enjoy!

High-ranking member of the Duress Crew Bradley Stone stops by to give the premodcast and all of you an exclusive run-down of next year's DuressFest/North American Premodern Championship! Sign-ups are live now at:

Don't put it off! One of the critical things we discuss is that if they don't reach the goal it does not fire. The boys go over this and more, we're already excited and think all of you will be too!

The dragons are back! And so are Jared and Mike to talk about an incredible opening to the newest season of HotD.

Brian Kowal joins the gang to tell about his lobstercon experience along with Andrew and Jared's 49 minutes in the Dante.

It's that time of year again! Lobstercon is fast approaching and who better to analyze the meta with than last year's champion Rich Shay. Best of luck to all the participants and we wait with baited breath to see who will emerge victorious!

We say hello, we say goodbye! Jared and Mike give their thoughts on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1. Spoiler alert, we loved it!

Jared and Mike venture back to Westeros to discuss the first two episodes of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. HBO's latest Song of Ice and Fire series adapting the Dunk and Egg novellas.

And here's the promised bigger episode. The boys are joined by PM heavy-weights Fran Pawluszek and Tom Metelsky to discuss how we expect the premodern meta to shift as the tide goes out.

Hey friends! We were planning to record an episode later in the week with guests, but had to give a rapid fire response to the big news of the day. Enjoy and stay tuned!

Hello Premodern heads and farewell 2025. The boys get together to just chit chat about Premodern in the last quarter of the year. And then stick around for Jared's interview with Martin Berlin as he bestows The Premodern Magic Community Award 2023 on everyone's favorite Goblin King. We recorded the episode on December 4th so there won't be any discussion of the insane Lobstercon 2026 roll-out that occurred this past Sunday.

Howdy howdy! The gang is back for the school year to talk about their premodern and some Old School summers, as well as some OS Lobstercon hype and the buzz around PM Lobstercon just starting out. Stick around for a top 8 of Nemesis and Prophecy because those sets had to be combined for reasons.

Lobstercon may be long over but we're still recovering! The boys are back to chat about their experiences and what we think it means for the format moving forward. A look to what the future may hold!

He's baaaaack! Jared rejoins the cast to get everyone hype for Lobstercon this weekend!!! We couldn't be more excited and look forward to letting the good times roll!

Hello! We're back with the episode Andrew has been waiting for, an interview with Chris Tolar after winning the January monthly with Enchantress! If you like Replenish as a 1-of and Opalescence as a 2-of this episode is for you.

Hello 2025! Mike and Andrew are joined by Chris DiBiase, the face of Magic Online's Premodern scene. He explains the ins and outs of the world of MTGO and the great system they have going. For anyone who is considering joining MTGO to get more premodern in you can't miss this one!

Happy Holidays all! As the year winds down everyone is abuzz about the state of the format, so we had Tom Metelsky on to talk about our feelings on premodern right now. Stay tuned for his tier list!

In preparation for Thanksgiving the crew goes through many different topics of Premodern, as well as the state of Modern Magic, Pre-Fire Modern, plus off topic family and life events. All neatly wrapped up with our Mercadian Masques Top 5. Happy Holidays all!

Lobstercon 2024 is in the books! The gang invites Duress Crew leader and Saturday Side Event TO Nick Mayo to go over the weekend that was. We also look forward to Lobstercon 2025 already being planned, May 2nd and 3rd 2025 for Premodern!

And here we are, less than a week from the main event. Lobstercon hosted by the one and only Jared Doucette and Dave Firth Bard will fire alongside Euro Champs across the pond this week. We have Tom Metelsky on to go over his tier list so everyone can get a sense of what to expect, can't wait to see everyone!
