[Premodern Brawl]: Rules, Bans, Errata, and Commanders

Many of you know that I love Singleton formats.  I’ve written extensively on the subject of Old School 93/94 Brawl, and I’m still pretty sure nobody else but me has played since Hartfordfestivalen.  However, you may not know that I also wrote a series of primers… Continue Reading “[Premodern Brawl]: Rules, Bans, Errata, and Commanders”

Knowledge Vault: Banshee

On a regular basis, usually the first or second Friday of the month, our Knowledge Vault segment attempts to (somewhat satirically) Crack into the Vault of the best Old School 93/94 cards that you (probably) aren’t playing.   This month, we unveil Banshee to prove to… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Banshee”

Tournament Report: NEOS April Monthly Group 6 (3-2 with Erhnam & Burn ‘Em)

You might remember that last month’s $40 Erhnamgeddon list didn’t do so great.  However, April went much better.  After cutting the White for Red, my Erhnam & Burn ‘Em list went on to take Highest Unpowered at Hartfordfestivalen.  Hot off of that finish, I… Continue Reading “Tournament Report: NEOS April Monthly Group 6 (3-2 with Erhnam & Burn ‘Em)”

Knowledge Vault: Metamorphosis

On the First Friday of every month, we (somewhat satirically) crack into some lesser-known Old School 93/94 cards with the intent to open a dialogue and encourage brewing.  I’m sorry that this month’s was a little late, but I was busy preparing for Hartfordfestivalen.… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Metamorphosis”

Tournament Report: NEOS March Monthly Group 2 (1-4 with Erhnamgeddon)

In my first Old School 93/94 on a Budget article, I boasted that you can play Old School, competitively, for just $40.  During the NEOS Monthly Tournament series, I put that bold statement to the test.  Now that the tournament is officially over, I can post… Continue Reading “Tournament Report: NEOS March Monthly Group 2 (1-4 with Erhnamgeddon)”

Old School 93/94 on a Budget ($40): U/R Burn

The community’s response to last month’s budget article was amazing.  Among the support were several requests for a budget Red deck (the only color left out of the article).  As I brewed, a $40 budget version of Mono Red, that I felt confident in, proved… Continue Reading “Old School 93/94 on a Budget ($40): U/R Burn”

Knowledge Vault: Transmutation

On the First Friday of every month, we (somewhat satirically) crack into some lesser-known Old School 93/94 cards with the intent to open a dialogue and encourage brewing. In 2004, as my focus shifted from Magic to girls and cards, most of my time… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Transmutation”

Old School 93/94 on a Budget: G/w Erhnamgeddon and U/B Tempo ($40 USD) Deck Techs

In last month’s article, I skimmed the surface of what most people assume is the primary barrier to entry: monetary co$t.  In an effort to disprove that assumption, I settled on building two Old School 93/94 “precons” with a budget of $40 USD each. … Continue Reading “Old School 93/94 on a Budget: G/w Erhnamgeddon and U/B Tempo ($40 USD) Deck Techs”
