What other card(s) besides Karmic Guide has had at least four unique artworks and no misses?

A BUG’s Life #mailday

Momentous multiple Meddling Mage #mailday means much more magic muzzled

Every year @elendrile.bsky.social organizes the Premodern Super Gauntlet, which pits 64 unique decks against each other in a single-elimination bracket. The community is invited to fill out their own predictions too — I finished 21st out of 69. Great event!

Went 4-1 with my take on Junk Terrageddon (AKA 4C Magpie Decoy) at the NYC Premodern meetup! Elves ✅✅ Burn ✅✅ Burn (Flores) ✅✅ Shallow Rector (Osyp) ❌✅✅ Survival-less Elves (@swbmtg.bsky.social) ❌✅❌ Congrats to SWB for winning the championship belt and foil Heart of Ramos Valentine's Day prize!

Although I’m not a fan of LotR, Marvel, or Final Fantasy, I refuse to yuck anyone’s yum because I know at some point there will be a Universes Beyond product for me (Real Housewives or Dua Lipa)

"nice video though"

Undefeated at the February Manhattan #Premodern monthly with this all-in elves deck. The miser's Coat of Arms made for some fun reactions. Deck is a blast and turn 3 Biorhythm is very real. 2-1 Goblins🧝👺🧝 2-0 BW Control🧝🧝 2-0 Dr Surf🧝🍤🧝 1-0* Dr Surf (*opp had to run)🧝 2-1 Junk Terrageddon 🧝🐘🧝

I brought my 17-year-old Canon PowerShot to NYC's Premodern meetup last night! Format is great, community is great.

Context: We finished up R2 quickly so my opponent and I busted out other decks to jam. I was on Thieving Magpie nonsense. I sit down for R3 and win G1 because my opponent kept a sketchy hand thinking all he had to do was beat a 4 drop. Scouting gone wrong! 😆

Is it time to start getting out word for next month’s events already? Crazy. Premodern fans who live in the Asia Pacific region should sign up for our next webcam league! Premodern fans who happen to live in Otago and are on Bluesky but I somehow don’t already know: I’ll see you in South D!

UW Wizards, my deck for February’s Premodern webcam league. I went a clean 0-6, which has only happened once before since I started playing the monthlies in June 2020. Thoughts on the deck in my next newsletter! 🧙‍♂️

Happy Froggy Friday #mailday

happy “new, never before seen magic cards” day

rough day for magic: the gathering

As someone who has never played EDH, my only commentary is that whenever I read Commander Brackets I think of Admiral Beckett Brass.

pov: your control opponent with a full hand after you tap out to cast your sweet six-drop

when you bolt the bird, this is what you’re destroying

Pretty happy with how my Premodern era Forgetful Fish deck is looking. I started with @magicstorytime.bsky.social’s 60 card Mirage era version, then expanded with cards from the “default” build. Accumulated Knowledge, cycling lands and the slow fetches (for their shuffle effect) play real nice.

Have you ever Oath of Druids’d into a Guiltfeeder? Easily my best pickup from SCG Portland.

My week 2 brew for Premodern Spice Paradise run by @mtgbanding.com ~ calling it 'Cannibal Cookout'

FIRST LOOK of the screenplay for Legendary Entertainment’s Magic: The Gathering film! Gives me a lot of optimism that the card game I love will be respectfully adapted. 🙏

🎶

Hopefully my r2 Spice Paradise opp isn't on here :P Dreams of the Dead reanimator! Thanks @raphael-a-caron.bsky.social for the inspiration!

pov: you’re looking to sew a button back on but you find my premodern deck instead
