| 17 Aug 2023 | What’s The Next Big Thing in Premodern? | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 53 | 01:39:09 | |
What does an aspiring tournament Spike brew now that Land Tax is gone from Premodern? We discuss a recent Sam Black article examining just that issue. We also continue our streak of covering breaking news a week or more after it broke in our brief review of WOTC's 2024 release schedule. Bloomburrow looks quite promising to me. Let us know what you're exciting about brewing or possibly buying next year.

| 12 Feb 2023 | How to Generate Card Advantage in Green | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 25 | 01:30:01 | |
A lot has happened in green since the Old Men were casting their Forces of Nature (Force of Natures?). It's even got some card advantage now. In this episode, we discuss some Premodern-legal spells that have a built-in Regrowth function, generate multiple threats from a single spell and even some straight-up friggin' card draw. I want to play green but I also don't want to be stuck in topdeck mode from turn four on. You can find the article we read on green card advantage here: https://articles.starcitygames.com/articles/the-blossoming-of-green-card-advantage/ Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web:

We find out today in episode 87 of The Old Mage MTG Podcast. Join us as we review what I think is a classic Premodern Deadguy Ale deck.

| 29 Jul 2023 | A Commander Masters Preview and A Turbo Xerox Review | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 49 | 01:21:21 | |
Today we discuss some of the cards that interest us the most from the upcoming Commander Masters set. No allied Fetchlands yet but we finally got those Medallions! We also review Alan Comer's 1997 Turbo Xerox deck which was wellspring of the decks that I always referred to as "those decks with lots of low casting cost blue cantrips or library manipulation spells." I also beg the viewers to help me fill in the last few creature slots of my old-frame green creature horde Commander deck. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to another wonderful episode of The Old Men Magic Podcast. On this episode, we discuss the muses cycle from Legions. A cycle where every card is actually playable. We also discuss of few recent ups and downs in the MTG market and Kaervek's Purge. I dream of one day incinerating a Phyrexian Dreadnought with a three casting cost purge. We hope you enjoy.

🎴 Purchase fine cardboard and cardboard accessories at TCGPlayer with our affiliate link: https://tcgplayer.pxf.io/zNvkNW ☕ Buy us a coffee if you enjoyed: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmenmagic We head back to 1995 to finish our discussion of Ice Age with the rares. We remember some old classics we played back then and review some cards we overlooked at the time but would love to brew with now. Why did I consistently play Reverse Damage but ignore Necropotence back in the day you might ask? Because I was 13 and my brain wasn't fully formed yet. That's why. And now that it is fully formed, it's still not that impressive. We can't all be Jon Finkel.

| 29 Jul 2023 | Premodern Cantrips Part 1. Ice Age to Urza’s | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 50 | 01:37:46 | |
Today we begin our review of Premodern-legal cantrips. Yes I panicked when I realized that I forgot Brainstorm when we reviewed the Ice Age cantrips. Yes I was later reminded by someone on social media that Brainstorm is not Premodern-legal, which is why I originally left it out of the show notes. So basically I nailed it. Hope you enjoy.

| 28 Sep 2023 | Perusing Premodern Slivers | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 59 | 01:53:43 | |
On this episode, we painstakingly review all of the slivers printed from Tempest to Scourge and decide which of these creatures will make their way into my first sliver deck. The mana base sure is a b*tch, but I think I'll face the pain and play 5 color slivers because I gotta have that queen. ☕ Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmenmagic Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering #sliver | |||
| 18 Mar 2023 | The Enter the Battlefield Creatures of Visions. Part 2 | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 29 | 01:25:51 | |
After some follow-ups to last episode and a brief discussion of some market moves (anyone out there playing Leeches?), we conclude our review of the enter the battlefield creatures from Visions. Some are about as useful as I remembered, some may be better, and one in particular is still very confusing to me. We end this weeks episode in the Old Men Magic Commander corner, where we discuss this weeks additions and I officially name my deck. Nobody cares about that other than me but I still devoted a segment to it.

| 21 Dec 2023 | Mono-Green Oath Ponza aka TerraOath aka The Deck I Wish I Built | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 69 | 01:11:16 | |
Today we review the recent evolution of a Premodern deck that I wish I built. That deck is Oath Ponza, or TerraOath and it is way better than the puny little mono-green deck that I designed, which ramps out Mirri Cat Warrior and Ravenous Baloths. Whoop-dee-frickin'-doo. We also discuss the recent sale of the original Force of Will art. Finally, we bring back the Old Men Magic Commander Corner because I bought myself an Oubliette and I now need to figure out what the hell to do with it.

After Fluctuator reached the top 8 of the Premodern North American Championships at Lobstercon 2023, I was inspired to learn how to build and play the deck. Luckily, others already did all of the hard work for me. Join us as we review a couple recent Premodern Fluctuator builds and try to understand their design.

| 29 Oct 2022 | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 13: This is Financial Advice. Invest in Low Cost Squirrel Synergy Now. | 01:54:07 | |
On this episode of the Old Men Magic Podcast, the Old Men agree that it is asinine to use your Frenetic Efreet to activate 1000 coin flips and win via Chance Encounter. However, if you must, then now is a great time to purchase an original printing of Chance Encounter at a good price. Alex recommends that our listeners invest in squirrels. You can't go wrong with squirrels. We also talk about the insane number of products Wizards is printing these days. This old man felt overwhelmed back in '97 when Visions, Weatherlight and Tempest were all printed in the same calendar year.

| 15 Jan 2023 | MTG Market Moves in Antiquities | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 22 | 01:47:03 | |
WE OUT HERE SHOWING SPREADSHEETS MAN. Welcome back to the pod everybody. After a short discussion of my current struggles with constructing my first Commander deck, we revisit Contagion, browse some black removal alternatives, then discuss Mining For Old School Spikes: Part 1 – Antiquities, a MTG finance article from 2018 that we recently read and enjoyed. After laying out a process for identifying old school cards that are poised for price appreciation, the author makes a case for targeting certain cards for investment. We take a look at their current prices. She definitely nailed some that we would've totally overlooked.
Shoutout to The Alpha Hoarder. That Ashnod's Transmogrant art is sick.

Today we discuss everyone's favorite set to hate. It's Homelands time! Thanks to the Grand Creature Type Update, a few of these cards have improved considerably over time, but the set as a whole is still about as terrible as we remember. Bad enough to nearly make a young fella quit MTG. Or at least, stop buying booster packs.

Merry belated Christmas everybody. The old men are back with more casual cardboard conversation. In this episode, we pray to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that dual lands are banned in commander (then maybe they'll be more affordable). We also review market moves in some old-frame cards that are of interest to us, and discuss even more premodern goblins. Some of these gobos are so spicy, they will melt your damn face off. Goblin Mutant will not melt any faces. Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com

| 30 Aug 2023 | Miracle Grow Evolves | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 55 | 01:08:54 | |
In this episode, we discuss the evolution of Miracle Grow during it's earliest days as at it transitioned from a U/G Quirion Dryad deck packed full of merfolk to a tri-colored deck that took full advantage of the threshold mechanic. We also learn about the Land Game, which from what I've gathered, isn't just one game, but is instead a game with rule sets that have varied significantly over time and between play groups. Much of what I've learned about Miracle Grow so far was gleaned from these articles: https://articles.starcitygames.com/articles/gro-history-and-current-legacy/ https://themanabase.com/rant-of-valakut-building-delver-grow-part-1/ Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering

Join us as we learn about a combo deck that terrorized the Extended format from 2000-2001. A combo deck that utilizes what was once an unplayed, bulk rare from Ice Age. A combo deck that kills its opponent in a most unusual way. And most importantly, a combo deck that is named after a breakfast cereal.

Today we review some of my favorites creatures from Visions: the enter the battlefield creatures. They are cheap and they are heaps useful. We also discuss some recent news in the world of plastic-slabbed, graded, collectible cardboard. I say, free the cardboard! Crack that slab baby. Just don't nick an edge or you'll knock half the price off of that Alpha rare. Finally, we reveal some recent additions to our first Commander decks, which are coming along nicely if i do say so myself. I do say that. Others are saying that as well.

We also discuss an old Secret Lair Superdrop that we recently learned about, featuring artwork from the legendary Bob Ross and the legendary Seb Mckinnon. Then we discuss a premodern goblin deck I recently built and whether or not it could benefit from the addition of a Goblin War Strike. AND MUCH MORE.

We start off this episode of The Old Men Magic Podcast slack-jawed and dumbfounded as we realize that an enter the battlefield creature we featured in episode 29 is not even an enter the battlefield creature. Nevertheless, we soldiered on to bring you a banger of an episode where fellow YouTuber Tong Zou explains to us how to turn 1 kill your opponent with Phyrexian Marauder (plus a few modern cards), we learn about the origins of The Rock, as constructed by Jelger Wiegersma, and I start to build the mana base for my first ever cEDH (casual EDH.

Welcome everybody. Today we discuss the impact that Alliances had when it first hit the scene in 1996 and we review some of the rares that are most interesting to us. Including a couple that can now be combo'd (sp?) in the most ridiculous ways with some cards that appeared a little later in Magic's history. Back in our prime playing days, that Phyrexian Devourer just sat around collecting dust. Most importantly, Alex selects his 2024 old-frame commander and the crowd goes wild. I also continue my streak of reading card texts incorrectly on the show, stating what I wish they did instead of what they actually do.

| 29 Jan 2023 | The Best December Superdrop Secret Lairs and Demonic Consultation | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep 23 | 02:10:58 | |
The intro audio is shit but it gets better. I promise! Today we discuss some of the Hidden cards from Urza's block, as well as some other minor market moves that caught our eye. Then we review our two favorite Secret Lairs from the December 2022 Superdrop, followed by an introduction to some of the things kids these days are doing with Demonic Consultation. Thassa's Oracle ain't my jam but I also like playing with Jacque le Vert as my commander, so what the hell do I know?

| 29 Jul 2023 | Our Search for The One Ring. Did We Find It? No. *Not Clickbait* | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 46 | 01:41:46 | |
This week Alex and I join the hunt for The One Ring by blowing our retirement funds on LOTR Collector Booster packs. As listeners of this show already know, I have not opened a booster pack since I purchased two Mercadian Masques boosters from a Barnes and Noble in Boardman, OH in 1999. Those were simpler times. Before multiple art variants. Before surge foils that will burn a man's retina if he views the card at the wrong angle. A time when you could purchase a Mox for a price that will now get you a serialized 69/500 Cannibal Dragonlord. Like my grandpappy used to say... Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web:

Ice Age was a definite step up in quality from Fallen Empires and a set I've grown to appreciate more over the years. Just ignore all of the underpowered spells with cumulative upkeeps, oppressive casting costs and paragraphs of nonsensical text. If you ignore all of those, it's actually pretty sick. We also bring back The Old Mage Commander corner and announce my 2024 Commander. This deck may turn out to be terrible, but it's going to be fun to build. Hope you enjoy!

In today's episode, we bring to an end (for now) our discussion of clerics with a review of our favorite Premodern clerics in black. Plus some gold clerics, some green clerics, some blue clerics, some old-school clerics and some deck discussion. We talked for 2.5 hours and just scratched the surface, but we had to end it there because Alex needed to let his dog out and I had to make queso dip for the Taco Tuesday potluck at work. It turned out awful so I had to swing by Kroger the next morning for a few jars of Tostitos Salsa con Queso. It's made with real milk and cheese!!! You should try eating it cold if you haven't. It's delish. ☕ Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmenmagic Intro music from Holizna Hit the man up at https://www.youtube.com/@Holizna/about Contact the old men here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/OldMenMagic Email: oldmenmagic@gmail.com Some of our favorite MTG resources on the web: https://mtgstocks.com https://tcgplayer.com https://scryfall.com https://gatherer.wizards.com/ #mtg #mtgpodcast #magicthegathering #premodernmtg #clerics | |||
| 12 Feb 2023 | MTG Potpourri: Mana Drain, MTG30 Promos, Mana Crypt and More | The Old Men Magic Podcast Ep. 26 | 01:58:10 | |
Today's episode is a grab bag of topics about cards old and new (mostly old) that are currently occupying the minds of the co-hosts. I miss my Mana Drains. And I still don't want a Mana Crypt but I admit it is far better than I realized it was way back in 1995.

We have gathered here today to discuss the gating creatures of Planeshift. A group of creatures that bounce their teammates back to your hand, but in exchange, they tend to be overpowered for their casting costs. We also take a look at a few Premodern legal reprints in the upcoming Modern Horizons 3 set. If you wanted to pick these up cheap, you may get your chance soon. Finally, we finish up in the Old Mage Commander corner, where we get one week closer to finalizing our 2024 old-frame Commander decks. Hope you enjoy!
