The Stupidest Green Deck | The Old Mage MTG Podcast Ep. 106

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss "that stupid green deck" that was trouncing opponents in the spring of '98 with a bevy of toolbox creatures and a trusty ol' 5/4 trampler with a downside that was ripe for exploitation. We also briefly review the Premodern legal reprints in Innistrad Remastered. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we discuss Forbidian, a Weatherlight/Tempest block deck that soft-locks opponents with a combination of card draw and countermagic with a buyback.
