Welcome everybody. Join us as we reminisce about Weatherlight and discuss an article by Mike Flores on the cards from Weatherlight that changed the world. While Thundermares were running rampant at our kitchen tables back in '97, Mike tells us all about what was making an impact on the competitive scene. We also show off some recent additions to our cardboard collections. I've been bulking and Alex has been Bloomburrowing. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome everybody. Join us as we learn about ProsBloom. A classic Mirage/Vision era deck designed and piloted by legendary MTG heel Mike Long during his conquest of PT Paris in 1997. We also discuss some recent price action in Squandered Resources. I am trying to purchase my playset for Premodern ProsBloom but the kids and their Gitrog Monster are making it harder at the moment. Finally, we browse through Bloomburrow. While The Old Mages haven't gotten into Modern yet, we do love frogs, toads, hawks, squirrels, otters, rabbits, foxes and other assorted critters. Especially if they cast spells and wield bladed weapons. Hope you enjoy!

🗃️ Decks discussed on the podcast: https://www.moxfield.com/users/OldMenMagic
Welcome everybody. 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.

Welcome everybody. Join us as we journey back to 1997 to discuss a couple decks from PT Paris. Both top 8 decks actually played a minotaur and it is not either of the minotaurs that Bill Rose said you'd be dying to summon to the battlefield with your didgeridoo.
