Premodern

Frozen pool · 4th Edition through Scourge2003-07 card pool

A frozen pool running from 4th Edition through Scourge, covering the era between Old School and Modern. Premodern is community-run and deliberately static, which lets a decklist stay relevant indefinitely. It preserves a slower, more attrition-driven style of Magic that the newer formats have largely left behind.
