## Resource

LobsterCon just gave us one of the clearest pictures of the Premodern meta we’ve seen in a long time—and it challenges a lot of what we thought we knew. In this episode, we break down the results, including why StifleNought underperformed , what actually rose to the top, and what it says about the health of the format . We dig into: • Why everyone came prepared for Dreadnought—and why that mattered • The rise of graveyard combo decks (Replenish, FEB, Hermit) • How disruption (Wasteland, Port, graveyard hate) shaped the event • What successful decks had in common • Why Premodern in paper feels VERY different from MTGO • How to adapt your deck going forward The takeaway? Premodern might be more open—and more skill-testing—than people give it credit for. If you're prepping for your next event (or just grinding MTGO), this is essential viewing. 👉 Support the channel: Patreon.com/EternalDurdles 👉 Submit articles: eternaldurdles.com
