  • A stellar debut from an iconic crew!

    What a great addition to the already stellar lineup of premodern focused podcast. The Duress Crew not only leads by example by fostering an amazing community which has inspired several regional premodern groups (mine included) but they are talented magic players as well. I can’t wait to hear what’s in store in terms of their discussions on community, strategy, and just general discussion about what makes pre-modern the best format in Magic!
