Hardcast

Well - thanks to y'all - Lobstercon fucking ripped. We're all fucking beat so we weren't gonna publish on-cycle this week. BUT THEN, Aiden Johnson revealed that he recorded a carcast on his way home from LC. Please enjoy this tournament report from him on the newest development in Tognology.Aiden's List:https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=84398&d=841346&f=PREM

Billy sits down for a MASSIVE shoot-the-shit with Phil Lorrain of the Zoo Crew, DxC's most unworthy rivals. They chat about PM, Phil winning his own event, AAA, and sprinkle in some New England punk lore.Check out Zoo Crew's website at:⁠https://www.zoocrew.team/⁠Check out Phil's winning list at:⁠https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=83050&f=PREM⁠

SILENCE, FOOL! A champion is speaking! Sara Schaefer managed to slay 120-sumfin lesser wizards at the Duress Crew Winter regional. Billy has an enlightening chat with her about how she got into Premodern, what's it like to be a Replenish homie in a tideless world, and her tournament experience.Sara's list:https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=80894&f=PREM

After yet another stunning performance, Duress Crew has decided to celebrate with none other than a carcast. Join T8 finisher Brad, T4 finisher Sac, T8 finisher Brendan, and . . . Jay on the way back from the Roc Royals' Winter Ball.

Not only is the PM playerbase getting wider, it's also getting taller. Recently, several PM scenes have developed a second-tier of tournament, or meta-tournaments linking several events together. Never afraid to experiment, Billy does a sequence of small interviews with Hodge (New England), TQ (Portland), and Phil N (NYC) about the recent changes in both the length and girth of the PM paper scene. As a reward, this episode's soundtrack is from Hymns to Tourach II, by Ben Gauthier - one of us!

So, uh, Lobstercon just sold out in 90 seconds. Brad and Jay speak for the gang on this one. While we're definitely not going to apologize for being the baddest game in town, we thought we'd speak to what we learned REAL QUICK about what we could (and couldn't) do to make it a smoother experience for y'all.Postscript for clarity: We are at currently 339/320 registered due to a bug in Spicerack. Slots up to 339 will get into the event. Waitlist spots will begin filling in once drops get us below 320.leave us a shitty voicemail:https://www.speakpipe.com/duresscrewour shitty linktree:https://linktr.ee/duresscrewread more about not-shitty LC here:https://sentineloldschoolmtg.com/2025/11/09/premodern-lobstercon-2026-info-and-registration/

Billy interviews Jonathan Phillips, who had slain 113 other, lesser wizards at the NEPM Fall Regional. Wielding a mildly spicy version of RG Goblins, he goes through his tournament.

OoooOOooOOoooooOooo Spoooooky! This 'Weeny episode follows our intrepid hero Billy during the Shoe City Showdown 2, a tournament series run surprisingly well for a crew as incompetent as the Zoo Crew. What starts out as a man-on-the-street episode turns into a mini tournament report, because Billy can't help but make everything about him.

Due to popular demand, Hardcast is now the Rob Show. Eternal Weekend Saturday with the whole gang at the spot.

God we're tired, hope you like these. Mike, Rob, and Bryce get grilled by Billy. Some punk lore.

You may not know this, but Duress Crew has a weekly dinner meetup, and you're not invited. This episode is the closest you'll ever get. Billy goes 'round the feasting table with three members of the war band we formed to raid Eternal Weekend 2025. Brendan surprises us with his modest, calm confidence, Brad shares his delight with finishing his CE power, and Mike slakes Billy's thirst for potty humor, straight from the bowl.our shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew
