Justin "Pro-ven-sall," Sac, and Billy have a nice chat about recent developments in Suvival decks. We each bring a perspective on different subspecies of the archetype. Note that this episode was recorded somewhere in early December so some info about LC signups is dated.https://www.duresscrew.com/
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/
Piping hot! Daybreak Games, the keepers of MTGO, have created a new research tool for niche formats, Contraption, and the first tranche of sanctioned formats is none other than Premodern.

Duress Crew ventures deep into Dominaria's forbidden archives in their newest project: Lore Whores. Hosts Matty and Ben light a candle, brush the cobwebs, and crack open an ancient tome: The Gathering Dark, by Jeff Grub. This arcane scripture was the first book of the Ice Age Cycle of MTG novels, and you're invited to listen to an eldritch book review.
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.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming, this one's a twofer: part one is with Nick and he has a chat with Billy about TO Fatigue and the cost of doing CREW BUSINESS. Part two is Mike's assessment of eternal formats and some New England punk lore.
Due to popular demand, Hardcast is now the Rob Show. Eternal Weekend Saturday with the whole gang at the spot.
Sweet! We got the travel recording setup to fucking run. Billy kicks it off with Rob, who looks like he's the crew's muscle but he's actually the crew's heart. After Billy abandons the episode halfway through to let Brendan and Rob talk chess and poker.
God we're tired, hope you like these. Mike, Rob, and Bryce get grilled by Billy. Some punk lore.
It's currently 3:50 AM don't say I never gave you nothing. The first episode of the DxC daily trip diary from EWNA25
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
Psst! Don't play this one too loud because it may disrupt your speculation! In this episode, Billy tries a new format, the "pigpile," and commits his schedule before doing effective sound checks. Fortunately, he's carried in the safe, mature arms of Ian Adams, Javi Lugo, and Brian Selden. We enjoy a pleasant evening's chitchat regarding PM's hottest new archetypes centered on Quiet Speculation. (For the record: Ian invented this deck and if you suggest otherwise, I WILL cry.)Ian's list: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=71452&d=741554&f=PREMJavi's list: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=68297&d=716756&f=PREMour shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Lacking functional peers, Jay rallies the troops and leads the show tonight. In this episode, he asks the gang about their trip to the Sacred Torch Showdown and himself about his bad choice of friends. After a moment of appreciation for our handsome OST hosts, we chat results: Brad gets 2nd on Oath Spec, Nick and Jay do mid-but-positive, and Billy memes himself directly into a sewerpipe where he belongs.Brad's list: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=71540&d=742270&f=PREMOur shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrewleave us a shitty voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/DuressCrew
