How to convert this deck to Premodern?
Recently got introduced to Premodern and it really reminded me of how the game was when I originally played (1993 to 2000).
In 1998 I managed to make it onto the Canadian National team, and all the cards from the Standard (ie Type 2) deck are legal in Premodern:
4 Cursed Scroll
4 Mox Diamond
4 Tithe
4 Soltari Priest
4 White Knight
4 Warrior En-Kor
3 Soltari Monk
2 Sky Spirit
2 Freewind Falcon
2 Man-'O-War
3 Disenchant
2 Firestorm
1 Earthquake
4 Wasteland
2 Undiscovered Paradise
2 City of Brass
2 Gemstone Mine
11 Plains
Sideboard:
1 Armageddon
1 Disenchant
3 Ebony Charm
3 Warmth
4 Pyroblast
3 Sleight of Mind
Sadly I don't own Mox Diamonds anymore so I can't afford to make it exactly. Is there a way to convert this deck to Premodern that captures the same feel of this deck, without just becoming a standard Premodern white weenie deck?
Without the Mox Diamonds I am not sure the Tithes are worth it, and if those aren't there, I think the value of the Cursed Scrolls is reduced.
I think the black cards can be cut reducing some of the colour crunch.
Seems like an obvious add is Lightning Bolt if you keep red in the mix
Curious to hear the thoughts of people who have been playing this format a while.
