Eternal Durdles

🎯 Looking Back, Looking Forward 🎯

In this episode, we did something we don’t usually do in public:
we pulled up last year’s resolutions and actually held ourselves accountable.

Some goals we crushed.
Some we half-completed.
Some… life very clearly got in the way.

We talk about:

How daily content quietly became the priority

Why some competitive goals didn’t happen

Building eternaldurdles.com from nothing into a real hub

Traveling to Eternal Weekends (including Europe 🇪🇺)

What changed for us personally in 2025

And what we’re aiming for in 2026 — content, travel, health, and growth

This episode is less about results and more about process: how priorities shift, how goals evolve, and how you keep building even when plans don’t go perfectly.

If you’ve ever looked back at a list of goals and thought
“wow… a lot happened this year” — this one will probably hit home.

👉 What’s one goal you set last year that surprised you — either because you hit it or because life changed it?

Thanks for being part of this ride. Onward to 2026. 🖤

Zac and Phil dive into the world of *budget-friendly Premodern decks* that can actually compete at the top tables. They break down why some expensive staples like *Mox Diamond, Gaea’s Cradle, Survival of the Fittest, and Phyrexian Dreadnought* push decks out of budget range, then showcase powerful alternatives you can build for under $400.



Decks discussed include:

*Stasis* – a $150 control lock deck that still punishes unprepared opponents.
*Toginator (UB Psychatog/Reanimator)* – resilient, customizable, and surprisingly cheap.
*Landstill* – a control staple with Mishra’s Factories and Standstill value engines.
*Goblins* – explosive tribal aggression for under $200.
*Chance Control* – a spicy coin-flip combo deck with Frenetic Efreet and Chance Encounter.
*Burn* – fast, reliable, and always a metagame presence.
*Mono-Blue Tide* – a $250 powerhouse that’s proven it can win big events.

Along the way, they share insights on *card choices, metagame calls, sideboard tweaks, and personal stories**—including how one player literally *died at dinner and still top 8’d with Mono-Blue Tide.

Whether you’re new to Premodern or looking for competitive decks that won’t break the bank, this episode is packed with strategies, laughs, and a little bit of Eternal Durdles chaos.

👉 Comment below: What budget deck are YOU playing in Premodern right now?

This week on Eternal Durdles, Zac sits down with Force of Phil for a no-holds-barred conversation about the state of Legacy Magic: the Gathering.



We dig into why the format feels warped right now, what decks are dominating (hello Reanimator), and the real culprit hiding in plain sight: Entomb. From banlist philosophy to Wizards’ management of the format, we cover it all — with plenty of hot takes along the way.

Topics include:

Is Reanimator too strong for Legacy?
Why Entomb might be the real card that needs action
The ripple effect on fair decks, sideboards, and metagame health
How Wizards’ hands-off approach could sink the format long-term

If you care about Legacy’s future, this is the episode you won’t want to miss.

👉 Share your own Legacy hot takes in the comments: What’s the one card you’d hit on the banlist today?
