The Motor City Metalworkers put on an awesome weekend of events this weekend for PEACE! Premodern community events are the heart and soul of Magic for me these days. The Gathering remains undefeated

8 Retromancers traveling from Columbus, OH for the Premodern Exalted Angel Charity Event (PEACE)

PEACE 2026 arts & crafts table featuring hundreds of markers and stamps to alter cards and more

A casual game of Type 4 to wind down the night

4 Portents altered to feature one each of Wooper, Paldean Wooper, Quagsire, and Clodsire
1 Gush full-art alter featuring a blue horse and text that reads “Almost Forgot It’s All For Fun”

3-0 Strixhaven draft playing 5 Color Soup. The Dellian Fel card might be actually, factually unbeatable. Very fun deck to play with great mana, plenty of removal, and seeing all kinds of cards. What’s not to love?
