Premodern 2025 is in the books, and one thing is clear: it was The Year of Black. In this recap episode of Two Cabal Therapists, we look back at a year defined by discard spells, ruthless removal, and players learning—over and over again—that hands are temporary. We break down the biggest trends, dominant decks, and key moments of the 2025 Premodern season, talk about why black strategies thrived, and share our thoughts on what this means for the format going forward. Expect meta analysis, questionable opinions, and a bit of therapy for anyone who lost their win condition to a well-timed Duress.
