About
premodernmtg.com is the community resource layer for the Premodern Magic: The Gathering format — the cards from standard-legal sets between 4th Edition (1995) and Scourge (2003). It does not replace premodernmagic.com (Martin Berlin's canonical format-authority site); it wraps it with the things that authority site intentionally does not do: deep card pages, archetype primers, matchup writeups, event archives, a glossary, monthly metagame snapshots, and a public finance dashboard.
Who runs it
premodernmtg.com is edited by Adam Lipinski. Some pages are drafted with AI assistance and then reviewed before or after publishing under a tiered model: strategy primers, matchups, guides, banlist entries, and metagame snapshots are human-reviewed before publishing; decks, events, player bios, and glossary terms are spot-reviewed; and mechanical, schema-driven card pages and computed finance pages are generated automatically and audited. See the methodology for details.
