Premodern Summer Exodus

Lobstercon 2023 was a resounding success! And here to discuss it we have the winner himself, Brian Selden. A mere 25 years after being the Magic World Champion with Rec Sur, gifting our community a plethora of discount gold-bordered staples, he received another copy of Survival of the Fittest. This time stamped with North American Premodern Champion. Big thank you to everyone who had a hand, no matter how small, in making Lobstercon great. And a huge thank you to Jared and Dave for pulling it off yet again.
