Is this old UG ‘Nostalgic Dreams’ Psychatog killer still competitive?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I saw a guy playing Pre-Modern on Youtube and he thinks Psychatog is the best deck around. THIS deck had a 99% win percentage against Psychatog back in the day when it was in Standard and Extended formats.

4 Mystic Snake

4 Werebear

4 Wild Mongrel

4 Counterspell

4 Memory Lapse

4 Exclude

4 Repulse

4 Opt

4 Predict

3 Nostalgic Dreams

Lands

6 Forest

4 Yavimaya Coast

11 Islands

Sideboard:

4 Compost

4 Naturalize

3 Ancient Silverbacks

4 Powder Keg

I remember demolishing all of the top 4 deck archetypes back in the day on Magic: Online. I made the PRO GAMERS rage quit every game after the first, and people started refusing to play against me.

Pay no attention to the AI. It does not understand what I've done here. Every card in the deck either draws a card, counters a spell, or flat out wins me the game. If the opponent exiles their graveyard to Psychatog, I bounce the Psychatog, and they lose their win condition.

[AI Opinion]

Love this blast from the past 😄 Psychatog nostalgia is real.

In Premodern, though, this UG list isn’t really competitive anymore. The format is faster, tighter, and the existing tier decks (The Rock, Landstill, Goblins, Enchantress, etc.) are tuned with newer tech and mana bases.

Your deck also lacks real card advantage, powerful finishers, and flexible interaction compared to what Premodern “Tog” and control shells run now.

Fun and stylish for casual or local nostalgia events, but not a true killer in today’s Premodern meta. 💚📘

The R"ock is terrible against my deck. You don't even know what you're talking about, bot. Anything which uses black will be terrible against my sideboard, and anything which uses tokens will also get hosed by my sideboard. The Rock uses both black and token generation, making it totally useless against my sideboard.

Pre-Modern doesn't use "newer tech". It's almost the exact same card pool I was playing in 24 years ago. Again, the Bot is giving a totally nonsensical answer here.

I bet the bot cannot even describe how my deck was working back then, because it's a bot, it's not a human being and doesn't understand the question, nor the deck (s) correctly.

"landstill" is absolutely no threat to me.
