GREETINGS OLD SCHOOL MAGIC PLAYERS & WELCOME TO THE FOUR HORSEMEN!
"Maximum Old School Magic Fun, & Proxies Allowed, Without the Usual Suspects!"
FOUR HORSEMEN TOURNAMENT #22 OVERVIEW
​
The Four Horsemen (4HM) Old School Magic format is focused on the original 1993/1994 expansions sets of Magic the Gathering including: Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends & The Dark. In this format, only cards from these expansions plus the five basic lands and dual lands from the baseline from Alpha, Beta, or Unlimited (ABU) sets, and the 93/94 promo cards (Arena, Nalathni Dragon, and Sewers of Estark) can be utilized. The only cards from ABU allowed in 4HM are Basic Lands & Dual Lands. This format structure is intentionally designed to allow the emergence of other cards that rarely ever see any play in any other Old School Magic format.

Four Horsemen Old School Magic Overview
Four Horsemen is focused on community, connection, and gaming, specifically through playing a new format of Old School Magic the Gathering we created in July of 2022 called "Four Horsemen". This is a new Old School Magic format centered on the original 1993/1994 expansions sets of Magic the Gathering including: Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends & The Dark. In this format, only cards from these expansions plus the five basic lands and dual lands from the baseline ABU sets, and the 93/94 promo cards (Arena, Nalathni Dragon, and Sewers of Estark) can be utilized. To make this format accessible to all, all reprints and proxies and are allowed!
The Four Horsemen structure is intentionally designed to allow the emergence of other cards that rarely ever see any play in any other Old School Magic format. We are a rapidly growing group of individuals who are passionate about the original Magic the Gathering game, the character of the vintage cards, the uniqueness of the 1993 -1994 Magic gaming experience, and the community and camaraderie built around these themes.
