Founding the Four Horsemen Old School Magic 93/94 Players Group and Format

The Four Horsemen is a new Old School Magic format originally suggested to The Chadster by Nick Brier and founded in June of 2022 which is  focused on the 93/94 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 from the baseline sets, and the 93/94 promo cards (Arena, Nalathni Dragon, and Sewers of Estark) can be utilized. The Four Horsemen promotes improved mental health and mental health awareness via online social interaction through community, connection, and gaming, specifically through playing a new format of Old School Magic the Gathering.

​

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 play dynamics and the community and camaraderie built around these themes.

​

The goal of the Four Horsemen (4HM) format is to be fun as well as different to specifically allow play of Old School Magic (OS MTG) cards from these amazing expansion sets that rarely see the light of day!  There are numerous other Old School Formats where you can play all of the top 20-30 "Usual Suspects" and all the typical powerful Alpha/Beta/Unlimited cards.  However, within the Four Horsemen, the structure is intentionally designed to allow the emergence of other cards that hardly ever see any play.

​

Thus, Four Horsemen OS MTG Decks are different for what you would normally see, which is what makes this format so much fun and so interesting and unique. It's a completely unsolved format and ripe for innovation. And we allow Proxies and reprints to make this format accessible to all!
