Join us as we journey through the Premodern squirrel card pool. In this episode, we review the old-frame squirrels you might want to use to spice up the upcoming Bloomburrow Squirreled Away Commander precon. We also discuss what to do with all those squirrel tokens if you're bored of simply trampling your opponents with your squirrel mob. Perhaps an Opposition Squirrel deck is more your style.

Love the premodern content!
Great run down of older squirrel cards. I'm stoked to play them for Bloomburrow - this was awesomely helpful.

Glad to hear it and thanks for the comment!
Perhaps not the most competitive deck. But I considered Liege of the Hollows in a Nic Fit build (Veteran Explorer + Cabal Therapy) in combination with a full playset of Emgineered Plague in the mainboard. If you name Squirrel, you are the only one that profits from Liege of the Hollows' death trigger. The Nic Fit Shell ensures a high amount of mana and sacrifice outlets

I'm also thinking of something to do in a Veteran Explorer + Cabal Therapy build and I don't hate that idea.
So the squirrel opposition deck from 2002 that did good results…do you think would be competitive nowadays in premdoern format?

My guess is not great against the most competitive decks. Not enough firepower or control to beat either the best aggro or control decks. But iooks like a solid midrange kitchen table deck to me. Nice mix of removal, counter magic and disruption to cause some issues for an opponent. I'd probably switch up the creature package. Maybe add Deranged Hermit to work with Opposition.
