The 2026 North American Premodern Championship (NAPC) at LobsterCon 2026 was held in Boston, MA, from May 1-3, 2026. The competition featured 317 players, the largest LobsterCon to date, and sold out in under four minutes months earlier.
Since the banning of Parallax Tide on Jan. 18, 2026, many of the format's top tier remained intact. Mono Dreadnought was still considered the deck to beat, even without the Parallax Tide pivot post-board. Enchantress and Goblins held stock, and Terrageddon variants remained steadfast.
Various mono decks emerged in popularity following the ban, including a renewed boon in Moneyball . Two mono decks ultimately reached the top 8 of the 2026 NAPC.
The headline, however, was how the death of Replenish without Parallax Tide was greatly exaggerated; the 2026 NAPC final was a Replenish mirror (though the decklists had significant variations).
