Part 1. The introduction So Enchantress decks has been around since Alpha. Or almost. At least Verduran Enchantress has been around since Alpha. In the Old School metagame, we very rarely see the fine lady at the top tables. I think that is a pity. In this series of five, it is my goal to […]
Short post incoming. Actually not really a post. It is not even a mailday photo post. I just want to share with you, that I am so looking forward to the coming week. There are about 200 cards on their way to my door, from different places in Europe, and expect all of the to […]
When I started playing Old School Magic, I was very aware of the prices of the cards. I did not like to pay a lot of money for cards that were objectively (from a Legacy point of view) bad. Cards like Basalt Monolith. I ended up buying a playset of Beta copies, even though I […]
Ahh. To be able to build a true Wizards’ deck. An all Alpha deck, or Alpha40 as it is called these days. That is the dream. Or? I mean. As I have mentioned several times, I really like Beta cards. Alpha cards are, of course, mythic. They are rare. They are beautiful. And they are […]
Aaaah Black Lotus. The most beautiful flower out there! Today is the third anniversary for my acquisition of this beauty I know it has seen some battle. Maybe even some pavement! But it is a Black Lotus. And it is mine. I sometimes remember the Rifleman’s Creed – you know the “This is my rifle. […]
Merry Christmas and happy New Year’s – 2020 has almost come to an end, but just to be on the safe side, stay inside, hide your treasured cardboard in a place where no water, paw, baby fingers, fireworks or crazy-Christian moms can find them! Another year has passed. And what a year! It has been […]
Nope. No creatures for me. Not even Serra Angel or Juzám Djinn. And especially not Erhnam Djinn or Serendib Efreet. I sometimes enjoy playing Triskelion, Atog or even Shivan Dragon. But most of the little attacking things simply do not do it for me. There, I said it. It’s here again: I don’t like playing […]
For quite some time now, I have wanted to write something about the impact Magic: the Gathering has had on my life. I haven’t done it because I haven’t had a real good place to publish it. Now I do. This blog. Because, as I write in the “About”-section, I sometimes just write about life […]
A couple of years ago I was contacted by one of my MTG-friends. He asked me if I wanted to sell my unlimited duals. I asked him why he would want to upgrade from Revised to Unlimited, and he told me, it was because he was building an old school-collection. I had only heard the […]
So everyone and their grandmother now knows about the great Magic: the Gathering format of Old School. The format for the really rich, old and casual magic players. The format is defined by a never-changing very limited cardpool. Only seven sets are allowed (if following the Swedish rules): Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends […]
