I have got mail! Actually I have had several maildays the last couple of weeks. With a lot of different stuff in it. Nothing really big, but quite the pile it is. The cards I have acquired over the last month or so are not just Old School. I have also bought some cards for […]
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 […]
The last couple of days has been great days for checking my postbox. Through the second half of October I managed to sell off some of my Revised Duals. I upgraded them to these: The upgrade from Revised duals to Unlimited ones, is one of those things, that I for long time tried to assure […]

Do you know this guy? Of course you do. It is Santa. Today in the form of Old School player and trader extraordinaire, Christian Arent. The other day I conducted a trade with him, and today he took to the road to exchange the cards. What a guy! So what cards are we talking about, […]
Originally published on Magnus’ blog on September 5th 2020 I went for a tournament. No, not an online one. An actual real-life, physical, get-together-with-old-friends-and-new-and-play-some-cardboard-on-a-real-table kind of tournament. It was great! If not for the constant fear of the plague. No, it was actually just great. It was the aptly named At the Mountains of Madness […]
Originally published on the DOOM tournament website in June 2020 I decided to challenge my comfort zone, and participate in an online Old School tournament this June. The DOOM – Danish Online Oldschool Magic. Even though I am a very experienced tournament player, before the DOOM tournament, I had only played one (1) match of […]
First published on Magnus blog, August 23 2018 A couple of weeks ago a regular at the Danish Old School community’s Facebook-page posted the photos below, along with a description of a horrible washing machine malfunction and some less-than-advisable storage of Old School cards (ie. in the basement). This flooding came during one of the […]
