A Danish old school regular, Ole Bonnichsen, played the Alpha 40 league in January. He was incautious enough to mention it, and I did my best to strong-arm him into writing a short report about his experiences. Enjoy the beautiful madness of Alpha-Only Magic! By Ole Bonnichsen Alpha 40 started in Sweden at n00bcon 2018 […]
Oh, I must say! I have been gathering strength to write this post for some days now. The hand-wrenching. The sweat and tears. I have been so worried! Since just before Christmas, I have been expecting a package of cards from Spain. And not just any cards. But they just didn’t arrive. The sender called […]
Back in the early days of Legacy, a quite fantastic deck emerged at one point – the AngelStax. Not a much played or very winning deck. But in my view, it has always been a great deck. I like the gameplan, I like the cards. I love the Angel! You can find the lists and […]
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 […]
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 […]
