My Alpha 40 Journey Begins

Posted February 1, 2021February 3, 2021 Emil2 CommentsPosted in Tournament reports

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 […]

Mailday 4 – Lightning Strikes!

Posted January 28, 2021January 28, 2021 EmilLeave a commentPosted in Maildays

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!

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, […]
