Aahh yes! The sweet dream of being one of the big boys, one of the bad MF’s in the yard. One of the true wizards. Oh! Did I mention I have managed to assemble a complete Alpha40 deck? No? Yes I have, but I am not afraid to mention it again. Excuse me for being […]
Aaaahh yes! An old fashioned. That is what I call a cocktail – I know my ice-cube game is not impressive, but it doesn’t matter much. It works! It is also so aptly named. And yesterday I did something that seemed as old-fashioned as buying things in physical stores and inviting more than four people […]
Part 3. The Midrange/Control deck Oh yes! More writings on Verduran Enchantress! The next piece of the MEGA series! I know, you’ve missed it sorely the last couple of weeks (and my sincerest apologies for being so slow to write this piece. I guess life hit me, and forced me to spend my evenings watching […]
It has happened again! The last month, I have seen an almost constant flow of Old Spice coming directly to me daily. Oh boy! I have been on a shopping spree. As in autumn 2020, the Danish government released some frozen funds this March to stimulate the economy. As with many other such attempts on […]
Part 2. The Aggro deck Right. Off to the biggest of the challenges first. As I have mentioned, I am no big aggro deck player. Actually, I don’t really like playing creatures with no other interesting ability than the ability to attack (LINK). And as I mentioned in Part 1 of the MEGA series (LINK), […]

Naaah, I know, I didn’t really nail it… I thought I was pretty much done, buying playable cards from the Reserved List – recent price spikes and all that going on – but then I had some good offers, and I […]
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 […]
Exactly when I can’t really seem to find the time to finish one of the articles I am working on, Ole Bonnichsen sends me an email containing a write-up of his latest indiscretions in the A40 league. Enjoy – not least the crazy deck pics! – Emil by Ole Bonnichsen Last month I participated for […]
I told you, this was on the way. A new mailday post was immanent. I have had mail. Quite a pile, even. And I still have at least one letter in the mail, containing about 70 cards more. Look at this: See, that is a nice pile of cards. Unfortunately they are not all Old […]
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 […]
