Another one I have been thinking about for a long time. A post about my favorite cards. Why – and how is it relevant to you, you ask? Well, because I have mentioned so many times throughout the blog that this and that card is on my top five or top ten or whatever, but […]
Okay, it goes something like this: A software developer, a greenkeeper, a club pedagogue, a computer scientist and two government officials walk into a kitchen and sit down around the table… Okay wait. Stop. That may be a bit too much straight into it. A bit of background is in order As I have mentioned […]
Has it really been two months? Well, apparently. Time has somehow fastened again. I have started and stopped writing several posts. I just haven’t finished any. Haven’t had the spirit, I guess. But one thing, I have not yet written about, simply deserves – nay demands – a short writing. See back in the beginning […]
I think it is around two years ago, I started writing on this blog post. Back then it was about going Swedish – or at least being able to assemble a deck or two living up to the harsh reprint policy of the frozen North. I called it “Becoming a Swede”, but I never really […]
Finally, after around 83 days of January – 32 of them with the January Plague anno 2024 – we are moving on! February is here, and so is a new year, that we are finally able to start to enjoy. What a treat! And a treat it is! Because even though I think it is […]
Aaaaah, yes, I almost forget from year to year exactly how long January really is. Long. Really long! This year it is no different. And it never fails, each year right around January day 63 (would be around the 17th-20th had it been a normal month of around 30 days) I fall blameless victim to […]
There is no two ways around it. This weekend, January 13-14 2024 saw quite a unique event in Danish history. It was something that had never before happened. It was a moving couple of hours with a lot of feelings, and it seems like the world – or at least Denmark – has changed in […]
See? I told you the post yesterday was not the traditional end-of-the-year greeting. Nope. But this certainly is. Yet another circumvention of the Sun. Quite a feat. 2023 has not been bad around these parts – at least not Magic-wise. It has also been a year that I have actually noticed! Both 2021 and 2022 […]
Nope, this is not the end-of-the-year post, that is the Happy New Year post that will arrive tomorrow or some day after that. No, today is a merry Christmas post. Or happy holidays or whatever it is called these days. Two weeks ago one of my colleagues mentioned in an almost whispering tone, that I […]
Around a month ago a potentially very dividing discussion shortly flared up in the Danish Old School community. The discussion was about the very sensitive topic of how we feel the access to tournaments should be: always open or sometimes invite only? The backdrop for the discussion was the fact that one of the bigger […]
