After some long days at work, I want to write just a few short words on a project I am working on. And luckily, I have the perfect one in the furnaces: for the last couple of months I have been contemplating on, theorizing, designing and finally started building a 450-card Premodern draft cube! That […]
A machine is what. I am building a machine. Great. With that awesome intro, complete with references to music I should listen much more to out of the way, let’s dive right into it. It’s been a while since the last update here, and that is even despite the fact, that I have had a […]
It seems to be impossible to find an evening where at least three of my team mates are able to meet up with me to play some decent, old school face-to-face Magic in these summer times. And it is not because the summer weather here in Denmark should make you feel bad for being inside. […]
Today it is time for something new on these parts. A single card discussion. A SCD. I haven’t exactly done one of these before, even though I have been talking at some length about a string of different cards, I feel should see more play in our beloved format. This is exactly one of those […]

Back in the start of April, I had finally scraped together the funds needed to cross one of the big hitters off of my wants list for 2023, the Diamond Valley. It had taken me a couple of months, and I had been playtesting several sweet, sweet decks with the valley – including, of course, […]
“Again with the strange questions with obvious answers, eh?” Well, yes. Sort of. This time it may be more obvious than back when I was trying to define combo, though. Or at least I won’t spend nine pages exploring data and statistics of participant numbers, tournament coverage etc. But after attending my latest Old School […]
And how to play it, to become an even greater member of the Old School community In January last year I read an article on the very nice – no great, even! – Danish news site, Zetland (if you read Danish, please check it out, it is outstanding journalism and writing in general). Now, that […]
We have already come to it. Another one for the books. This time on of those years that will probably prompt a lot of books. Damn, a lot has happened since my last New Year post! Maybe not in my magical sphere, but in the world surrounding it. Again: Damn! But all that crap is […]
