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 […]
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. […]

As I mentioned the other day there is at least one more story I want to tell from the latest iteration of the great – nay legendary – tournament series At the Mountains of Madness on the Jutland ridge. But this one has nothing to do with my performance, the deck I played, my teammates […]
Okay, okay, venturing out in the deep blue here. I know it may be dangerously shallow waters to try to sail, and I know it may not exactly be popular. I also know, that of course the question above cannot be answered in an objective way – everyone is free to define a good game, […]
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 […]
