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 […]
When I started playing Old School Magic, I was very aware of the prices of the cards. I did not like to pay a lot of money for cards that were objectively (from a Legacy point of view) bad. Cards like Basalt Monolith. I ended up buying a playset of Beta copies, even though I […]
Ahh. To be able to build a true Wizards’ deck. An all Alpha deck, or Alpha40 as it is called these days. That is the dream. Or? I mean. As I have mentioned several times, I really like Beta cards. Alpha cards are, of course, mythic. They are rare. They are beautiful. And they are […]
Aaaah Black Lotus. The most beautiful flower out there! Today is the third anniversary for my acquisition of this beauty I know it has seen some battle. Maybe even some pavement! But it is a Black Lotus. And it is mine. I sometimes remember the Rifleman’s Creed – you know the “This is my rifle. […]
Merry Christmas and happy New Year’s – 2020 has almost come to an end, but just to be on the safe side, stay inside, hide your treasured cardboard in a place where no water, paw, baby fingers, fireworks or crazy-Christian moms can find them! Another year has passed. And what a year! It has been […]
Nope. No creatures for me. Not even Serra Angel or Juzám Djinn. And especially not Erhnam Djinn or Serendib Efreet. I sometimes enjoy playing Triskelion, Atog or even Shivan Dragon. But most of the little attacking things simply do not do it for me. There, I said it. It’s here again: I don’t like playing […]
For quite some time now, I have wanted to write something about the impact Magic: the Gathering has had on my life. I haven’t done it because I haven’t had a real good place to publish it. Now I do. This blog. Because, as I write in the “About”-section, I sometimes just write about life […]
A couple of years ago I was contacted by one of my MTG-friends. He asked me if I wanted to sell my unlimited duals. I asked him why he would want to upgrade from Revised to Unlimited, and he told me, it was because he was building an old school-collection. I had only heard the […]
So everyone and their grandmother now knows about the great Magic: the Gathering format of Old School. The format for the really rich, old and casual magic players. The format is defined by a never-changing very limited cardpool. Only seven sets are allowed (if following the Swedish rules): Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends […]
First published on Magnus blog, August 23 2018 A couple of weeks ago a regular at the Danish Old School community’s Facebook-page posted the photos below, along with a description of a horrible washing machine malfunction and some less-than-advisable storage of Old School cards (ie. in the basement). This flooding came during one of the […]
