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 […]
And finally something that goes according-ish to plan Okay. I know. I introduced a clever system for my mailday posts: one each quarter summing up what the acquisitions had been for the last three months. So clever. So simple. And yet, apparently, too difficult even for myself. Because I have not posted three quarterly mailday […]
What is privilege? It is not an easy question to answer. Especially if you’ve had it your entire life, like I have been blessed to have. It can be a host of different things – big and small – possibly also very personal and subjective. And the strange thing about privilege is, that when you […]
I feel like I start all my (rare) articles with some iteration of “has it really already been x months” or something along those lines. And thus also today. It has been some months, but I have simply not felt like writing anything. I think I have two or three half-written posts lying around somewhere, […]
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 […]
The other day I was once again forced to try new things. I know! And in the middle of my summer holidays, no less! Scandalous, but as long as it is primarily new things, but kept within the realm of Magic, I guess it is okay. Some of it was within the realm of Magic, […]
Another quarter of 2024 has come and gone. Now I am in the middle of my summer vacation, and just trying to relax with my family. And look at cards. The spring has been somewhat insane workwise, so I have not been playing or tinkering nearly as much with Magic as I had hoped for. […]
… or how I learned to jam all restricted or should-be restricted cards into a pile and lose a whole bunch, while doing awesome stuff… It should come as little surprise to you, my dear reader, if you have followed my blog or just read a little on and off here, that I like playing […]
You know how something just seems to not be impossible to match? How everything seems lost? That was my feeling when the great Jonas Brincher announced his tournament At the Mountains of Madness 2024 (must be interation numero VI). It was to go down on the exact same date, as I was already booked for […]
A quarter and then some of 2024 has come, gone and went. I have made several purchases and maildays has been planty. Or not really actually, because most of what I have bought the last couple of months has actually been face to face, but some of the acquisitions has involved mailing. So great. Nothing […]
