Do I even remember how to do this? An old fashioned tournament report from an actual physical tournament with actual people in the room around me – is it even possible? It has been way –WAY- too long, but it finally happened again in the last weekend of June 2021. And let me just start […]
Aahh yes! The sweet dream of being one of the big boys, one of the bad MF’s in the yard. One of the true wizards. Oh! Did I mention I have managed to assemble a complete Alpha40 deck? No? Yes I have, but I am not afraid to mention it again. Excuse me for being […]
It has happened again! The last month, I have seen an almost constant flow of Old Spice coming directly to me daily. Oh boy! I have been on a shopping spree. As in autumn 2020, the Danish government released some frozen funds this March to stimulate the economy. As with many other such attempts on […]
Exactly when I can’t really seem to find the time to finish one of the articles I am working on, Ole Bonnichsen sends me an email containing a write-up of his latest indiscretions in the A40 league. Enjoy – not least the crazy deck pics! – Emil by Ole Bonnichsen Last month I participated for […]
A Danish old school regular, Ole Bonnichsen, played the Alpha 40 league in January. He was incautious enough to mention it, and I did my best to strong-arm him into writing a short report about his experiences. Enjoy the beautiful madness of Alpha-Only Magic! By Ole Bonnichsen Alpha 40 started in Sweden at n00bcon 2018 […]
Oh, I must say! I have been gathering strength to write this post for some days now. The hand-wrenching. The sweat and tears. I have been so worried! Since just before Christmas, I have been expecting a package of cards from Spain. And not just any cards. But they just didn’t arrive. The sender called […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have got mail! Actually I have had several maildays the last couple of weeks. With a lot of different stuff in it. Nothing really big, but quite the pile it is. The cards I have acquired over the last month or so are not just Old School. I have also bought some cards for […]
Do you know this guy? Of course you do. It is Santa. Today in the form of Old School player and trader extraordinaire, Christian Arent. The other day I conducted a trade with him, and today he took to the road to exchange the cards. What a guy! So what cards are we talking about, […]
