I find it really strange that I haven’t already written an article like this. I mean, of course I have mentioned the card before in high terms. It is even at the very top of my list of favorite cards to play. But this card merits its own article. And recent events (that I will […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
