Wak-Wak's blog with random ramblings about 93/94 old school magic and more.
So I just played “Moosecup VII”, a recurring tournament here in Stockholm. The organizers usually have a small little spin to their events, this time around they called it “Antlers”. It’s a point system derived from “X-points”. I’ll get back to what "Antlers” entails later. *X-point Old School uses the Atlantic 93/94 rules, B&R and sets. I only ever played X-points at one other time, no #8 back in…

The Cursed Artifact cake is a crucial part of the tournaments “Swedish fika” that is the namesake of Kafferep (the name hails from 18th century when women were not allowed in coffee houses and had their own “Kafferep” at home instead). Coffee and fika (cakes and sweet things) is like a religion in Sweden. It’s a tradition to take a proper picture when you earn a Rag Man. You can find Sebs other…
Sadly, we got the news that Joen Erik lost his bag with his old school deck on the train home from Uthden Troll Cup. On November 7 It was missing when J.E arrived at schiphol, and he had it at Amersfoort, so it's most likely at one of the stations before schiphol, like Amsterdam Zuid. If you have any information or if you see any of the content below being sold, please reach out to:…
“Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky In the early beginnings of the lock-down I slapped my knee and told myself and everyone else that would listen to me that when this is over, we shall play again but god damnit if I ever would sit in front of a computer screen and do it. It’s the company that matters! The beer! The socializing.…
Far up, in the northern hemisphere lives a rugged man with great whiskers and a long beard whose colour has started to fade. His intense blue eyes wander between the tomes in his never ending scholarly pursuit for all that men of today might fail to recall. As a great sorcerer he has left it for others to pursue the customary and recognized spells. He lingers between the unknown and the hidden. I…
Next month it is time for the Ivory Cup VI ( more info here ), our yearly big tournament here in Stockholm. Usually it is a pretty back to basics tournament except for one thing, the beer. We are very fond of our beer and usually have a bar setup with a lot of nice carefully selected beverages. This will however be hard now when we are doing it all online on Tolaria.app . That’s why we have put…
Jonas and I went to a gaming convention in Denmark, eager to try the new format mixing Spectral Chaos with miniature wargaming. The location was an old brewery, but alcohol wasn't served until after five p.m. We nevertheless agreed that it was a reasonable idea, since one tends to become quite worn after a few days otherwise. Our friendly Danish hosts spoke in a mixture of Cockney and Swedish, and…
Running a stream every week with extra tournaments every now and then takes a fair but of time. Especially when also fixing with this site and all that goes into that. Because of this I’m “a bit” behind on publishing earlier stuff on YouTube . But we have now started to publish all old matches there so please do subscribe to the channel. Today we published all of the matches from Mitja and…
Joining the ODOL League Every month the Dutch community arranges an Old School League with Mr HW “Henk” Mtg at the helm. I haven’t played any leagues but wanted to try one out and when I had a chat with Åland about it he had some good pointers and suggestions. First and foremost, the leagues with people in your timezone are to be preferred. The time difference can be dealt with and when a lot of…
Hi al! Today we have a guest post from Slotherine on our Discord server. So I’m just gonna just going to leave the word to him, here you go! /Gordon 2020 - what a year huh, oh it's 2021 already and this is a continuum. Negativity, financial turbulence and social distancing, we have faced hardship and are still struggling through some hard times. So with that in mind I thought the good people…
I have been kind of stubborn regarding not playing webcam magic. I have always said that I would not play magic if I could not hold the cards and the company of it all is a big part for me regarding the experience. Then, a couple of months into the pandemic and no clear end in sight, after finishing Nexflix and thinking about how even Moses had a tablet that connected to the cloud, I came to the…

A note from the editor: As might be familiar to some of you, it is custom to bestow the title of Rag Man on the person who finishes last in our tournaments. One person has skirted the abyss more times than any of us. To celebrate Seb's third Rag Man, it was decided to transform him into Cosmic Horror. Eureka, he screamed! This is his story. A not from the second editor: After Seb’s amazing story…
Most people who know me, probably associate me with playing either a stupid combo deck, or UR CounterBurn, and they are not wrong as those decks are some of my favorite decks. I have however one more pet deck, and that deck is what I will write about today. I call the deck 4 Color Green, which may sound a bit stupid, but there is a reason for that. The mono green ramp deck is almost as old as the…
Because of that damn virus everyone is talking about, this year’s n00bcon was sadly cancelled. But hey, we old school players won’t let something like that come in our way when it comes to the traditional Easter fight! As soon as countries started to lock down and people needed to cancel their trips to Rotary Pub the amazing Florian Von Bredow decided to organize an online tournamentnamed n00bcoM…
