I often think back to my early days playing Magic, and the mystery that those cards held for me. I’ve now been playing Old School longer than I played the first time around. But those first memories have stuck with me after all these years. This is my origin story. Back in those days, I…

This derby has been my most fun ever. I didn’t make the Top 16 sadly, but I ended up in 22nd place, leading the hearty 5-3 cohort with a 71% OMW%. Every single one of my games and matches was incredible with wild swings and haymakers both ways, and every opponent was fun and engaging,…

The first Magic cards I saw were from Ice Age. I was intrigued by the pictures of Krovikan Sorcerer and Johtul Wurm. What were these otherworldly monsters and the humans that summoned them? Growing up in Ohio winters, snow-covered fields always felt so magical and seemed to extend forever. Who knew what was out there…

The last paper cards I bought as a kid were Tempest. I’d been eyeing the new spoilers for weeks and this set had it all – big creatures, flashy spells, actual characters as cards. I took half my savings from my allowance to the game store and spent it on ten booster packs. Ten! I…

I love cubing. This is now a not so well kept secret. I got into old school playing constructed and since then, have leaned more and more into cubing as the primary way to get my cardboard fix.
