To me, Kai's passing is a reminder that none of us knows how long we have on this planet. Why not spend what time we have being kind to each other? Strive to make the lives of those around you better. RIP Kai.

sometimes people get angry when I "destroy" magic cards with stamps

I am reminded of paul desilva's reasoning why old school players sign cards at events

#OverprintedMTG is just another format of #OldSchoolMTG, trying to recapture some of the nostalgia we older players have in buckeltoads, all spots been booked for this year's tournament but next year? Who knows!

If you're interested in the format just visit the blog:

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

Old School is pretty rad. Magic is pretty rad. This game takes me places I'd never think to visit.

Played a 3 day event in Hirtshals (Northern Denmark) this past weekend. Piloted a Swedish mono black control deck featuring 4 Walls of Putrid Flesh. Deck was bad 5-8, but the vibes were immaculate.

A Busy Month Wrapped Up And What’sΒ Next The ZombieMaster Open last week wrapped up what was one of the busiest months I’ve had in a long time. I kicked things off in DubΓ‘, Czech Republic with Mari, Florian and crew for 6 days before going to Prague and soaked in the city’s atmosphere. Then it was straight back to Philadelphia, where I had one day to unpack and repack before flying to Seattle for SorceryCon’s Unland Cup.

Team Unified #oldschoolmtg is so sweet. This was my build for the "World Cup" team event held in Darmstadt this past weekend. Went on an absolute tear at my seat, 10-1 in games during the Swiss. Berserk is just such a delightful Magic card.

It's definitely The Comeback -- more interesting question is what's the second greatest?

A lot of people would say 93/94 should be right up the alley of a MTG dinosaur, but the truth is I didn’t really play a ton of Magic till 96. Still great playing this Cube every time. Drafted UB and went 2-1
