InQuest Issue 1, May 1995 (Part 2)

This week we wrap up all the first issues with the second half of the first issue of InQuest! If you haven't seen the first part, check it out. Thanks again to Greg (@oldschoolmtg) for lending me these magazines to show on the blog! You'll be getting them back soon, I promise! I just noticed …

Inquest Issue 1, May 1995

Today we have another first issue of an old magazine and this one might actually be my favorite of all the magazines I've shown on here. There's some super goofy stuff that made me laugh out loud. When I first got the package from Greg with the first issues of Duelist, Scrye, and Inquest, I …

The Mulligan Effect: Chasing the First Hand of Cards.

Guest post today! A while ago Jon-Michael sent me an email asking about writing a post for the blog and we've kept in touch since then. We've had many conversations on the topic of Old School Mtg. He's a super cool guy so I was confident that he would have a great article in him. …

Scrye #1

The Wizard's Tower has been pretty quiet as of late. This has been one of the busiest summers of my entire life. Work, school, girlfriend = no time for blogging. Recently, however, school has ended. I was then hit with the flu real hard and pretty much slept for a week straight. When I say …

Duelist Issue One, Winter 1994, Part 2

Recently I received the first issue of The Duelist in the mail from a friend who lent it to me to write a post on it. There's actually a lot of content in it so I decided to post it into two separate parts.  I also have some extra responsibilities this summer so my free …

I've been pretty overwhelmingly busy with so many extra responsibilities that I've had very little time to even think about any hobbies I have. Fortunately, things have slowed down a bit and …

No Longer a Marid

One of my favorite things about Old School Magic is the offbeat cards. From the perspective of today, looking back at the early years of Magic, Wizards of the Coast certainly had some growing pains to work through. And through that stage came awkwardness, surprises, and a handful of really cool, unique cards. Magic was, in …

Paradise on I-495: A Tournament Report

Being into Old School Magic for a while now I've watched as the value of many cards grew to larger numbers. That's a good thing and a bad thing. First off, it's bad if you're trying to slowly acquire cards you need and it's also bad for people who don't have any Old School cards …

Summoned from the Dreamrealms: Some Old School MTG Favorites

It's been almost a full year that I've been playing Old School Magic now. When I first started I didn't know enough about the game to put together a decent deck. I've learned a lot in the past year. I've grown a decent collection, met a lot a of great guys, and made a blog. …
