When I started playing MTG back in ’95 there was a rule that said that your deck was to be Full Alpha or No Alpha, it quickly translates into Alpha is banned from tournament play which is the mood I had when I started buying in Oldschool 93/94 in 2014! That means I had tons of Beta staples and once (2017) I wanted to pimp my deck / complete my sets I had to face a hard choice :
- Rob a bank to upgrade to Alpha
- Keep buying Betas that won’t feel like the final upgrade
- Buy Unlimited and play budget
I chose a mix : I sold my Beta cards, “upgraded” into Heavy Played Alpha when it was cheaper than my EX/NM Beta or buy HP Unlimited to have them extended and look “finally upgraded” / “mine”.
I’ve got lucky I found Stef Margouya to do my extensions and here I’ll show you the results…

I started Old-School at the end of 2016, early 2017 and as everyone who starts playing ’93/94, I was wondering : what deck am I going to play ?
There is 2 types of people : the first one owns a large collection of cards, the second one starts fresh.
For the first type, the answer is quite simple : you just browse a few blogs and find a deck that fits your mood < repeat every week >.
As for the second group, like myself, it’s a little bit more difficult, knowing that this year has been agitated with price spikes….

As we previously said on Facebook and in the First post, we’ll try to post some interview, with basics questions, because Old-School is about casual competition, drinking beers & meeting with friends.
The first “beta-tester” of this interview process is Guillaume Denoix, most of you already know him, met him or talk to on Facebook but you probably don’t know more, this is where the interview plays its role 🙂

The Boars wish you and your close ones the best for 2018!
As you should know, this year will be the Wizard Tournament’s one in Goteborg at the end of march.
We’ll be back to basics, where the fun began…!
For those that don’t know, the tournament will be Alpha only games with original deck construction (40+ cards, no 4-of / 1-of restrictions) and gameplay rules.
The brewing started and we’ve seen alot of pictures on Facebook so I guess I should share my brews too, until further testing I’d be happy to hear your thoughts about these.
