When I first heard words on the street about the Scryings expansion hatching from the old world, I immediately knew I had to brood over an event adopting the newer cards to our older spells family.  As so, I pitched a team trio formula over our Facebook group and finally settled on a mid-january weekend […]

You might know me as Amye Lucius Lugo, the gentleman archaeologist, part-time adventurer, antiquities connoisseur, preserver of history, restorer of truth but a little less as the devoted teacher.

  On September 10, fourteen veteran mages gathered and put their honor at stake, ready to battle for the Seigneur du Corail title. This time around, the battleground was set at a local pub called Le Corail (The Coral). Thematically, each participant had to bring an Old School 93/94 legal card representing a creature from […]
