Could this be the theme - Red Orcs and Goblins? In the legal sets there are 21 cards that mention Goblin and only 14 are creatures - not enough for a 100-card deck.īut Goblins often go hand-in-hand with Orcs. Then I started looking at the pile of Goblins. So I started looking through my first ever binder and shoebox of Magic cards and pulled out cards to fit the deck. These cards had sat in a binder for probably twenty years and were opened from Chronicles boosters some-when in 1995. Maybe I could even stretch it to RGW so I could include my Palladia-Mors. Initially I looked at trying to build RG because I had a copy of Stangg from Chronicles. I love ways to give unloved cards the light of day and there are so many Old School cards which don’t make the top tier but deserve their time in the limelight - I mean, I had a headless horsemen across the table from me! I had seen Brother Jonas’ article on the Brother’s Highlander house format on Facebook and I was instantly sold on the idea. I was also chuffed to bits to receive the spirit of COPcon award and a Brothers of Fire signed by all the competitors, a prize I will really treasure. The casual nature of the day and the laid-back attitude of all of the competitors was a breath of fresh air from the usual Standard/Modern grindfest punctuated with yells of ‘Judge’ all over the room. I can safely say it was the most fun I have had at a Magic event. I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to attend COPcon VII, an Old School gathering hosted by the powerful Brothers of Fire and I loved it: beautiful cardboard, great venue, and supercool people – everyone.
