Equilibrium

The other weekend I went down to Gothenburg, alone. I had some plans to hang out with friends in the city during my Christmas vacation, but a sprinkle of Covid put a firm stop to all that. So I took a weekend away from the family, mainly to water some social flowers that had been dry for too long. Watch a couple of rad movies (like Mad God ), have some long walks in the motherland, and chomp down a fistful Swedish Kebab pizzas. While there, I also picked up six more rares for the Legends set. Two from Kalle Nord and four from Morgan "Farsan" Karlsson. "Fun" fact: There are more rares in Legends than there are total cards (c+u+r) in any other of the "early expansions" (Arabian Nights, Antiquities, The Dark, Fallen Empires, or Homelands).

286 players. Twenty-two countries. One champion. It is my great pleasure to share the musing of Koos Cramer from the last oldschool Winter Derby! /Mg out Writing a tournament report is new to me. But for this occasion, winning the winter derby 2022, I've given it a try. Hope you enjoy it.  The first derby I ever participated in was the summer derby of 2018, ruleset EC. Here’s the deck I played that tournament: Back then I didn’t own enough Underground Seas, so I borrowed them from my good friend Jasper. I went 4-4, if I’m not mistaken. One of my losses was against Randy Buehler with his awesome TaxEdge deck. After that derby I tried that deck for a while, also at n00bcon 11. I’ve played a few Derbies so far and I try to play a different deck every time (not only for the Derbies, but in general). Here’s what I played in the Derbies thus far: Summer derby 2018 – Black Blue (4-4) Winter derby 2019 – Tax Edge (4-4) Summer derby 2019 – Mishra’s Workshop deck (6-2, top16) Winter derby 20
