Fine I did the thing. My personal timeline really starts in 2015, with only very casual interaction with the game in 1995-1997 and then 2002-2003ish. #oldschoolmtg

Team Unified #oldschoolmtg is so sweet. This was my build for the "World Cup" team event held in Darmstadt this past weekend. Went on an absolute tear at my seat, 10-1 in games during the Swiss. Berserk is just such a delightful Magic card.

Played this #oldschoolmtg deck at the Tundra Wolves Challenge 8 in Montreal this weekend! It was quite fun, really. Went 4-3, which was good enough.

7pt Singleton White Weenie deck constructed mostly from nonsense alters, unauthorized foils, and other assorted proxies. Work-in-progress. Embrace the chaos. #oldschoolmtg

Dave Firth Bard @dfirthbard.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Went on a pretty pretty good run with mono-green in the February NEOS webcam league, going 7-2 overall, with the second match loss coming in the finals against perennial end boss Lucas Glavin. Format was X point #oldschoolmtg. Deck felt really well-tuned, creature mix was aces, Pixies are bad

Dave Firth Bard @dfirthbard.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Absolutely over the moon with these alters I just picked up from @artofheatherhudson.bsky.social at the Chalice #oldschoolmtg event in California! Can't wait to pick off some Assassins and Preachers and Knights with 'em.

Dusted off this take on Kobolds + Army for a friend yesterday -- I built this back in like 2020 when I still had blue duals and power. It wasn't a great deck but it did go off a few times, and when it did, it was glorious. #oldschoolmtg #magicthegathering #mtg

Dave Firth Bard @dfirthbard.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

I remain thankful, as ever, for the Gathering. Happy Thanksgiving, all. #oldschoolmtg

Geoff Walker made the Top 16 of the recent X-Point #oldschoolmtg webcam monthly with this take on Suicide Blue. Always happy to see the "big Dib." #mtg #magicthegathering
