I used to collect lands back in 1994. I saved 170 Alpha and 120 Beta basics because I LOVED the saturated colors and artwork. I really wish WotC would bring us back to the simpler days of hand-drawn art and original frame that drew me in to begin with... Thanks for sharing!

4 years ago today I picked up this beautiful Alpha Black Lotus to complete my Alpha set. My my has this little flower flourished since. Sadly, due to recent events, she is now retired - never to “Tap for 3” ever again... sigh...

I’m incredibly excited to have added this 1998 Worlds playmat altered by Christopher Rush and Dan Frazier to my collection. I’ve been looking for a grail mat to play #OldSchoolMTG with for a decade and now the search is over. I’m honored to own such a piece and can’t wait to play

Today I’m pleased to share the 1st piece of my next project! I have commissioned the original Alpha artists to paint their iconic Power 9 onto Artist Proofs from the 93/94 era. This beautiful piece by Amy Weber is the first to arrive and I’ll share more over the next few months.

7 of 9 Power 9 proxy pieces now acquired. Waiting on Ancestral Recall. The Timetwister though I’ll likely need to find one already completed and for sale somewhere.

Playmat restoration complete! Spent a couple hours today with some professional tailor equipment to restore this playmat and flatten it for conversion to tube storage and eventually framing/wall-mounting. The BEFORE and AFTER pictures speak for themselves. I’m VERY pleased!

I’d love to play normal Commander one day, but I’ve yet to finish building my Old School Commander deck. It was different seeing multiple Black Lotus generated (using a CE copy as a token). Post Malone with the OG duals too on #GameKnights here: youtube.com/watch?v=j8FtcD…

Today I share my newly-acquired piece of artwork: Ancestral Recall hand-painted in acrylics by the great Alpha artist Mark Poole. I selected the exceptionally-rare Beta Artist Proof Island (version B) as the canvas for this incredible piece. Please enjoy!

Last Thursday 5/30 I was diagnosed with an incurable Stage 2 cancer. I went into emergency surgery this morning and started my first round of chemotherapy today. The moral of this story is if you suspect something is wrong please have it checked. Don’t be stubborn like I was…
