About:

I started playing Magic in 1994, and I'm still in the game despite trying to leave it multiple times. I participated in a lot of tournaments back then and got some good results, but I'm too lazy to list them down. For merely affective and fun reasons, I largely prefer the old cards both as a player and as a collector, but I've played basically every format in the game.

I'm a kind of Jolly Joker (with the face of a Jester's Cap) being a collector, player, commentator, and writer. I'm passionate about Magic and all its aspects.

I will try to bring a little humor with a historical and classic point of view in my articles.

The Arena of Magic: The Gathering and Its Beasts

By Elric (2019-05-16)

Every MTG tournament inspires histories, tales, and sometimes legends as they are strongly tied to the attendees and their behavior. Like I did in my article about Magic traders, my goal is to depict a funny description of the different types of Magic players.

The Bazaar of Magic: The Gathering and Its Beasts

By Elric (2019-04-15)

Buying, selling, and trading is an everyday part of the life of an MTG player. In this article, I will humorously describe the various seller-types and their main differences, some fun stuff included. As American author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. once said, "All persons, living or dead, are purely coincidental, and should not be construed.
