It’s a kind of Magic.

Everything about the Finnish old school Magic: the Gathering scene.

 

What is Old School?

93/94, Alice, Old Frame, Premodern - there are tons of popular old school formats available for the nostalgia-hungry player. In general, old school focuses on Magic: the Gathering sets released with the “old frames” - from Alpha to Scourge. Currently, the most popular format among the Finnish crew seems to be 93/94. We’ve compiled a few resources and links to get you started.

The Finnish OS Scene

We’re a growing group of aficionados, ranging from people who played Magic at the beginning of time, to those who’ve ventured into the world of old school only more recently. While we love those black borders, more important for us is the game, the community, and the creativity. Don’t have a Lotus and a black-bordered Alpha deck? No matter, neither do the rest of us (for the most part).

Physically, many of us are located in larger cities like Helsinki, Turku, Tampere and Jyväskylä, but we’re new school enough to be on Discord and organize e.g. webcam tournaments. The main language on Discord is Finnish, but if you’re interested, don’t let that worry you, and join the fun!
