The sun has at last come to the north and the grass is green. So why not do a green episode? We talk about creatuires and spells. Underplayed cards and cards that as Eliot says “sees the correct amount of play”. Do you agree with our picks and thoughts?

At last it's time for a new episode! This time it was recorded live and streamed on Twitch. Watch the replay on our site or Youtube. This time we talked about The Dark and the card Pestilence because reasons hehe. Hope you like it!

Hey there! What's that? Who's there? Well it is Markus Lundqvist (or is it actually Richard Stebbing?) Dragged from ye old Britannia and representing the Brothers of Fires crew he had a chat with us about this and that and one very special topic for him. This episode is for all of you itching to play more cards from the whole of 93/94 card pool and are crazy enough for some big stakes. Yes, we sat down with him in a pub to talk about the thing that is Ante 40k.

We open a Scryings booster with a bunch of spoilers.

You have probably heard of Scryings and that it is spoiler season! We at Wak-Wak got a spoiler to write about, but we had an opportunity to hear what a lot of people thought about the spoiler so we instead did an audio recording. Hope you don’t mind and without further ado, here it is!

What have they done!? What on earth should we do now? Maze of it is unrestricted in EC rules and we talk about what, how and when you can do something about that in this LIVE* episode of Flippin Orbs.

Gordon, Eliot and Seb each brought to table one card to build a deck around. Some of the ideas may be viable, some may not. We also talk a bit about which is the coolest vanilla creature and of course the elephant in the room, how do we address all the drama that some pesky circles have done to our dear community?

This episode is part two of Episode 18 but it has been delayed so don't trust Gordon when he says it is episode 20. In this episode we talk about how to keep the interest and the format fun even though it doesn't change much. Also we talk about different ways and formats you can play to use your old school cardpool.

Yes, it is that time of the year again. N00bcon has come and gone and a month has passed. That means it is time for Magnus “Mg” De Laval to update the B&R, if any changes are needed that is. If you want to know if something happened, listen to the episode.

Feeling a bit like you missed out? Oh, do we have an episode for you! In this episode we let 6 guests talk about their n00bcon experience and we may also have a 7th person as a surprise ;)

Flippin' Orbs interviews Keith "The misprint guy" about early magic sets and collecting odd magic cards.

In episode 20 we talk with the deck builder, shark owner and premodern founder Martin Berlin. We talk about his old school cube, get some thoughts on the Winter Derby finals which featured UR Atog vs. UR Counterburn. We also spend some time addressing the new possible mulligan rule and what implications it could have for old school magic. Seb forgets what people he is talking with on the podcast and Gordon asks the hosts about Homelands, since the Arvika festival allowed it for their tournament last weekend.

Eliot, Seb and Gordon talk with Lorenzo about the Fishliver Oil Cup in Italy. What does it take to become mentioned by the 93/94 founder MG as an even better tournament than n00bcon? Eliot briefly talk about the Urza’s Chalice Cup the Beasts organized in February. We also adress different online tournaments and the rumours about Randy Buehler starting up an old school super league. What we talk about and when • 00:05:00 - Introduction of guest
 • 00:06:05 - Some talk about pesto(!)
 • 00:11:45 - What we are drinking
 • 00:16:11 - The question of the episode
 • 00:46:57 - The Fishliver Oil Cup
 • 01:32:45 - The Urza’s Chalice


At last we are back! With both an episode for you guys and a schedule for us to be able to start to record more regularly. Much joy! In this episode it’s only us hosts and the plan was that every host came up with a topic he wanted to talk about. That means we have three different topics and three different views on every topic. But after the recording went on a bit too long we decided to split this episode in two parts, in this episode we talk about Seb’s topic, playtest cards, and in the next part we talk about mine and Eliot’s.

For 3 hours we talk about different rules sets and house rules. First we talk with the amazing Guillaume Denoix, one of the earliest French players and one of the fathers of the French rules. Then we talk to the father of the format, Magnus “Mg” De Laval about the whole idea of house rules and his thoughts about it. We also talk about playing hate cards in the main deck and much much more. Hope you enjoy!

It’s time for episode 16 of Flippin’ Orbs! We are sorry that it has taken some time, but we promise we have some really nice episodes lined up for you in the coming months! In this episode we talk with Eliot Davidoff about the Beasts of the Bay and sideboarding. Hope you enjoy!

This is a special episode of Flippin’ Orbs recorded before Grant decided that he needed to take a break from the podcast. And isn't it fitting that this last episode is all Grant? He sat down in a pub with fellow Lords Matt and Carter and had a short talk and her it is completely unedited! That means the sound is a bit bad, but we hope you like it anyway.

This is episode 15 of Flippin’ Orbs and we have two amazing topics in this episode. First we talk about a bunch of underplayed cards and theorize if you actually can build something around them. After that we also talk about how to play old school over Skype and when the subject comes up we of course needed Dave Firth Bard to join us. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we first sit down with Svante Landgraf to talk about combo decks in old school. After that we also talk to Stephen Menendian about the same topic, how he got into old school and also about one of both his and Gordon’s favorite decks, UR Counterburn.

In this episode Gordon, Seb and Grant sit down and talk about Magic accessories like playmats, deckboxes and much more. Then we also talk to Legend Randy Buehler about his career and interest in Old School.
