The Edge-Man Championship
OLD SCHOOL MAGIC · NEW WORLDS · ONE COMMUNITY
An annual celebration of 93/94 Magic, strange decks, unforgettable artwork and the people who keep the Gathering alive.
Old School Is About More Than Old Cards
The Edge-Man Championship is an annual Old School Magic tournament hosted in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
It was created to celebrate the earliest years of Magic: the iconic cards, strange artwork, forgotten creatures and decks that still inspire players decades later.
But the real heart of Old School is not hidden inside a binder. It is found around the table: meeting players, sharing stories, admiring decks, laughing about terrible plays and creating new memories with very old cardboard.
