Texas Old School Magic

ABOUT TEXAS OLD SCHOOL

Texas Old School is A New Innovative Old School Magic 1993-1994 Format.  Created by Michael Sheffenacker & Brian Weissman, Creator of 'THE DECK', the goal of Texas Old School is to innovate and address the inherent challenges within existing Old School Magic formats.
