Tournament Rules, Format, and More
Format of the tournament
Scryings ‐ Constructed Format
Scryings is an expansion of the Old School MTG (Swedish rules) format, introducing an additional curated list of cards from later sets including Fallen Empires, Ice Age, Homelands, Alliances, and Weatherlight. Released in 2019 by Magnus "Mg" De Laval, the Scryings card pool was designed to complement the original Old School card pool by incorporating 116 additional cards that align with the nostalgic feel and strategic depth of the format.
The added cards bring new tools and archetypes into the Old School environment, such as graveyard mechanics, tribal synergies, and flavorful legendary creatures. Examples include Argivian Find, Ashen Ghoul, Autumn Willow, and Balduvian Horde. Scryings retains the spirit of the Swedish Old School format by excluding overly modern mechanics while celebrating Magic's history up to Weatherlight (1997).
This format is embraced by portions of the Old School community looking to diversify deck-building and explore new strategies within the classic Magic era. It maintains compatibility with Swedish Old School rules, ensuring a balance between innovation and tradition.
