Welcome!

Greetings fine wanderer of the web, and welcome to the home of the Dwarven Warriors Cup (DWC): a special annual Dutch Old School gathering.

The tournaments birthfather and host is Sir Erwin Demmer, an avid Dutch enchanter from the great city of Voorthuizen. The tournament is invite-only and rumour has it that the amount of lobbying required to get anywhere close to attaining such an invitation is - unfortunately - well beyond true madness. Or is it?.

Erwin makes sure he provides his guests an insouciant and awesome time through his endless hospitality. Which he takes as seriously as slinging his old cardboard, seemingly effortless and with maximum amount of joy.

The DWC follows strict rules regarding its cardpool: only limited coresets Alpha and Beta are allowed to be taken into battle. Therefore, you're guaranteed as much throwback as possible - outrivalled by Alpha40 only - and you'll end up in an era where only the mere basics apply. DWC honors the B n' R of our Swedish collegues; modern rules, as is accustomed, apply.

The 2026 Wizard's council of Yore

Those with eyes to see cannot fail to observe it: the fellowship of daring Wizards swells with each passing season, growing mightier and more numerous. The old ways of spellcraft are stirring once more, and AB4K stands ever more firmly as the one true discipline for those who seek genuine mastery of the magical arts.

Yet heed this warning — not all who wear the robe walk the righteous path. Certain apprentices cloak their treachery in false words, their spells hollow and corrupt. Blinded by ambition, some have even stooped to erecting barriers of a pallid shade we shall not speak aloud. They will find only ruin, for the deepest arcana suffer no cowards. The worthy shall stand; the wise shall triumph.

This year’s council shall be governed by the sacred texts of the Wizards Tournament, whose laws are known to all who have walked this path before. Let no one claim ignorance of the codex.

Furthermore, the elders have seen fit to place two additional spells under restriction, their power deemed too great to be left unchecked. Beyond what the Wizards Tournament already forbids, the following incantations are restricted to a single copy:

• Twiddle
• Channel

The elders have convened and the scrolls have been sealed. These are the Wizards called forth to this year’s gathering, tasked with bringing their most inspired and devastating brews of ancient sorcery. Witness them:

The Wall of Stone

These battles are hard-fought. No alliance can be built upon. Each sorcerer must harness everything within himself in the persuasion of victory. A second of ignorance leads to the ruination of one. Sacrifices must be made, all will mustered and the enemy be faced head-on.

Troubling news

These are daunting times. The senior uppermanagement of the tournament has received whispers of upcoming riots. Due to personal threats, Sir Demmer was forced to take precautionary measures and neither he nor his family has left the 4000 residence without 2 bouncers (1 alpha, 1 beta Unsummon) at their side for six months now. That, combined with formal and forceful complains by a certain Mr. Edo H. – who wishes to remain anonymous – has lead Sir Demmer to have no other choice but to retire the trusted tradition of powered and unpowered pools.

Thus, unlike previous years, let it be known that henceforth:

The Wizards Council will be split up in powered and unpowered pools no longer.

Word on the street is that Demmers' official standpoint is: "With great power, comes great responsibility". This statement is yet to be confirmed.

Behold, but a glimpse of the festivities and comradery that can be witnessed by the participating Wizards.
