  @smmenen said in SMIP Podcast # 86: The 2018 Vintage Year in Review & Moxies Award Show:

  I wouldn't give a best picture oscar based upon a 10 minute supporting actor performance.

  *laughs in Hannibal Lecter*

  I would consider a sideboard card for card of the year if it changed things significantly enough. That said, I haven't listened to the show yet so we'll see if I change my mind.

  Last tweak:

  The manabase a bit more stable now, although mentor is tougher to cast but 3 sources should do it. SB vs dredge stronger, and vs blue decks. Cut Balance, too situational.

  @nedleeds I remember those days for type II. What I did not understand was type I. This is when I started playing and I decided to buy into power and Mana Crypt and Mana Vault were both unrestricted for a long time. People did not figure out the Hurkly's Recall trick right away so the amount of broken fast mana was just crazy.

  They really overreacted to the Hurkly's Prosperity deck and restricted all of the parts and left us with a dumb control heavy meta. Just to have Urza Block almost kill the format entirely. Good times.

  @moorebrother1 I always love to see some fine rituals. I think Cyrus played the deck quite well, despite missing lethal one time (thankfully he didn't get punished for it). I think he got pretty unlucky in match one game 1 losing to his own necro not finding a tutor.
  I was pretty surprised he won against pitch dredge without any sideboard cards. DPS is one of the few decks that can skim on dredge hate a bunch, but not having any and just planning to be faster especially against pitch dredge with MM, FoW, mindbreak, therapy and unmask is very risky.
  Iam sad that bob underperformed so much, especially his match against Andreas was very interesting to me.
