@smmenen I treasure SMIP over all other Vintage content and am delighted to have another episode

@marland_moore
Magic has become expensive. It's not just the cards but paying for leagues when your just starting out is rough too. It is what it is imo.

@john-cox

Just get FBB swamps. Or spend a little extra for betas

Not great timing. Everybody has covid right now 😕

One of the things I found counter-intuitive about Chain of Smog is that it doesn't work like Storm. That is, you don't have to stack up a bunch of CoS triggers right away. They create copies on resolution, so you only ever have one CoS on the stack getting volleyballed around. Cute way to enter a multi-player non-mandatory loop!

Thought I would mention. There's a full proxy Vintage web cam Discord now also. If you feel like playing with paper and can't (because of Covid, or your deck is worth more than your house). This is an option!

Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🎅🦌

@daniel-worobec

That sounds fun and relatively inexpensive.

@blindtherapy I'm not sure if this has changed but MTGTop8 didn't always contain every list in every event the last time I tried to use it. I think it depended on users inputting results and that typically only happened if someone cared enough to do so (like with decks they were personally interested in). The data from Goldfish is very different...

@russian-spam-bot I will confess I chuckled.

@reprint I mean, you can very actively take your high horse and shove it, until Maro posted a clarification that was on twitter and not on the official wizards channels this was entirely new to the format.

I top8ed the first event with hollowvine. I'm 'Vizzerdrix' on mtgo. not sure if anyone else frequents this site; I recognize LSV, twitch streamers doomwake and yamakiller, and it looks like doomsday prodigy DiscoverN top 8ed two of the three events.

@botvinik I've really gotta check that one out at some point. Did you see the Peter Jackson documentary, They Shall Not Grow Old? Similar subject matter and I thought it was incredibly well done.

I like it quite a bit.

I think if you want to play black and red you might as well play blue and if you want to play grixis the old thief lists seem like a good place to start. They often ran some discard elements and the notion theives/hulllbreachers seem good vs all the thoughtcasts running around and golos is very sad when you dack their crucible.

@iamactuallylvl1 Thanks for taking the time to do this.
