Posted in my blog today. Oldschool tournament report from the Oldschool Players Ball. Not vintage content, but a worthwhile read for likeminded folk.

graaaaahhhh.
The Vintage format lives on broken cards, and I see no reason why there shouldn't be broken cards that benefit my particular deck of choice to an inordinate degree. I mean, that's only fair.
-
Honest question: Why do Old Schoolers post pictures of decks instead of typing up lists? I ask because it doesn't catch the feel of the era since camera phone ubiquity didn't exist in 1994, let along cell phone usage in general.

@the_gremlin_lord the ideal is to take a picture of your decklist with a vintage Polaroid camera, but most Old School players have spent all of their money on cards and cannot afford one.

Personally I much prefer the pics over the decklists - particularly for the older stuff.

@the_gremlin_lord Aesthetics are a big part of the format (hence the restrictions regarding artwork and borders), and for quite a few people the aesthetics and overall sweetness of the deck outweighs functionality. Photo decklists enhance this aspect.

Enjoyable piece, sir."Memnarch or the vedalken salvage most of the large machines, leaving us only scraps. Scraps are enough."

The least they could do is use a sweet Instagram filter.

@Shaman-Ben your idiom is inspirational.

@ten-ten Thanks man. I try to make the writing enjoyable enough that the subject does not have to carry it.
