edit

I've actually found Lurrus to not be good enough in this format, but the rest of this deck is pretty solid against 4x Trini/Lodestone shops. I got crushed by Flash, though. I should be streaming on MTGO later today

@desolutionist and I just played a set of matches that were lots of fun the 4x Tinker, PO, Vault, Key deck beat xerox but definitely got a bit lucky. And then gush tendrils lost to xerox. Fun was had, this reminds me of vintage in 2014/15. I haven't tried to play against shops yet though. Overall the format is explosive but not like actually that much more insane than some of the versions of the format I actually played in.

Yeah it looks insane on the surface, but once you realize there's 8 Forces, it's not that bad.

We still have to figure out how good Balance.dec and Necro.dec is.

reporting in

Necro.dec isn't good enough.

Sorry if this is hijacking, but I had a question about the U30 format.

@grandpabelcher said in Casual Vintage Formats:

Theory behind this is that it's tutors; the best, oldest fast mana; and unconditional, cheap draw-7s. This includes all of the P9, for tradition's sake.

So here's what's unrestricted:
[...]
Tinker

To me this seems strange. Tinker is both a tutor and fast mana, checking 2 of the restriction boxes. Why is it unrestricted?

As a side note, I feel that Imperial Seal would be a better unrestriction. Has that been considered?

you might want to think of Tinker as an additional cost tutor / blue artifact engine card. It’s honestly over hyped. You can just Pyroblast it and then they’re down two cards.
