@volrathxp can you be more specific? What kind of questions do you want? I guess this won't be an AMA, right?

@grandpabelcher sounds like premium hour wasting.

@smmenen a come on, you tease. Make this the thread Google will lead to when people look for an explanation.

I love these, I just wish I could waste more than just one perfectly good hour on each one.

Can someone explain why "Keeper" has this name?

@nedleeds how does discard like Duress, thoughtseize and therapy perform in that environment? How aboutDark Ritual?

When trying to motivate a quite sizable fnm to attend a Vintage tournament, with many players that have never played the format before, but a good chunk of legacy players and a small handfull of Vintage players among them, what kind of Proxy amount would you see as optimal?

Overall playtest cards seem to kind of delegitimise a torunament in the eyes of many of the fnm regulars, so i dont want to allow 100% playtest cards. We have a local legacy League that, with the latest season, startet to allow all reserved List cards to be proxied.

So with the rise of Survival, do you think we could give this card another look, as a card that isnt hardcore GY hate, but rather flexible against alot of strategies and is obviesly very easy to cast. This is a card that could be brought in to fight Snapcaster and JVP Decks without having to bring in clunky hard GY hate. Maybe this could be considered as GY hate 5-6.

Is this sancioned?

• As a storm player holing a land in hand while casting dark ritual to bait them to Misstep the Ritual, thinking they can constrict you on mana. Withholding information is not really a Vintage specific thing, but some of the applications of this are.

• Very Common: Hurkyl's recall yourself bouncing your artifact acceleration back to produce mana and storm count. Same works with Chain of Vapor ofcourse.

• Casting Cabal Therapy or Thoughtseize on yourself sometimes has slight advantages: It might get a Blightsteel Colossus shuffled back into your deck if you want it as a tinker target. Pretty rare, but it sometimes helps: Taking a spell you are not planning on casting to get quickly to Threshhold for Cabal Ritual. It costs a mana and 2 hand cards to produce 2 more mana, quite the all in play.

• Gushing in response to a Balance to make your opponent sac their lands.
