    • RE: Awesome Pics of Awesome Cards

      This is my pile of oldschool cardboard. Still got some white bordered eye sores, but I'm slowly getting there. The Volcanics are altered unlimited. Bought them from a drunk friend because I was drunk.

    • List of oldschool (sub-) archetypes

      The Stockholm community has put up a site featuring a plethora of sweet oldschool brews along with short descriptions of general game plan for every build.

      http://www.wak-wak.se/all-decks

      Edit: The credit goes to Gordon Andersson and the Wak-Wak crew. Two of the featured brews are mine, but that's about it.

      @pugsuperstar

      You're not cutting a creature in the matchups you bring in Gisela or the dragon. That feels incorrect. I think Muldrotha's out vs. shops and Xerox.

      I would probably cut an Island vs. at least dredge.

      Maybe @brianpk80 can answer this better, but I think you can cut a number of oaths in the PO matchup.

      Depending on the flavour of dredge, I think you can cut 0-2 FoW.

    • RE: [IMA] Change to rules on Blood Moon effects

      @thecravenone Which somehow reminded me of the time my buddy told me he choose Bazaar of Wonders when he cast Revoker against his Dredge opponent. He won that game and told the guy "You should have probably activated your Bazaar" before he left.

    • RE: [Old School] Building a Better Prison Deck

      Thank you for an interesting read. Great job!

      A card that I feel should be explored more in prison shells is Time Vault. Skipping a turn with a lock in place is essentially free.

      @chase_dagger It's to accentuate alpha corners. Plus a lot of people use black sleeves, and accidental theft of your opponents creatures (because [[Animate Dead]]) is a real thing. Especially when you've had a couple of beers. A third reason is that beat up edges look more crisp.

      So this means you're no longer allowed to name a creature type when you play caverns under a moon effect.

    • RE: [HOU] Solemnity

      It removes time counters from stuff with Vanishing as well.

      Rulings:
      If the last time counter is removed from a permanent with vanishing and the sacrifice ability is countered, that permanent will remain in play indefinitely with no time counters on it. Neither of vanishing's two triggered abilities can possibly trigger again. Similarly, if a permanent without time counters on it that's already in play becomes a copy of a permanent with vanishing, it will stay in play indefinitely. If a permanent with one or more time counters on it that's already in play becomes a copy of a permanent with vanishing, it will vanish as normal.

      Shouldn't that mean

      • Chronozoa + sac outlet will go infinite.
      • Ravaging Riftwum and Waning Wurm are cheap fatties
      • Lost Auramancers becomes Academy Rector (ish)

    • RE: [IMA] Change to rules on Blood Moon effects

      @themonadnomad Yes. Like @thecravenone said, it will no longer ask for a creature type (but you're probably free to say something anyway).

      If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it lose will that ability before it applies. The same is also true of any other abilities that modify how a land enters the battlefield or apply “as” a land enters the battlefield, such as the first ability of Cavern of Souls. This is a change from previous rulings.

      Dropping a CoS under a Blood Moon would be pretty bad unless you really need a Mountain that might turn into a Wastes.

      I've had a look at untap.in before. It seemed very messy, but maybe it deserves another look. 🙂 My handle is "hardy".

      @thewhitedragon69 Cool! That's like 4-6pm here in Norway. Might work once in a while, but it's usually family time before my kid goes to bed. I'll make sure to check if you're online when I have the time to escape everyday life!

      Sorry if this is necroing. Is anyone still using cockatrice? Would be sweet to get some games in once in a while. My handle is "hardy".

    • RE: Vintage Redux: A New Format for your Consideration

      @joshuabrooks I like it. I've toyed with the idea of a Vintagy format only allowing old boarder sets but with a higher power level than middleschool/premodern/hyperextended.

      I play a couple of different casual formats that have grown to be become quite popular. The key to succeed in creating a community is to start small and grow it organically. You don't need buy-in. Build it and they will come. Or not. 🙂
