    • RE: MTG B&R Update Incoming!

      @thewhitedragon69 said in MTG B&R Update Incoming!:

      We didn't even get the vanilla "Vintage: No Changes" notice. We got the implied non-notice "Vintage: the format WotC won't even acknowledge, let alone give a F about."

      They only mentioned the formats they were modifying. There was no mention of Standard /Commander /etc.

      @brass-man we are old... I, I simply have no words.

      @brass-man said in [BBD] The Kenrith Walkers:

      @topical_island I love the idea of saying the game is marketed to 7 year olds by making a reference to a 25 year old kids show. Maybe WotC isn't dumbing things down... Maybe we're just really old.

      This is a reason I really like vintage. I can go play vintage with my friends and we have a lot in common, mortgages, kids, money. I've been to a couple tournaments at a bar.
      If I went to the standard FNM that draws most of the players where I live I wouldn't have that comradery, I like vintage because I'm old.

    • RE: Playgroups for MTGO

      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!

    • RE: Single Card Discussion - Lavinia, Azorious Renegade

      @megustalabanana
      Lotus, 2 Moxen and Petal is four secondary sources (40% chance in opener) of mana. Math that out with a 4 off card (40% of 40%) and you get about an 11% chance of it happening turn 1 if theres 4 copies in your deck.
      Add in stuff like repeal and chrome or opal mox and your looking at 20ish percent.
      This isn't a bad turn 2 play.
      I think the home is in a mentor shell. Maybe a PO mentor deck without the PO's. Put in some extra Snapcaster/Jaces. Maybe a blue angel 2.0 deck.

    • RE: [M21] Angelic Ascension

      @vaughnbros I think against the big threats in vintage I would rather have this. Also, this gets rid Blightsteel. Beast within doesn't.

    • RE: August 28, 2017 Banned & Restricted Announcement

      As an Oath player I really like this, I also like that they will not be doing any thing prior to EW. This was a great move for WotC.

    • RE: I'm playing turn 1 Necro in DD wrong...

      If you necro to 12 life, so for 8 from 20, you can cast doomsday and cycle a street wraith while still being out of bolt range. If you cracked a fetch land or plan to you would want to go for 1 less life.

      @iamactuallylvl1
      Good watch.
      I'd love to hear your thoughts on how haywire mite stacks up vs needle in the green beats lists that are around.
      Also what archetype do you think got the biggest boost from this set?
      Great content!

    • RE: Magic 30th Anniversary Edition is bananas

      A large amount of reserved list cards on eBay all of a sudden. I'm expecting the market on that stuff to tank for a bit.
