I tried Price of Progress for a bit in a Mono Red Aggro/Control list. I usually won or lost by turn 4 and with Wastelands in the deck my opponents usually fetched basics by game 2. The damage from Price wasn't significant.

Thats Kaya Control,

Someone (i think @ChubbyRain) mentioned they're 15-2 in leagues with it.

@babau said in Arena Rector Control:

i play rector / omniscience and show and tell is absolutely essential.
win more games thanks to show that thanks to the rector.
right now I'm playing a UB version without rectors.

You can't put a Planeswalker into play off a Show and Tell.

@protoaddct I think the idea is that Transmute becomes tinker 2-5 (or however many your running). Personal tutor is a good idea to in this sort of list (I would assume). One problem with Personal Tutor is you can loose Tinker to Leyline/Will, Transmute is also a bit faster.

Edit: -Also what @MaximumCDawg said.

@stuart I was at that tournament!

You can block with a Mishra's Factory and use it to pump itself.

You can activate an Orchard on your opponents end step so they don't get an attacker the turn before you Oath.

(not explicitly vintage) +ing a planeswalker is a cost, so you can cast a Jace and + it if you think it will get bolted.
This plays out as you cast a Jace TMS, hold priority +2 it then pass priority. They then bolt it. Now your Jace is alive, at 2 loyalty and at that point the fateseal resolves.

I'll keep adding to this thread.

Great podcast, glad you are back!

@maximumcdawg said in Transmute Artifact:

@rat3de Well, let's play that out. What's the best line here?

T1 - Land, Welder
T2 - Mox, Mox, Transmute away one Mox to bin Inkwell/Sphinx, Weld out?

That's not too shabby but it's a pretty long line of things to have to occur.

You only need one mox and one volc/rainbow land there. I think a Vintage Reanimator may be better though.

Most people don't look at demonic tutor as acceleration but getting lotus with it is +1 mana of any colour. Its sometimes correct to get an academy or sol ring if your low on mana.

Don't overplay your board (especially as a shops player). Hold some stuff in your hand just for mass board removal.

Great read!
