I misread this, this card is terrible.

@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.

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!

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.

I would 100% play this over [[Icatian Javelineer's]].

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

I don't know if this is possible. But if there was some way of putting a metagame tracker banner. Maybe grabbing deck names of the top few decks from another site. That would be really helpful.

@kaluma i really dont understand your last posts... so i have 2 questions for you, so i can understand the whole thing better:
Do you stream aswell? If so...
Does this jeff got more viewers than you?
Somehow i feel i know alredy the answers.... and now i understand your post better.... it actually makes sense xD

I don't want this to get out of hand, but Kaluma (along with a whole bunch of other people here* @wfain) invented the deck and did it witha lot of it streaming so I doubt Kaluma has stream envy. I think jeff is very good at playing popular decks in interesting formats. Most TMD people are more attuned to vintage gameplay than jeff's audience probably is.

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.

@brass-man
That looks nice! Definitely worth trying out.

@protoaddict
From what I've seen its really good, just needs a home.

@botvinik said in StoneBlade:

The ledger shredders look like the worst card in the deck by a mile as to name one they take at least 2 turns to get bigger than delver. How did they work out for you in practice?

Yeah, but they loot. That's why you want them, not the clock.

Might be an April 1 joke?

Not vintage relevant but a big deal for paper players.

@botvinik
I think it involves Wishclaw talisman and Tendrils of Agony. This is a legacy deck and I don't really follow that format.

@daniel-worobec Someone bought out all the artificer's intuitions out there because of containment construct. There's a combo with it and LED.

This is the archetype it would go in. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/vintage-8-cast#paper

Currently just over 3% of the meta.

Its weird it doesn't say "affinity for artifacts" on it.

@lienielsen
No one really ever played the deck.
