    • RE: EW Europe, 2018 - Congrats to Alfonso Zarzoso on Mentor!

      What was number of Vintage players last year?
      Legacy was declining this year, 300 comparing to 450, most probably due to GP Birmingham next week.
      Congrats to @Thiim wining trial Vintage event and scoring 9th place on main Vintage event, also congrats to @PeAcH on his Top16 and 5th place out of 45 players on Old School event!

    • TMD clan on modo

      @Brass-Man is it possible to take ownership of TMD clan from Zherbus as well? It would be great if we can (re)build strong TMD modo comunity.

    • RE: Masticore Article

      Wow guys, what a story!
      I don’t know why, but reading this reminded me on old TMD and quality of articles I found there first time I discovered it.
      I feel that voting system embedded on this forum, while totally in line with online technology trends and nowadays user habits, somehow downgraded our community in terms of lack of comments and quality feedback on such great stories.
      @Log thx for your side of this great story, I totally felt atmosphere while reading.
      @Prospero Excelsior!

      There is not a single line about EU EW on WoTC site besides announcement from January. Didn't really expect full coverage or anything near that, but some simple article about it would be nice. Thx to @PeAcH , @Log and all other who shared info with us.

    • RE: Why Mishra’s Workshop, Lodestone Golem, and the Status Quo in Vintage are Necessary

      @diophan Well, even I lost 1st round vs him and before that lots of games vs Shops, I cannot agree that deck is dumb even with lucky openers. His tweet is not ok and it is disrespectful to all pilots who spent time developing Shops all these years.

    • RE: Workshop with Color

      @fsecco said in Workshop with Color:

      @prospero this is a great piece of writing and reminds me of mtg articles from old times. What happened to those great storytelling/theory articles from the past?

      Same here, I really enjoy every time @Prospero write something like this.
      Archive from previous TMD is available here : http://www.archive.themanadrain.com

    • RE: Modo Tournaments / League

      @Mike-Kidney Hi Mike, I am also CET time zone and I think most convenient daily slot for us is 1st daily during FRI, SAT, SUN starting @8.30PM CET. Power9 events are once per month starting @8PM CET on the last SAT of that month. TMD League is not played on modo and I don't think that time frame would fit your schedule. Maybe in near future Wizards will introduce League for Vintage on modo so you can play games almost whenever you want (I don't want to comment on prize structure of leagues).

      They will just adapt and add more/ change hate pieces.

    • RE: European Vintace Series @ 4Season Tournament

      @Log this is great initiative and I really hope it will have positive outcome.
      I am afraid that you cannot count on me at least until end of this year since I am waiting another child, and I'm pretty much locked out of traveling.

      At least we learned this about Vintage: " It isn’t particularly healthy or skill-intensive" 🙂

    • RE: Game Layout rules

      Picture is screen shoot from Round 14 Grand Prix Phoenix feature match.
      It's a modern.
      Zones are outlined to show that Dredge player can keep clean battlefield even with fanned graveyard. I am not sure about Exile zone legality, but since this is from GP feature match I guess judges were ok with it.
