@smmenen Well then, here's my list of cards I would like to hear your thoughts on from Battlebond and M19:
Spellseeker
Arena Rector
Archon of Valor's Reach
Stunning Reversal
Runic Armasaur
Sai, Master Thopterist
Alpine Moon
Isolate
Remorseful Cleric
Tezzeret, Artifice Master
Amulet of Safekeeping
Suncleanser
I wonder who has joined the design team that they're recently taking a stab at these elegant multi-deck hate answers? Is it Gavin?
Anyway, this card rocks off with its socks off. A one drop hate card that hits Oath, Shops, and Dredge? That's super relevant! Sign me up for a dozen.

some sort of dredge-shops hybrid list
You're a terrifying person, you know that, right?
@chubbyrain Card is playable. My only concern -- and I don't play enough Vintage lately to know if it's serious or not -- is whether a removal spell that addresses colorless creatures only is too narrow. Hitting all artifacts is broad enough to see play. Is killing shops creatures and Eldrazi but not other artifacts still broad enough?
@fsecco In roughly alphabetical order:
Dack Fayden or Nicol Bolas steals one of their creatures to block with. Depending on the board state (particularly if Wurmcoil is involved) that might be enough.
Elspeth Tirel or Sun's Champion makes 3 blockers.
Gideon Jura makes all the creatures attack him instead.
Gideon of the Trials makes you un-killable.
These are six mana walkers that do not end the game and whose most powerful effect is going to tutor up another terrible six mana walker. Why...?
@topical_island said in [BBD] The Kenrith Walkers:
I agree. It's like we got tired of marketing to 14 year olds so we started marketing to 7 year olds instead. A few more like this and I'll find myself running agro teletubbies with a purple splash to hardcast Barney the dinosaur.
See now the internet is way ahead of you
I an a world with Git Probe, this also always just cantrips. This is a solid utility body, and I bet someone does sneak it into a list somewhere.
This is a very powerful card, but I can't see what we do with it in Vintage. Wouldn't you want Bob any time you might reach for this? I know this card is faster in some cases, but it's also so much less reliable than a card that draws you something every upkeep.
Hey all,
I've got a set of Collector's Edition I got back in '97 taking up space. I love it, but to be honest I've never used it myself. I see that the Old School crowd uses these cards to play with, which means the value has gone up and if I were to sell it, the cards would get some play.
The cards are all Mint / Near Mint except the Moxen, which are signed by the artist (Gen Con 98) and in Heavily Played condition. The corners on those cards especially are pretty banged up. The dual lands are Light Play, having been used in sleeves a few times, and the Psionic Blast and Icy Manip are both signed, too.
If anyone is interested in buying, PM me. Looking to sell as a complete set, not piecemeal, and ideally to someone who is also going to keep it together while they use it for Old School.
(I'm also in talks with a potential buyer in San Fran, and if that's the way I go, I might go deliver it in person. @Smmenen, if there are playtest-friendly tournaments in the next few months out there, I'd love to say hello to you in person and get stomped by So Many Insane Plays)
@smmenen Doesn't that kind of cut against what you are trying to do, though? I thought you were looking for objective and consistent metrics, not mob justice, when it comes to the B&R list?
