Congrats!

I'm torn on this. I love a healthy format but I'm so sick of seeing mentor blue be the only go to blue deck really. Something has to give there. Shops is fine, leave it alone, I play 2x gush in my painter deck, the card is busted but I don't think it needs to be restricted again. I'm not sure where the format could go right now to fix these problems, maybe unrestricted stuff instead of restricting stuff?

Well, I ended up buying power and most of my deck. Now I need to buy
4x Volcanic
2x Seas
4x Force of Will
4x Scalding Tarn
2x Polluted Delta
1x Surgical Extraction
2x JVP

Well it's official, I just bought 99% of the deck just missing 2 JVP's and a Surgical extraction.

Yes this seems very sketchy and I would look into asking any local stores if anyone is missing a collection or not. I will message him and try to pry a little and see if he gives the same story to me as he did to you.

I am at work, can you copy and paste the post? I deal with a lot of online transactions.

What area did this happen in? I will cross post this to Facebook groups once I am home. My thoughts go out to this individual. I am still recovering from my vintage deck being stolen a few years ago.

@protoaddct I feel the same way at times. I bought into MTGO power and such online only to have a really crappy experience.

Legacy is an incredible format if you like playing powerful cards with insane diversity but not having to worry about Workshop, Power, or Bazaar. The format is still growing with it now being in the team events and I think it's still bringing out a ton more new decks with Miracles taking an arrow to the knee.

As for anyone who would not want to test against Dredge then they really aren't trying to better their game by skipping out on this. Dredge is a very explosive deck that you should ALWAYS be prepared for. My friend plays Omni Sneak and Show in legacy and the match-up so redundant and boring at times. I still play against him to help him better with his sequencing, my sequencing, and just a better understanding of the deck so I can learn when the time comes to beat it.

My recommendation is don't sell yet, take some time away play Legacy a little bit, see how that goes. Revisit vintage at a later time and see how it feels then. Buying back into power is a project, no reason on losing money by doing so.

Man, I want to play a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas deck now. I miss them times.

Congrats!

Hey guys, names John I am from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, user name is TinkerBot. Always down to throw some vintage around hit me up when you wanna play some!

Well it's official, I just bought 99% of the deck just missing 2 JVP's and a Surgical extraction.

@brass-man I appreciate this post a lot. This does shed some light on stuff to be aware of. Right now I am just hoping the Painter and Grindstone interaction works without any issues. Also, looking to build grixis delver. The main reason I am moving to MTGO is because of work. It leaves me little time to enjoy my hobby anymore(Adulting is FUN!Sarcasm off). I do like that most vintage friends I know are already on here and it allows me to play test more.

@the_gremlin_lord Yea bud, I just listed a bunch of paper cards on the facebook groups trying to move em so I dont put a dent in the bank account and hear about it from the lady.
