@smmenen said in SMIP Podcast # 86: The 2018 Vintage Year in Review & Moxies Award Show:
I wouldn't give a best picture oscar based upon a 10 minute supporting actor performance.
*laughs in Hannibal Lecter*
I would consider a sideboard card for card of the year if it changed things significantly enough. That said, I haven't listened to the show yet so we'll see if I change my mind.

After several months of failing to fire, fifteen brave wizards made their way out to Brash Brewing Co to do battle in Magic's greatest format.
Pics:
Vintage is a format of turn one kills... even with aggro decks.
Combat? In my Vintage? It's more likely than you think.

Sometimes there's a man who, well, he's the man for his time 'n place. He fits right in there. And that's Chad, at Brash.

Art. And yes, it does hold a beer.
You'd probably be better off going to a forum that isn't Vintage-centric for that information. Probably try the Reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/a70upd/rna_lavinia_azorius_renegade/
@moorebrother1 said in Paradoxical Outcome - Time Vault or no Time Vault?:
Playing the deck without Time Vault means you must win with Mentor or Tendrils.
Isn't this the case anyway? Vaultkey isn't a kill, especially on Magic online, where it can be a suicide.
I don't really have strong feelings on whether or not to play Time Vault. However, I do really like playing Voltaic Key. Being able to untap your Mana Vault, ramping by multiple-tapping Sol Ring, Vault, and Crypt are all quite nice. Turning colorless into colored by untapping Mox Opal has saved me multiple times. And if you're going to play Voltaic Key, I think you might as well play Time Vault.
My favorite part of this is that I top 4'd both times I played 2CM so Stu felt the need to count 2CM separate from Misc Combo
Written by @Stuart :
Over the course of our 2018 season, we’ve posted every decklist after each event. In addition, I’ve been logging the decks in a spreadsheet, which I’ve occasionally shared chunks of to give players an idea of what the meta looks like. Now that the season’s finished, I wanted to share a more thorough analysis of what decks got played, and how they performed.
Before we go any further, I should clarify: I am not a statistician! While everything I’ve laid out here is pretty basic, readers still might consider taking any of my analysis or conclusions with a grain of salt. If you’re a skeptic, however, the basic breakdown of percentages is absolutely accurate, so you can at least use what I’ve presented to draw your own conclusions.
I hope that our players find some value in what I’ve put together, and that it informs their choices this coming season. After a year of running events, I feel that the Austin Vintage scene has grown more sophisticated and more competitive. Given that increase in skill and familiarity with the format, I expect that the players who will perform best in the 2019 season are those who can interpret the field and prepare for it. Hopefully, these numbers help them do just that.
@stormanimagus Yep. Power and toughness is what determines how powerful a card is. Time to unrestrict every non-creature because they're not powerful.
@nba84 said in Sideboard?:
Hello all,
simply put what are your sideboard strategies?
Try to shore up my weaknesses in certain matchups while minimizing impact on my game plan.
Find a way to fit a strange card into my 75 so that it'll be listed as a card played in Vintage.

You guys forget that Chess only has 1 move and 1 step per turn. It's way easier to deal with punching a button for the clock in Chess than it is in Magic and its 907 priority checks every turn.
QFT, imagine Paradoxical going off and not begin able to F6!
On Friday, I didn't realize the proper way to stack my Mentor triggers and automatically yield to them and I ended up taking a turn that took several minutes to complete, just from spending dozens of seconds at a time placing triggers onto the stack.
