    Re: How to build and buy into Vintage

    Depends on how established your meta is. Fish typically requires Lotus, on-color Moxen at minimum, Ancestral, and Time Walk. If your meta permits proxies and you intend to buy the appropriate Power...
  2. Re: Loyal Retainers Reprint in Commander's Arsenal

    Is Retainers even played anymore since WotC murdered Survival?
  3. Re: Altering Cards - Devaluing, the new pimp or a rip-off from artists?

    He got it wrong. AlteredPrints does indeed use real legit cards. Their "alteration" is a sticker that goes over top of the card that replaces the art and border with a full frame picture, with cut...
  4. Re: Altering Cards - Devaluing, the new pimp or a rip-off from artists?

    The only one of their "alterations" I like is the Liliana of the Veil, where they took Argyle's own extended and more detailed artwork for the card (with his permission I assume, since Argyle was...
  5. Re: Altering Cards - Devaluing, the new pimp or a rip-off from artists?

    The thing with getting a third party alteration is to scout the work before you commission them. Some are very well known and can be trusted to do awesome work. Others (like the artist who did my...

    This is my set of Power. I had them altered because A) I don't plan on getting rid of my Power again, B) this makes my Power...

    Re: The Long Term future of this format...

    And that right there would be the final straw for me. I don't have many altered cards, but what I do have is rather (in)famous in the game world now. My fame (or infamy) has spread far and wide, and...

    Re: How to build and buy into Vintage

    Something that aahz left out (and I didn't realize for myself until recently) is that 3/4s of established Vintage playable cards (based on Menendian's lists he does three times a year) cost less than...

    Re: How to build and buy into Vintage

    It would function "acceptably." It will, obviously, lose some acceleration - which will hurt it to a degree. But if you are not playing in a heavily Powered area and can take time to acquire the last...

    Re: How to build and buy into Vintage

    I would say it wouldn't work without the Power. You're cutting 13 cards of the 60 by dropping the Power, Library, and Drains. Most of that is acceleration that Control decks desperately need in...

    Re: How to build and buy into Vintage

    Most of the mono-colored or two-colored aggro strategies that involve Grafdigger's Cage and Null Rod/Stony Silence typically run with only on-color Mox(en) and a Lotus. So they are, pretty much,...

    Re: Esper Bomberman

    Seems like it would be better to win on the spot with Pyrite Spellbomb, unless you're really worried about Leyline of Sanctity or Witchbane Orb. Vault/Key and either Planeswalker are fine win...

    I avoided truncating any data from the list, despite some of the questionable inclusions of various MUD decks that got Top 8s. And I know about Menendian's list, and have an agreement with him at the...

    Re: [Shop] The MUD Box

    Only data I have access to is the deck lists from TCDecks. If I remember correctly, the Wellsprings and Hex Parasites were both played in only a handful of the 139 decks I used to make this list. The...

    In honor of our newest Vintage forum, I have constructed this following post after many hours of work.

    As we know, MUD is typically one of the top performing decks in the format. However, MUD...

    All the budget aggro decks wit 3-4 Grafdigger's Cage and 3-4 Stony Silence/Null Rod beg to differ with you both.

    Poll: Re: Would you actually post in a Vintage subforum?

    The problem is that there are quite a few "tuned" Vintage Aggro lists that require only minimum Power (typically a Lotus and on-color Mox[en]). Some of them look quite fun, like the mono-white one...

    The only way to get guaranteed legit Power off of eBay is to pay through the nose to well known dealers like Dan Bock and ABU. Honestly...I'd rather just travel to the nearest GP and look through the...
