Would you be so kind as to enlighten us as to what you already have then?
Imperial Seal is for card quality, not advantage. It says "Win the game next turn."

I play Imperial Seal in my UB Tezz and I like it just fine. I have yet to try Transmute Artifact though. Trinket Mage would not fit my gameplan too well. I usually combo out with a Tinker + Inkwell Leviathan or Time Vault infinite turn no later than turn 3.

Does each copy of Chain of Vapor produce an extra storm count?

Precisely.


The Wastelands are generally a help most of the time, or so it seems. With the maindeck Crucible it makes for even more fun.

Yes, what forum does it belong in? This was not a tournament game.

Okay, so I was playing one match this morning before having to go to work. I was playing my Tezzeret deck and my opponent was on Welder Stax. Here is the list I was running:

4x Underground Sea
3x Polluted Delta
2x Flooded Strand
2x Island
4x Wasteland
1x Strip Mine
1x Tolarian Academy
1x Academy Ruins
1x Seat of the Synod

2x Tezzeret the Seeker
1x Inkwell Leviathan

3x Duress
1x Merchant Scroll
1x Vampiric Tutor
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Mana Crypt
1x Mana Vault
1x Mystical Tutor
1x Brainstorm
1x Ponder
1x Yawgmoth's Will
1x Sol Ring
1x Tinker
1x Ancestral Recall
1x Time Vault
1x Voltaic Key
4x Force of Will
3x Mana Drain
1x Crucible of Worlds
1x Black Lotus
1x Time Walk
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Pearl
1x Mox Ruby
1x Mox Sapphire
1x Imperial Seal
4x Thirst for Knowledge
1x Hurkyl's Recall

Game 1 started out with me being mana screwed. We went about 20 rounds with him attacking me with a Goblin Welder to death. He had a strip lock, stax and double thorn on the table.

Game 2, we both got mana screwed. I eventually drew into some lands and pulled off a Tezzeret, searching for a Time Vault. He conceded the game after he drew.

Game 3 was much more exciting. He powers out a Sundering Titan with a Lotus, Sol Ring and Tinker. I thought for sure I had lost the match already. I drew into a land and pass the turn, he swings for 7 and wastes my land. I drew into a Mystical Tutor, played my land and tutored for a Tinker of my own after he swung for 7 again. My life is at 4 at this point and he's still at 19. On my turn I tinker out an Inkwell Leviathan and we go into stand-off mode. This continued for about 6 turns, him using a Bazaar the whole time, trying to shape his hand. Eventually he draws a Demonic Tutor and goes for a Crucible of Worlds. In response to his Crucible I play an Ancestral Recall and draw into a Hurkyl's Recall. He casts the Crucible but had already played a land for the turn so he passed the turn. On my turn I Hurkyl's Recall him and swing for 7, knocking him down to 11. He has at this point, a Bazaar in play along with two City of Brass. He passes the turn, and I swing for 7 two more times, taking the match and left at 2 life.

Sorry for the name change, it reflects my current handle that I use on the other forums and on magic-league.

Oneonta is the premiere store for Legacy but the players are either 1) not willing to play Vintage due to rankings/ratings or 2) scared of the format. Also, there is no interstate access to Oneonta and this makes the drive a minimum of 45 minutes no matter what direction you come from.

We have tried to hold vintage events at this store, 10-proxy, 9-proxy, unsanctioned and sanctioned. I am a TO for the area and used to run some of the legacy events here and none of my players wanted vintage tournaments. Currently, in the past 2 years, I have only met 3 other vintage players in the area that have any decks worth playing against (hi Brandon, Levi and Jamie).

With this said, are there any ideas people might have as to how I can get more people interested in vintage and playing the format in tournaments in the area?

Hi, first I would like to say, I am from the USA, Alabama to be exact. I have been playing magic since 1993 and been playing Vintage off and on since the creation of types back during Mirage block iirc. I have always been a fan of combo decks and blue control decks. My current favorites are Gro/GAT and Keeper/Tezz/Weismann.

We do not have a great following here for Vintage in Birmingham, the closest place for me to play is Alpharetta, GA. So for the most part I must play online using MWS and magic-league. I currently idle and sometimes comment/question in #themanadrain on efnet and am active in #magic-league on solidirc.

I am also an accomplished C programmer looking for ideas on a new project. I am not interested in coding a new MWS/Apprentice.
