this is what i would play as of innistrad 4 Wasteland 3 Dark Depths 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 1 Strip Mine 11 Swamp 4 Dark Confidant 4 Vampire Hexmage 1 Necropotence 4 Dark Ritual 4 Leyline of the Void 4 Duress 4 Thoughtseize 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Imperial Seal 1 Demonic Consultation 1 Null Rod 1 Diabolic Edict 2 Liliana of the Veil 1 Helm of Obedience 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Lotus Petal 1 Mox Jet 1 Black Lotus 1 Yawgmoth's Will
SB: 2 Jailer 2 null rod 3 Mental Misstep 2 emissary of despair 2 ghost quarter 1 Pithing Needle 1 diabolic edict 1 snuff out 1 mana crypt
Some things I can't take my mind off with Lily, since it seems good in the deck. How about taking advantage of her with cabal therapy and darkblast (if snapcaster mage becomes mainstream) ?? Any thoughts on that?

This unpowered version is more affordable, so it's quite interesting :p -Does rhystic tutor work fine? With so many land destruction, opponent can't always pay 2 to prevent tutoring, but how many times is useless? Well, it is another way to get the crucible/strip mine and lock the opponent...you can always cast it when the opponent is taped out to avoid the 2 mana counter. I haven't tested this..it is a new addition i made-It is ok to have 3 urborg and 2 dark depths? Wouldn't be better to play 2 and 3? or even 2 and 2. For me works well. Don't forget that your wastelands will also produce black mana this way-7 duress/tgz? aren't they dead in the middle game? They might be bad for mid game not always though because in vintage there are many ways to draw many cards, but i would love every game to start with one of these at hand...so no for me they are not many-Is will useful in this deck? It seems that only works fine with rituals in the grave, and only if opponent countered your creatures. I rarely used it tbh, but it was good enough to blow a ratchet and then play it again. It also brings back the combo  -2 Diabolic Edict is the correct number? do you side them out against any pairing? do you feel you want more? would malakir would be better? 2 work for me. Also 2 mana better than 3 (all black as well)Never sided them out so far-playing grim discovery and crucible, wouldn't 3-4 fetchlands be nice? stifle is not really played this days, althought the deck sacrifices lots of lifes and could be a pain, but drawing less lands in the middle game would be great. yes fetches could be nice, I could think adding 2..no more because of bob-have you considered unearth? it's a great way to recover confidant, which is key in this deck. If it's not needed, you can always cycle it for a new card... No I haven't.With 4 of them in the deck I don't think I need to unearth and I can't remember him in graveyard in the games I played in tourneys so far. Possibly a meta option? It is a nice suggestion tho...-when do you side in Ratchet Bomb? Against aggro decks for 1 or 2 and also against enchantments. We can discuss further my answers if u r not satisfied, and find alternatives. I am open for any ideas to improve the deck

I also play an unpowered version. So far this is my list... and I would like you to offer your thoughts/advise. To cut the story short I added power hate removed artifacts and leyline combo and added land destruction, sinkhole and crucible.
Lands: 2 Dark Depths 1 Strip Mine 10 Swamp 3 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 4 Wasteland
Creatures: 4 Vampire Hexmage 4 Dark Confidant
Sorceries/Instants/Artifacts: 4 Dark Ritual 3 Duress 4 Thoughtseize 3 Null Rod 1 Yawgmoth's Will 1 Grim Discovery 1 Necropotence 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Demonic Consultation 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Rhystic Tutor 4 Sinkhole 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Cabal Therapy 1 Darkblast 1 Chalice of the void 1 Sadistic Sacrament 2 Diabolic Edict
Sideboard: 1 Pithing Needle 2 Yixlid Jailer 3 Engineered Plague (meta lots of goblins/elves ->bad matchup) 2 Sadistic Sacrament 2 Ratchet Bomb 4 Leyline of the void 1 Helm Of Obedience
Thanks in advance for any replies!

tbh i didnt wanna play vintage at all, just because I had no power9 and many cards that cost>100$. What intrigued me though is a sanctioned event that the guys organizing it to attract more people will reward the first non powered deck also. It is also very challenging for me, I consider myself a better than average player, so I will give it a try. I seriously consider 4 chalice of the void (for 0), would u recommend that? (would it stop early win for powered decks)?
Again, thanks every1 for the replies.

Then Dark Times is a good choice or Noble Fish. Both decks can be played without power
and with what cards are u gonna to replace the 2-3 p9 cards in those decks? (is chalice of the void a good option? or play more tutors? or add sol ring or mana vault..) any advice?

as I told you I am new player  so yes no workshops no bazaars. I know it will be hard to compete,but i like the challenge. But i have cards like wastelands, strip mine, dark depths, (all type2 cards),force of will, stifle, tutors (except grim) and some duals. And i am willing to buy some more cards, but cant afford a p9.

hello, I was wondering, as a rather new magic player that wants to reach to a pont playing vintage, what deck should i play that does not require p9 and still be competitive? I was thinking dark times deck. Do you have a better suggestion? ..and how could i replace the black lotus and mox jet, what would u replace them with (eg. chalice of the void for 0)?
thanks in advance for any responses
