1  Vintage Community Discussion / General Community Discussion / Re: Story time - The quest for the Black Lotus on: March 25, 2013, 05:44:50 am
I started playing for real at Zendikar, i played mercadian when i was young but i was poor so i can't afford cards, Moxen was at 125$ and was like a dream of child at that period.
I directly follow the vintage scene and see videos, i saw that moxen and the BLACK LOTUS, i will make me happy and own this a day.

In 2012, we spoke about that with my wife, we just got a child a year ago so the money started to be ok (nothing very expensive to buy in emergency), and i decide to buy pieces of history month by month, 300$ each.
5 moxen, ancestral recall, time walk, time vault, and finally for the 3 last month of the year : Black lotus.

A unlimited, played, at 600$.

Sometimes I look at it and think about what that cards means, sometimes i just smash it and put it in graveyard like a lotus petal ! Haha Smile

The problem is : when you have a full unlimited P9, assuming time vault is the new 9th piece. You want to upgrade it into black board Smile

Welcome back to You Make the Card, where you, the Magic-playing community, get to collectively design a Magic card. We can now announce that the card we will be making is...

Card Type Run Off
Enchantment   38936   51.3%
Land                   36954   48.7%
Total                   75890   100.0%

While there was an initial flurry of tweets and blog posts discussing the epic battle between enchantments and lands, more involved works soon followed. Inkwell Looter made a graphic guide to the options involved. There was no attempt at impartiality.

There was also some premature, if prophetic, disappointment. Kevin Cron, in the So Many Insane Plays podcast, said, “I want a shirt that says: ‘Don’t blame me. I voted for land.’“

The choice of color will impact what kind of rules text our enchantment can have, so it’s important to choose carefully.

White
Blue
Black
Red
Green
For that reason, this is one of a handful of votes where... we aren’t going to let you vote yet! We want you as a community to really discuss and talk about the options before we let you all mash the vote buttons.

Out of Magic :Iceland.
The no man's land.

I have a blast to trip around this island !
In one week, with a car rent and some Ticket "Bed and breakfast" (you sleep at farmer's house along the road) you make all the things Smile
Geyser, golden fall, Iceberg, big natural parc, Blue Lagoon, Volcano, one day at Reykjavic, boat for whale - Puffin's island.

Just FYI: I am not asking of people will play.  I am asking what a reasonable entry fee to a top deck is.

Sorry, with this in mind, 200 for a U-deck and the half for a non-U deck is the limit.

Hello everyone !

I'm Frankie from France.
Here is my little magic story, that wil make you feel old, sorry about that !
I played Magic when i was a kid at Mercadia/Invasion blocks and stop because of money issues.
I come back in Zendikar and start enjoy the game again !
I follow T2 and then Jace appears, all people speak about him even for Vintage. Oh wait, what is Vintage ? I find Mana infinito video and start to love this format direct but God! what prices...
A year after i have spend like the price of 2 mox in T2 and decide to stop for Eternal format. I read all i can about that, many archive from SCG, follow mana infinito metagame evolve, for sure buy some really great articles as Gush 1&2, Burning Long...
From brainstorm to forces, fetch to dual, mox to trall... Here i am !
I enjoy the french community from Solomoxen and made some tournies.
I now own all cards i need to enjoy the format and will for sure make all tournament available here.

See you on differents threads !
