When this deck wins, it has like a milion cards in hand. Once you get Jori online she really pulls you ahead, slowly but surely. I found her excellent against slow blue decks,

This was my experience last Sunday in a match piloting Blue Moon, losing to Painter running Jori En.

I mentioned this to Andy, but definitely feel the tournament announcement forum could use some organization. If nothing else, at least a standard format for announcements. State, city, date, etc.

Some of us live in places where we could realistically drive to five different states for a tourney without issue, so being able to see this at a glance would be nice.

Really good idea.

So the dual lands are spiking, but what about moxes? It makes sense that there would be more demand for dual lands initially, but moxes might go under the radar a bit before they get their own big spike.

Yeah, but when a card is already $1,000.00 or close to it, one has to imagine that the number of players who can afford to panic-buy are more limited. 

Also it seems the spike would be much more Legacy-related than Vintage?

One thing that I realized I messed up on in the article that nobody has pointed out yet, is the difference between Workshops Prison and Workshops aggro. I did not know that Martello shops and various Forgemaster lists are grouped under the aggro heading, and decks like Espresso Stax are considered to be Prison decks.
 

Not a big deal, Shops have a continuum all the way from the Trogdon aggro brews to the less aggro Stax and MUD lists. You mention Roland Chang, he has an interesting Dack Stax list from the recent Grand Prix Atlantic City http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=47710.0

Mark me down for at least one. You've got a beautiful style to your artwork: bold, whimsical yet evocative. I really like that funky looking tree Very Happy

Congrats on your run and sharing bits of the experience! It was a good read.
21  Vintage Community Discussion / General Community Discussion / Re: VINTAGE on Magic Online is announced!!! on: October 22, 2013, 02:13:45 am
Regarding MODO cards like Mishra's Workshop and Underground Sea: Are they not going to be "reprinted" from time to time? I'm not familiar with how Magic Online releases cards. Is it similar to paper Magic in that certain sets such as Masters Editions are available only for a limited time?

Hi, my name is Fen. I've been playing since Revised edition, mostly casual and limited. Until recently I strongly resisted the idea of playing Type I/Vintage, but playing in a local tournament this past March was one of the best gaming experiences I've had. So I'm making the commitment to power up.
