So you just scoop to Dredge than? Not a good idea. I think that the best hate for Dredge is Leyline Of The Void followed by Jailer, but, in THIS deck the bog is very good because you can play it under Standstill without breaking the Standstill. Trust me, you NEED  lot of effective hate vs. Dredge because your clock is sooo slow. I suppose I could make room for black bombs like DT, Vamp and Will, but I really don't see those as belonging in this deck. Perhaps the REBs in the SB could be changed over to Duress or Thoughtseize?

I clean mine by holding a lighter up to the face of the card. The oil from your hands burns at a much lower temperature than the cardboard, so it's completely safe.

Good luck!

Can you look at your opponent's sideboard and face down cards?

He also blocks Inky all day long, if it comes to that.

was it Fact or Fiction?
Also why the Virtue's ruin in the SB? seems perish would make more sense..I actually have a perish in my SB for noble fish or anything with Goyf or Trygon.
..any thoughts?...

611.2b Some continuous effects generated by the resolution of a spell or ability have durations worded "for as long as . . . ." If the "for as long as" duration never starts, or it ends before the moment the effect would first be applied, the effect does nothing. It doesn't start and immediately stop again, and it doesn't last forever.

I wish I could say where I heard it, who the parties to the conversation were, and exactly what the quote was, but it goes something like this: Evan Erwin asks Pat Chapin how much life loss would make Ancestral Recall an acceptable card to print.  Pat Chapin thinks for a minute, and then says "20 life, and it would still be a very good card in many formats."

(I'm gonna ask my friend Adam if he knows where that's from, cause I'm pretty sure he told me that story, although I'm not positive.)

Anyway, I think the key to making some kind of workable Contract like card is that the cost should be somehow outside the game, in the same way that ante is effectively outside the course of normal gameplay.

I am smoker, and i drink coffee...

With my intake of caffeine and nicotine, why should i worry about the other million things that could kill me?

On top of all that i have other health concerns that are way more serious then anything i am likely to eat.

wouldnt buried alive work as well?

silly casual note, guile is funny with blood funnel. 

I am rebuilding my stax/mud list and have long been a fan of anything workshop related. I was wondering this mainly for the mirror. Has anyone tested "Quest for the Nihil Stone" as hate against decks that rely on Bazaar for draw? I'm in Madison, WI which is garbage for Vintage so all of my testing has been goldfishing. It might strong in Ichorid, which may not need the help, but I've been thinking of putting it in as a sb card for my b/r stacks list. I don't know if it's strong than Bitterblossom, but it's cheaper and doesn't have the life loss. It doesn't generate chumps, but five is a heavy hit. My limited ability to test just doesnt tell me if bazaar based decks are at zero cards enough in upkeep to make it worth it. Just chiming in, let me know if I am way off here.
thanks

Not doubting the ruling, but could you show where you found this?  It's helpful to reference when people try and say "nuh uhhh!"

When a rule or effect allows or directs something to happen, and another effect states that it can't happen, the "can't" effect takes precedence.
Example: If one effect reads "You may play an additional land this turn" and another reads "You can't play land cards this turn," the effect that precludes you from playing lands wins.

Does this enable 2-fisted testing when not online? That is a feature I have been using MWS on my MacBook for while traveling, and would like to try Cockatrice if it also has this feature.

Thanks.

At the beginning of each player’s upkeep, that player chooses target player who controls more creatures than he or she does and is his or her opponent. The first player may reveal cards from the top of his or her library until he or she reveals a creature card. If he or she does, that player puts that card onto the battlefield and all other cards revealed this way into his or her graveyard.

Quoted from the Cockatrice website:

• First of all, I would like to welcome Marius van Zundert to our development team. Marius has already contributed a lot of useful ideas, and I hope there'll be many more in the future.
• This website is going to undergo some changes to make it more easily extensible and to provide a better communication platform for Cockatrice users. You may have noticed that the first change has already been made, namely the transition of the message board to a more advanced one. We are still working on further improving the integration of the board software into the rest of the website.
• There is a new Cockatrice version on the download page. This version breaks protocol compatibility, so all users have to upgrade. There is now an installer for Windows and also a DMG image for Mac. It may be entirely possible that those will not work like they should, so I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences.
  This update features, among others, the following changes:
  
  • counter for cards in hand
  • multiple colored counters on cards instead of just one white one
  • card properties can be set (p/t, annotation etc.)
  • nicer looking active player display
  • deck list can be loaded from and save to the system clipboard
  • optional horizontal display of hand
  • phase buttons are accessible via F5...F10 (pressing the same button again untaps everything / draws a card when in untap step / draw step)
  Have fun!

This is clearly better than Iona, Once this hits play your opponent scoops, think about it, what can likely stop this card in vintage:

STP or any spot removal: Stopped by Protection to Colored Spells
Diabloic Edict: Gets returned to the deck and would be oathed up again
Blocked by Vampire Nighthawk (or any card with deathtouch): Possible, unless you can sacrifce 6 permanents and still keep this alive afterwards, which is highly unlikely in vintage, and even if you get to kill this card, your opponent just Oath's it again.
Sower of Temptation: Possible choice to stop this, but highly unlikely since the opponent would most likely pack counters or Stifle
Maze of Ith: Possible, but currently not used in vintage

I have exhausted my options for stopping this and have no possible answer to it unless ther would be one in RoE.

Edit: Although I am not that familiar with other answers in Vintage, maybe you can name a few so that I can get a playset of those
