I live outside of the US, but I would like to buy one, if possible.

I voted no. I can -technically- play Shops using just Black Lotus, Mox Ruby, Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, and Mana Vault, but it just isn't the same.

Additionally, Vintage staples here in the Philippines are exorbitantly expensive nowadays:

A Mishra's Workshop costs around PHP 40K each (bought mine when they were still 40K PHP a set)
A Bazaar of Baghdad costs around PHP 25K each
Moxen could cost anywhere between PHP 30K - 60K
Tabernacles cost around PHP 30K each
And... a Black Lotus is about the price of a slightly used car (or two) here also.

reminds me of this guy here:

Thanks. It was a play I saw earlier at a Legacy tournament I joined. I knew the Ad Nauseam player should've won -- his opponent had (I think) 1 card in hand, while the Ad Nauseam player had a couple of LED's and some untapped lands in play, as well as a ton of spells in the yard.

What happens when you cast a spell using it's flashback cost (i.e. Past in Flames) and your opponent responds to it by playing Venser, Shaper Savant, targeting it? Does it go back to your hand, or is it exiled?

One of the greatest artists in MtG history has passed away today, 4/20/13. RIP.

Have you considered Grand Abolisher?

I might get it, but I'll have to wait for the reviews to come in first.

This may find a home in Shop Prison. Getting me a set of these when it comes out.

Count me in, Nick.

Quick question -- does this stop Bridge from Below from producing tokens as well?

You still can't afford to run fewer Dredge hate cards -- Dredge still can explode postboarding if you're ill-equipped to deal with it.

This card would most likely replace Tormod's Crypt or Relic of Progenitus in the SB slots.

I'm still waiting to for the SEA release. Hopefully it would come soon -- I'm dying to play again.

Quicksilver wins, 2-0. Stay tuned for the report.

I fell asleep earlier on so I wasn't able to play -- could we reschedule this?

I got a chance to play during the weekend beta test, and I must say, I'm hooked. I'm planning to get it once it's released here in the Philippines.

Sith Inquisitor FTFW.

@Troy:

Nick Coss and I haven't started yet.

I get home usually around 10:30 - 10:45AM here, so that's 9:30-9:45PM EST. I'm usually available around 10PM EST onward.

If this is on a weekend, I'd like to join.

Me playing 2-Land Belcher against FCG, around 3 years ago:

Game 3 - Opponent goes first, plays a Lackey then passes the turn. I go: Land Grant, looking for and playing Bayou, Dark Rit, LED, Demonic Tutor, sacrificing LED in response, then tutor for YWill, replaying everything then tutoring Tendrils. GG.


Multiplayer Commander, around last year (I think):

I Mindslaver my opponent, making him attack another player, then making him commit suicide by having him play Necropotence and paying all his life.

This card would probably see play in EDH.

Lim-Dul's Vault

Diabolic Vision

Grats, champ!

I'm not really impressed with Bitterblossom. Sure, it provides a 1/1 blocker and can serve as Smokestack fodder, but other than that, the slow life loss, coupled with the fact that the 1/1's are tokens and are vulnerable to Keg @ 0, makes me shy away from it as a viable SB against Stax/MUD. I'd rather use Energy Flux against Stax/MUD.

Also, a Stax/MUD player can play Blasting Station on game 3 (game 2 if you have it MD) -- making your Bitterblossom tokens useless.

I remember playing on a tournament some time ago wherein my opponent had a couple of Bitterblossoms in play, while I had an Ensnaring Bridge and a Grafted Skullcap in play (among other lock pieces). I just went draw/go while he slowly died via Bitterblossom.

With the coming of Leyline of Sanctity in M11, and with it having a potential home in Dredge -- see here -- will we be forced to run Relics over Crypts against the Dredge matchup?
