Can you actually see the average somewhere? I wonder what that would be...

I even think that is long... go figure.

If I can win with it, it must be awesome: http://www.morphling.de/top8decks.php?id=230

After not playing T1 for over a year, this looks like a fun and strong deck to play in the upcoming weekend for me. Thanks for sharing!

Frakkin awesome!

I stopped watching when season 3 ended, it's almost time for season 4!!! I don't see the show on Sci Fi, when do they run it?

www.eztv.nl :p
Ofcourse, there is some uncertainty I guess with the current WGA strike going on.

Lotushead: before I click those links, I assume there are spoilers there?

Nice, I actually just started watching it on DVD. I haven't seen a whole lot yet, but so far, it seems like a really cool show, much darker then your general space-based sci-fi show. On a sidenote: Season 4 will be the last right?

"How do you actually spell your name, anyway?"

"M A R Y, why?"

well, maybe it's not the worst...

Interesting article, well written. I don't play as much vintage anymore as I used to, but I like the threshold deck, and will certainly try it out Smile

@Steve: I just realised I'm missing a poll option: What about Library of Alexandria?

To answer the question originally asked
1. Ban Will
2. Restrict Drain
3. Restrict Bazaar
4. Restrict Workshop
5. Restrict Oath (Oath would probably be insane with the above choices)

Personally, I see nothing wrong with the format right now.

Will vs Anti-Will is nothing wrong? W/e makes you happy Surprised

To adress your restriction choices: Where would a restriction schedule like that leave something like Dark Ritual, Goblin Welder, Intuition and Grim Tutor?

without looking beyond the opening post, THE way to fix it is: Ban Yawgs Will and Tinker (aka: shut off lucksack wins) - And then see what's a problem.

So all of those were restricted at the same time? That's totally mind-boggling..

A little off-topic, but some small sidenote is needed here: They restricted all those cards because they were in the one deck that everybody was playing, so just to be sure, they restricted pretty much everything they could!

Right now, Key would be fine, and Mind twist isn't a problem card at all. I'm not convinced Dream Halls should come off, it's probably best to just let it be. Black Vise might be interesting, I'm not sure.

Also, I need ideas for my merc helm. I'm thinking about CoA with two facets, but that will be hard to put together and may not be worth it.

Eth Andys. Since you want to use infinity (btw, go lightning, not fire), your merc is going to need 200str. He won't have that on his own until lvl93. (IIRC).
On a sidenote: I started playing again a few weeks ago (like 3) with some friends, and since it is really easy to get all the nuts stuff, I'm pretty much back up to full strenght. I'm on Europe realm this time around though.

Just because they play Vintage, doesn't mean they care about vintage... Wink

What plays other than the all-ins described above are you considering?

Nice reports, congrats on the Mox.

Why could you not watch the other T8 matches? You were not allowed to get any hints or whatever? Why not just hand out decklists ^^

Since I'm travelling to Paris for worlds that day, I won't be attending, but I highly recommend Mol's T1 tournaments for anyone who is able to make it!

To answer your main question: it depends on what you want it to do. The only way that it'll work if if you drain just about anything given the opportunity, making it a blue ritual. Since I started playing some T1 again with the Drain-TPS deck, it's funny how it's the worst card in the entire deck, but is overall just a tad stronger than Duress, since you are guaranteed to at least hit something, and then on the back of that win during your own turn.

I almost can't tell you how cool I think it is that you made the finals with Pox. This is an almost 1 on 1 copy of the Pox build I played in Vintage several hundred years ago (except, ofcourse, for the smallpox, and the mana base, which included lotus/jet and no cabal pit).

That's it. I'm playing Legcay from now on Smile

Should suit you better, since you didn't bother going to tournaments anyway, and there are next to no legacy tournaments to go to :p

Congrats to Hugo and Rudie, and the other T8'ers. Well done!

As a side note, it also has Canadian teams, so it's not just a national championship.

Do they ever win?

Daylight savings = Coffee savings. I drank at least a cup less, maybe even two!

I hope Bram decided to wake up for this!

No, he did not. If anyone is surprised, they do not know him as well as they think they do :p

At least this time, I did manage to not forget to give him back the cards I loaned for GP Lille last year Smile

I assume so, and it isn't finished yet.

I was playing badly, so I stopped.

As soon as I see any info, I'll post it here. If I don't see it in the coming week, I'll call some people and harass them about it for you Smile

Attendance = 132 players.

Not yet. I haven't found a foil Dromar.

When you were mailing Womprax, he wasn't mailing you. Niv-Mizzet is a total bomb! He eats Dromar for lunch yo!

Welcome back sir!

yes, I will be there.

I just saw this was not on here. I think most dutch players know about it, but I want to at least give a heads up to the germans and belgian people (or maybe the french?) who think this is worthwhile enough to come, to make it as succesful as last year Open Dutch Vintage Champs (190 people, the max).

Dragonstorm!

At least, that is what my playing on the Modo TS beta says.

For T1 one, this card sucks. It's awful if not in your opening hand, and even if it is, it's too slow.
