i'm putting together a type 4 stack for the first time, and have a few questions for those more experienced since i haven't seen it in action all that much.  the main things i'm debating about including are instants with buyback (allay, blast from the past, forbid, etc) and things with non-tapping activated abilities (like mistmeadow witch, azorius guildmage, masticores, etc).  is there any consensus on whether or not to include these, or whether or not to errata the abilities to limit their scope in a given turn?  i could just run them and find out, but that will take a while so i figured i'd ask first.

looking to find vintage players without having to drive to OC/LA.

hi, i'm jake.  i originally started playing mtg right after arabian nights came out, and then stopped around '97.  i've picked it up again a few times and a friend of mine recently got me interested again.  i've always preferred playing t1 since it doesn't change as quickly and doesn't require buying tons of new cards a few times a year.  i'm in san diego so if you or somebody you know plays around here (i searched through the board history and didn't find anything useful) let me know as i'd like to do some non-internet playing sometime.
