I have a check coming and feel like getting either an almost  no power U/R delver list, finishing an almost no power standstill or getting a lotus. Could use some input. I only have an ancestral right now. The other option would be merfolk. I have a really unconventional Rogue/ANT Tendrils brew that the lotus would go in.

Other ideas are welcome also.

Thanks,
John

I would go on Lotus.

When i got my power it was;lotus,recall,sapphire,walk and other pieces from that on.

Lotus goes almost any deck and price isn't getting any cheaper Sad.

It's always easier to make 100 $20 purchases than one $2,000 purchase.  I would go with Lotus.

You'll use it in every deck you run, it's a joy to own one and you can pick up the cards you want for the other decks piecemeal. 

Good luck with your hunt.

Lotus. If you plan to play Vintage seriously no other card will get as much value for you. Also, once you chop the head off the snake it gets a lot less scary.

I would go for Recall AND Walk;   You can play sanctioend with them easier than Lotus (UR Decks would rather have those than Lotus, for example)

He already has Recall.

You can play doomsday with recall and lotus. Soly is right about mox and time walk for aggro though.

You can play landstill with Sapphire/Walk/Recall;  also could play Merfolk.   I would highly recommend getting as much pwoer as possible.  This was the order I did it

Recall
Walk
Sapphire
Jet
Emerald + Ruby
Pearl
Lotus
Time Vault
Library of Alexandria
Literally anything else playable worth more than Peasant's Wages that I'd ever play.
