http://t.co/cPScODxZmI (The link goes to the Card Advantage page of MtG Cast; I had to copy it out of Twitter.)

I listened to this last night and though it was interesting. As a Vintage player, I thought some of their assessments of cards were pretty funny (Snapcaster Mage and Thragtusk are "broken"), but it actually might be a reason that players from younger, smaller formats don't get into Vintage. If you come from Standard where things like Jace T. Mindsculptor gets banned and Snapcaster Mage is a format dominating card, would you be afraid to try Vintage where those cards are commonly played, along with so many other ridiculous things? I've always felt that Vintage is pretty capable of handling anything that crops up. Anything powerful has had numerous answers and workarounds printed already, and the truly "broken" stuff has been restricted. Players just need to find the right strategy or combination of hate cards, right?

Anyway, I thought this was worth a listen as insight into the minds of players of other formats.

(Please don't talk about "broken" being a negative term that shouldn't be used. It's MtG jargon and has been for long enough that it has meaning in context, which they talk about.)
