Does it strike any of the older members...

[Shock Wave]

I also remember my first Tournament of Champions, and the deck I played, which included Thrashing Wumpus. And I made it to like round 4!

I played PardicMiner.dec and I had a winning record. 

[Milton]

Man.   I remember soooo much.  I've got to be well past the 10 year mark as a player.

I remember when BD and Neutral Ground were the only things keeping the format alive. 

I remember when the best Type I players were the ones to pimp out Keeper, then hold on to it for years without any major changes.

I remember the endless arguments about single card choices in Keeper.

I remember when Type II had a restricted list.

Hell, I remember my first tournament when a guy played a Chaos Orb and killed my Sengir Vampire.

I remember when I bought my first set of dual lands.  4 badlands.  $16 for the set.

I remember when foils came out and everyone had a fit.

I remember some people getting upset when Berzerk was unrestricted.  Oh, the humanity!

I remember the Doomsday stuff, but I can't remember if I was fooled by it (so I probabally was).

I remember when Azhrei would get pissed off at people who would misspell his name!  And when his semi-monthly articles on Star City were called "Type I Gold".

I remember when it all changed:  When Chapin won the big Type I tournament at Gen Con with Gro.  That signaled an end to the era of Keeper dominance.  Before that, Keeper was king.  Sure, Necro had its day, then it was restricted.  The High Tide deck had its day, then was busted up by restriction.  Mono Blue had its day, then Fact was restricted (I remember people seriously talking about restricting Back to Basics too!).  Through it all, Keeper was constant.  After Chapin, though, it all changed. 

[forests failed you]

I remember when I traded four Royal Assassins, four Shivan Dragons, and four Howling Mines, \for my first Mox; an Emerald.  This happened just before The Dark was released.

This isn't quite as "back in the day", but did this post make anyone else feel old?

[Saucemaster]

OMG yes, it makes me feel ancient.  Parfait was the first Vintage deck I ever built, and actually playing it in a tournament spurred my determination to find a few Moxen as soon as possible.

[Godder]

I was brought to Beyond Dominia by Rakso's articles on SCG, but it was Raph Caron's SCG article on Parfait that spurred me (and later my team) to actually build and play Vintage decks - I figured if mono-W was playable, the format was worth continuing with, and they figured if mono-W was playable, anything was .

[Liam-K]

I remember opening my first saga pack, a 75 card one.  It had academy and morphling.  I don't remember any of the packs before that, though I know I bought a lot of tempest.

I remember soothsaying vs sylvan being considered a matter worth discussing.  And soothsaying coming out on top.

lol one basic island (pre fetchland) being considered defense against wastes

I remember not going to BD for about a month, and coming back in the middle of Legend bitching about people not calling BBS Legend Blue.  He seemed like the biggest ever tool.  You'd have thought the guy invented counterspell.  Not to mention Negator.

I remember when draw-go was a deck.

I remember Psycho Cid.  What a character.  Tell him you were building a deck with Tobias Adrion and watch the fireworks.

[Machinus]

Parfait is fun; Land Tax is a good card. The problem was always with all those Plains.

If you didn't own power, suicide black was The deck to play for the people I knew. If you had a good grasp of tempo, beating Keeper was easy. FCG is the closest thing left today, and that was basically considered a fluke at SCG. Blah blah blah aggro is dead.

Anyone else miss Academy decks? Those were my favorite. It was like a 5 card combo to go off.

[nataz]

I remember when I thought Magic was a game for kiddies

[Dozer]

This isn't quite as "back in the day", but did this post make anyone else feel old?

I was around when Parfait made the leap to Cherry... but stopped following Parfait's development after the first lists with Blood Moon in it came out. Guess I'm just too accustomed looking at modern Vintage lists to recognize old school except for stuff like OSE, Franchise and TnT.

I once wrote a primer on how parfait should be played. Wow! It even got my vintage adeptness

[Dozer]

Hell yeah, I signed one of your Pegasus tokens! Ah, sweet smell of history...

The funny thing is, I misplaced most of those, and can't find them anymore ^^

Now-a-days we have Tendrils decks, which are like a 60 card combo

That said, I miss them and I don't. They were fun to play, but playing goldfish matches isn't exactly my idea of fun. The Academy mirror was insanely stupid: try to combo off and win, or fail and get crushed. Yay for running 4 FoW AND 4 Drains in a pure combo deck though, that was just possible

Oh yeah!  K-Run used to get people to send him pegasi on his birthday back at BD.  I sent him a pegasus stampede, altered with gold pen, in an old cd case because it was the nearest non-bendy thing to put it in.

That was a while ago wow.

I still talk to Cid on occasion.  It'd actually be kinda interesting to get a hold of the Ophidians I got signed for him at Gencon 03.  Man, that was a fun year.

[Often Lost]

Type my name into google and the first thing to come up is a Rakso article 

[Joel Rojo]

I still fling e-mails with Cid (dont be jealous OftenLost, I saved some sugar for you baby, you know), I live in fucking Mexico and  actually consider him a true, dear friend. I'll tell him to take a look around.

Anyway, I've been playing long enough to consider Mercadian Masques to be a new block, in all seriousness, and, fuck it, STEPHEN MENEDIAN, YOU DID WRITE THAT ESSAY, I totally remember reading it on BD. Sometimes you were considered a bit of a troll, and it took you years to earn the position you hold now. I completely respect you, and I did enjoy talking to you on IRC back then, but shit, you were annoying sometimes.

Also, you went apeshit everytime we would call you semen man, which derived from the tune Cid would sing whenever you logged on IRC:

Semen man, semen man
does whatever a semen can

Etc, I dont remember the rest, but it obviously comes from the old spider-man cartoon from like the 60's.

I also remember that old "war" with the ignorant bastards from Phyrexia.com... Their section on the story of the game was pretty good actually, but their community was the worse.

I remember AxeMurdr logging on #BDchat totally wasted drunk, and saying something about his "huefr". This totally stuck.

I remember bugging spin13 everytime he logged on with the same old "see spin spin, see eric spin, see eric eric" thing.

I remember the huge flame wars regarding the "elitism" thing. As I said a while ago in other topic, Darren would go mad because he said elitism wasn't the correct term to discuss the issue.

I remember trying to get on the Beyond Dominia boards and seeing a white screen, and this time it didn't go away, Beyond Dominia was gone for good. This was _very_ sad.

I remember rakso "1984ing" a lot, which led to another series of flame wars.

I remember the TOCs. I remember I organized one, probably one of the 2 last ones, and thats where both GroAtog and Hulk first appeared. Everyone was shocked to see two Tog decks in the tournament. This also seems very, very recent.

I remember a lot of things, it was so awesome, I have mixed feelings, heh.

[Cividel]

I'm still remembering hating newnet for splits, and the debate about moving to efnet because of a lack of channel services.
Also? Team Midmorning *laughs*

[Joel Rojo]

Team Midmorning, CVDelly? Team MIME, bitch! I'll brick your tea-loving ass into the past so you can refresh your memory .

<3.

[Cividel]

Team MM was before Shadow even left Beyond Dominia -- there was a batch of us that always seemed to be around, the name was coined when someone asked the channel "Do any of you people ever bother to sleep?" and Shadow (I think) quipped, "Nah, we just make do with a mid morning nap."
