Bazaar of Baghdad – Arabian Nights uncommon. Baghdad is, of course, the central setting for many of the tales of The Arabian Nights. Founded in 762 A.D. by Abu Jafar al-Mansur, the city of Baghdad was originally built on the west bank of the Tigris River and was called Madinat as-Salam (City of Peace).
This card is in Masters Edition 3, available only on Magic Online! From today's card of the day on MTG.com |

Right, it's for Master's Edition 3 (online only). They've got opposing dual lands, mana drain, the abyss, nether void, and some other stuff in there also.

Lavaball Trap
Instant - Trap
If an opponent had two or more lands enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, you may pay rather than pay Lavaball Trap’s casting cost.
Destroy two target lands. Lavaball Trap deals 4 damage to each creature
This really makes me think new fetches are on the way

Day of Judgment -   Sorcery Destroy all creatures. Ok, so I know the idea is that it makes regeneration better. However, has anybody noticed that they seem to be reprinting old cards with "less intense" flavor, perhaps on purpose? Day of Judgment seems to have a less serious tone than Wrath of God. The most glaring example is the switchover from Remove Soul to Essence Scatter. Perhaps this is consistent with the rules change to make the game more acceptable to a younger audience? On that note, it does seem like a funny coincidence that the theme in the new set is vampires, meanwhile junior high schoolers around the country are going ballz crazy over Twilight. |

A possible trap card for Vintage:  A free counter against storm combo that can accidently counter other spells in a counter war or when your opponent is using excessive tutoring/moxing. EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the discussion in the Open Forum. |

You're missing that the card can counter a card with storm. Like, completely counter it and all of its copies.

Couple of 1 drops from Zen:
Vampire Lacerator
B
Creature - Vampire Warrior Common
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life unless an opponent has 10 or less life.
The lacerators cut themselves before each hunt. They must feed before the sun rises or bleed to death.
2/2
Illus. Steve Argyle #115/249
Goblin Guide
R
Creature - Goblin Scout Rare
Haste
Whenever Goblin Guide attacks, defending player reveals the top card of his or her library. If it's a land card, that player puts it into his or her hand.
"I've been all over this world. I even remember some of those places."
2/2
Illus. Warren Mahy

I'm ambivalent.
I think the only formats which give a rip are Extended and Standard. Like, you'll play an amount of them in SoA Standard - a small amount I reckon - and definitely in Extended with their shocklands and shit, but does any format with old duals and old fetches even care about this? Sixteen ways to fetch Mountains is just stupid - even in a three color deck you should only need to find one basic land type to fetch all three colors. Does this open up mana base stability in some way in the Eternal formats? I don't think it does.

If you're splashing enemy colours into your deck (let's face it, they're mostly base blue decks in Vintage), it gives you more options around off-colour basics, which is good against Wasteland. Also, with Duals and almost every good card ever printed, I'd have thought Eternal formats were the obvious place to make these shine. |

Whatever man, the U/R and U/G fetches are going to be easier to get from people than their U/B and U/W counterparts. I'm excited for all the fetches though, to make things easier in casual play and other formats as well.

Basically Zoo decks owned extended last season. 2 weeks ago, zoo was dead because fetches cycling out.. now, ZOO is the deck to beat as always... it really wont affct anything in vintage or legacy but it will hit standard hard. 5cc and 4cc decks are going to stick around easier now. I hate that.

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/274hmmmmmm. Thing you've worked on that you're most proud of:
Here? Um. A certain Banned/Restricted list meeting whose results are presently classified. In general? Selangor State Right to Information Law, the Memphis Pyramid Arena redevelopment, the Chatter of the Squirrel series. What could this be? The MTG Kwizatz Haderach? Or utter disaster? When is next B/R updating?

I'm not sure that it's policy, but the June announcement was on the 19th, as the 20th was a Saturday. This month the 20th is a Sunday, so I am hopeful that the announcement will be made the preceding Friday, the 18th. |

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

the oracle could help elves make a small comeback ncluding top but I doubt that he could fit realistically in any tier 1 deck. he could possibly combo in vintage fastbond crucible type decks.

Even more importantly from today's article was this: The other way we designed trap cards was to look through Magic for things that players have historically disliked that we could use as trap conditions. For example, if your opponent is countering your spells, casting many spells in one turn, or dumping tons of cards in their graveyard to use with other cards, you might very well want to punish them for it. We tried to make cards that had these sorts of trap conditions, actual card effects that felt connected to them, and overall concepts that made enough sense. An anti-Ichorid trap? Here's hoping. |
