http://strategy.channelfireball.com/featured-articles/rule-of-law-haunted-but-encouraged/This is my "report" from GP Columbus. At the end I present what I would have played at GenCon if I didn't cancel my flight out there. I briefly make the case for Vintage, since that can't be done enough.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

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.

You already have a big enough head (although justifiably so) but I'll say this anyway: this is one of the best articles i have read this year.

Chapin's Survival deck is ungodly better than previous builds. *sigh* Now I'll have to actually buy a Loyal Retainers.  Legacy is turning into such a fun format that it's hard to focus on Vintage. |

I thought it was a decent article, and I'm glad you are drawing more attention to vintage. But is it necessary or appropriate to call me out? I saw you called me your 'nemisis' in facebook. Isn't that just silly and childish? I don't understand why you are doing that, and do so again here.

Really Steve, as someone who use to have the Emperor as his avatar I figured you would be comfortable with the role of being vilified. I hope this guy's comments are no different than when when Feinstein use to refer to you as the Dark Lord in his tournament report(s).... BTW, does anyone know what's Feinstein's record vs. Meandeck is up to? |

Just being silly. I've never met you and don't actually harbor any bad feelings towards you, its just low hanging fruit (visible and polarizing personality in the eternal community) as I attempt to add some humor to my eternal articles. Glad you found the article decent. |

It's interesting to see that you argued O-Ring was too slow for Legacy, yet you include Vindicate in your Vintage deck.  Great article. In-depth analysis of a deck is some of my favorite stuff to read. |

In-depth analysis of a deck is some of my favorite stuff to read. I don't think Vindicate is too slow for Legacy though. Speed for the effect is key, O Ring is too slow for the effect it provides. As another example, Jace is certainly slower than both Vindicate and O Ring but better than both in Legacy and Vintage. And another thing is that Vindicate might actually be too slow for my vintage deck, its currently (along with Repeal) the 59th or 60th best card in that list, so who knows. Glad you liked the article. |

I actually thought your 59th card would have been Lim-Dul's Vault.

Guys, I really want the article forum to be a platform for intelligent, substantive discussion. Please don't spam one-liner posts or snipe at each other, as that kind of remark really takes away from what the forum is here for.
