Favorite Vintage Playable Card

Doomsday, without a doubt. It's the card that got me into Vintage.

My favorite Vintage playable card would have to be Time Walk.  It was my first piece of power, and it was a gift from my parents.

The other cards that fit into my top 5 Vintage playable cards would have to be Gush, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Dark Confidant, and Time Vault in no particular order.

Probably magus of the moon. Totally fair card (a gray ogre, not more not less) that punishes greedy manabases.

I like also a lot Cavern of souls, but I find it a bit unfair.

Ancestral Recall -- Phenomenal Cosmic Power; itty bitty living space.  Gotta love that efficiency.

Not surprisingly, Oath of Druids is and will always be my favorite card in Magic. Whether it's 1999's Extended, rocking Spike Feeder and Morphling, or in 2013's Vintage, whipping up Griselbrand left and right, the green enchantment has always had a lot of meaning to me.

Oath of Druids is incredibly powerful, but I also love it from a flavor standpoint. It's the sacred druid tree that summons a creature "at random" to even out the playing field. Nature is a wild beast.

Outside of Oath of Druids, my other favorite Vintage playable is a classic one that often gets forgotten in the list of stupidly powerful cards: Demonic Tutor. Having a Demonic Tutor in your hand is almost like having anything in your hand. Sometimes the choice is simple, and sometimes there are a few directions in which you can take the game. Sometimes it can impact the game right away, potentially even winning it, or sometimes it can be used to plan or prepare for the future. Fun.

Your favorite card isn't an Elf?

Smokestack.  That card has won more games for me than any other.
