Shameless copy paste from the previous thread c/o enderfall. It's free and it's fun! Time to test out those anti delver decks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details of the event can be found here: http://blippytheslug.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/bad-moon-rising-2/Free to enter and you can win bot credits and Vintage Masters packs! Make sure you come out for this event if you can. Due to lack of significant number of participants the last couple of times, the organizer is considering ending the event if more people don't show up. As is, the event is really good EV since there's only been about 12 people in the prior events!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I will try to make this. Caught the bug again after Champs and I need some Vintage action.
Might try streaming my matches as well.

I probably won't make it this time due to work, but I'm here to say I love the event and will be playing it whenever possible.

Instead of tearing things down we should calmly explain our opinions. |

I should be grading midterms, but that's what between rounds is for, right?

Decklists/results: http://www.gatherling.com/eventreport.php?event=Bad%20Moon%20Rising%201.05There are definitely some brews in there, presumably since the tournament was free to enter. After a brief glance it looks like 2/2 shops decks (both Martello?) did well. I really hope they reprint wasteland as a promo so we can see what shops unhindered by the cost of those cards can do in the online meta. The price of wasteland has gone down quite a bit in recent weeks, but $80 per wasteland is still a lot. |

The price of wasteland has gone down quite a bit in recent weeks, but $80 per wasteland is still a lot. I don't want to deviate too far off topic, but Workshop decks are cheaper than nearly every single "Blue" deck on MTGO, even with the price of Wasteland. It's roughly the same price as Delver decks. The only real difference is most Legacy/Modern players already have the Delver shell. If Wasteland drops a lot, Workshop becomes a budget deck and that's actually a real problem, IMHO. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/vintage#online |

Regardless, I really have no problem if shop decks become much cheaper, since the meta online has so little non-blue pillar representation. It would provide actual punishment for playing these hyper inbred decks. |

Regardless, I really have no problem if shop decks become much cheaper, since the meta online has so little non-blue pillar representation. It would provide actual punishment for playing these hyper inbred decks. Why would anyone playing Delver opt for Misty over other cheaper Blue fetches if cost is a real concern? You are never going to play Taiga or basic forest, so what does Misty matter over Delta or Strand? Hurkyls is probably the worst option for Delver lists to fight Workshop since you aren't a combo deck that can win on a single turn. Trygon, Claim, Chewer, Grudge, and Dack are your best tools. I'll concede Misdirection, but I've seen plenty of Delver lists win without it. It's purpose, so far as my experience has shown me, is only to fight of Decay on your Cages against Oath. I don't think Delver is concerned with BUG 1-for-1'ing their threats. |

In the mtggoldfish link you posted the price is for a list with misdirection, hurkyl's and misty rainforests. My point was that those particular cards, which are uncommon, weird, and completely unnecessary respectively, artificially inflates the price, so delver is much more "budget" than that 940 tix would lead one to believe. By the way, misdirection is more useful than just against oath. It's good in the mirror and as Steve's VSL games showed us, misdirecting ancestral multiple times in a match  |

I'm arguing against my own opinion. Sorry! Also, few people are Misdirection master's like Smmenen |
