Thought this was a very good article. It's refreshing to see someone write about the deck without taking one side or another about it.

Nice article on the history of the deck.  The deck has certainly come a long way, and hopefully we get even more options with another graveyard set pending!

The one thing I'd add is a little more about the hate pieces.  The transformation boards actually started because of the printings of some of these hate pieces Grafdigger's Cage, Containment Priest, and Rest in Peace.  While Grafdigger's Cage and Containment Priest are less powerful, their overlap on Oath has made hate much more prevalent than graveyard hate used to be. 

Also there is a small copy/edit thing in the first deck list.  The sideboard isn't showing, and there are main deck cards in the board.

Thanks man.

I'm going to try to get the issues fixed. I'm going to be completely honest with you guys, I meant to write more but I was literally falling asleep as I finished this one. That's my fault for not getting enough sleep, but I want you to know that I did feel like I should have squeezed out some more work.

Thanks for reading. What did you guys think of the opinion section at the end? I feel like all vintage decks and their pilots deserve respect, that's why I added that. I don't want someone who could afford a dredge deck online to avoid buying into vintage that way because they have a negative opinion of the deck.

I've never quite understood the hating this deck or that deck in Vintage.  I'm in the format because I *ENJOY* seeing the absolute power limits of the game - not to bitch about them.  This attitude makes sense in Standard since its supposed to be a "balanced" format - but Vintage is quite a ways off Standard...
