@moorebrother1 Massive MASSIVE difference between a 1k Modern deck and a 50k Vintage deck.

And of course it's up to everyone to choose, I'm saying the risk to reward for me is nowhere close enough. I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself while always having to be extra careful about where everything is at all times.

The trick that has been around for many years is Nev's Disk with Hurkyl's Recall. You activate the disk and put the effect on the stack then cast Hurkyl's Recall to get back your disk and any other artifacts that would have gotten blown up.

@joshuabrooks I agree with you that people have to learn lessons. Maybe learning a lesson by losing $100,000 is a bit much? What bothers me most though is that the scammer would win with $100,000 in their pocket. What kind of lesson does the scammer learn? They would learn that they can get rich easily by taking advantage of people. Then other bad people will see what the scammer has done and then you have more people doing scams. And then it cascades from there, repeating this same process over and over, creating thousands of scams. Lets stop it now while we still can.

This is the argument I find most compelling.

@blindtherapy The About Me on this profile is hilarious

@80percentbuffoon LOL. Do you just have that reply as a macro at this point?

Oh, a fantasy card thread. Haven't had one of those in a while.

Is this the only comment you make on this board?

I also complement good Vintage original content. Unfortunately I haven't seen an opportunity to work that muscle in a while.

Well, you could try posting some yourself 🙂

Bold of you to say that an hour and a half after I did.

@protoaddict quadromes - still enter tapped, add 4 colors. That'd make them better than triomes, but still not always better than duals.

I am entirely unsure if that is true or not. I mean the issue is not actually the dual lands, but the existence of the fetches, because the fetches are the primary reason we care about the land type other than Gush. Period. The fetches were a mistake, not sure if that genie can ever be put back in the bottle.

Remove the fetches from the equation and the ways you could print new duals in a variety of ways opens up in a huge manner.

@desolutionist if you're looking for more advanced play, I like the new Challenger decks. They're a great way to capture Standard feel.
If your looking for the most basic stuff, like REALLY basic, to teach, Open House decks are awesome (don't know how you can get'em during pandemic, but maybe someone has a few to sell on eBay?).
Other than that I'd go with Jumpstart, like people said here, or Duel Decks seem fine.

@khahan Interseting. The Type 4 versions I've heard of are here:

https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Type_4
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/serious-fun/fourth-type-2009-07-28

Both versions have infinite mana and a 1-spell-per-turn limitation. Both draft 60 card decks from a pile though. A shared zone game is great, and the 200 card deck keeps things interesting enough game after game. The balance between colors also helps.

you might want to think of Tinker as an additional cost tutor / blue artifact engine card. It’s honestly over hyped. You can just Pyroblast it and then they’re down two cards.

Steve,

Are you sure you meant Homecoming and not Far From Home? Homecoming came out in 2017. 🙂

Yes, sorry I mixed those up 🙂

The first one was very good, but Far From Home was weirder and more surreal. The way that it used visuals to mislead viewers was original and frankly stunning.

@Smmenen
Just wondering about "Joker" its numbered 5 but in the 3 position is it 3 or 5? You also call it a Zeitgeist movie. Do you mean Zeitgeist the German word or Zeitgeist the Marvel comic char? -either works oddly enough.

The former.
