@craw_advantage said in Proxy Rules:

I voted for "X" and I'm going to set X=75 (Battle of Wits players are on their own). I understand no-proxy tournaments but I don't really understand "some but not all" proxy tournaments. It's kind of a bummer because I'd love to try to get a group of friends together (who no longer play competitive Magic regularly) to attend a local tournament, but it definitely isn't going to happen with the expense involved even at the fifteen-proxy level. Although maybe part of the purpose is to keep the scrubs out, in which case mission accomplished.

I think part of the rationale for partial proxy tournaments, at least historically, has been that most events are held at stores trying are trying to sell Magic cards to players. I doubt in most cases there's any "keep the scrubs out" motivation behind it.

I still can't believe this. Just seems so unreal

Depending on price/shipping I'm interested as well:-)

Hey @themonadnomad Glad you like yours! I'm happy people seem to be enjoying them. Since folks were excited I'm working on a couple more just in case. Maybe some vintage action for the Holiday season

I'm leaning towards unstable. I think getting 2-3 of them now I can sell 1 in a few years and recoup most of that expense.

@garbageaggro It just didn't work out this year so I have to miss it. I would have loved to be there.

@brass-man that card appears to be from master's edition IV, which i think came out after the Dark.

Illusionary Deadlands
Land
t, pay 1 life: add U or B
exile illusionary deadlands from your graveyard: exile your graveyard. return all cards exiled this way to your graveyard at the beginning of the next end step.

Fuck yea dude

Yeah, this is an excellent time to get into Vintage on MTGO. Obviously, do this for fun, not as any sort of financial investment. Good luck splitting those flusterstorms!

@jaco having the same problems as you on messaging here, adding and messagin you on FB

I just thought about this the other day. And Green needs one too....it can be for a colorless spell or colorless permanent. Some juice vs eldrazi/shops, and green is an anti-artifact color anyway.

@loukayza said in GP Las Vegas Beta Rochester Draft:

What's the value of an Alpha starter even at?? Is it in the "name your price" territory as a seller, of like $30K and up???

Yes. There's few folks who deal in this - but basically the person who wins this will need to determine if the number they're offered is worth it.

My twitter is not worth following.

Cardname

Instant U

Name a card then reveal the top card of your library. If its the named card draw 2 cards, otherwise draw 1 card

This is a less broken version of mise that might help fair blue decks.

Vintage is the format where, within reason, you get to play any card. That's the official WotC reason [citation needed].
