Great article man!

@cafecafe said in Vintage 101: The Greatest Thief:

Small contribution for your Grixis videos section from last saturday: CafeCafe playing Thieves

Thanks! I can't quite make changes once its published myself, but thanks for posting your video!

@spook said in Serious Vintage #34 - Vintage Champs Finalist Nam Q. Tran:

I was unaware of the triple stack but had one this morning.

Mistaaaaake!

Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed it.

@smmenen Good read! Very cool with a tool that can measure diversity. Seeing is believing.

My only critique of your article would be that it wasn't immediately obvious that you flipped the index. You wrote

Recall that a higher value indicates a more balanced and more diverse metagame, and a lower number indicates a less balanced and less diverse metagame, with .99 being a nearly perfectly balanced and diverse metagame with a plethora of viable decks, and a value closer to 0 being a metagame dominated basically by a single deck.

But for that sentence to make sense, you would have to have read the endnote as you make no mention above of why this changed.

@smmenen thanks!

I just printed it out, can't wait to playtest it with my playgroup this weekend.

@the_unseen Thanks! I greatly appreciate that.

I loved part 1 (and I'm sure I'll love the rest). I also look forward to the printed version. Thank you for putting this together.

Yeah I was going off what he said on camera after his first Top 8 match. I'll message him to confirm.

Regrowth!

Hope to see some gifts or taigam to bust regrowth!
