@chubbyrain Yes please, love the brews. Will tune in. Time?
Also can you not play music, twitch cuts your audio and it really takes away from the stream.

@hardy I don't like white borders either, but why put the nice black bordered cards in sleeves with white backgrounds? Isn't this basically adding an additional ugly white board to black bordered beauties?

@protoaddct Yes, it is weird to me as well. I keep thinking, what will this be used for in limited and standard especially since it's uncommon? I don't play limited or standard so I'm not certain that it makes sense to print this card to deal with what we've seen so far. Powerstone Shard and Guilded Lotus don't seem like something that need a hate card, but I don't trust my evaluation of this. Additionally I'm completely lost as to the need for the other part of this card which seems to hate on cantip/storm decks.

@wappla Are you talking about zero investment acceleration? Chandra doesn't count because you need to invest 4 to get 3 later. Where does Dark Ritual fit, does it count as this kind of acceleration?

Thanks for writing this, I wish there were more posts on here like this. I'll never play modern, but I love to look at the decks and imagine what vintage versions would look like and play like even though it's clear there are better options. Honestly I'd like to see a vintage stream that focused on this sort of content.

Damping Sphere - (2) - Artifact

If a land is tapped for two or more mana, it produces (♦) instead of any other type and amount.

Each spell a player casts costs (1) more to cast for each other spell that player has cast this turn.

This card has "Vintage Qualities" (cheap cost, artifact, and it interacts with with Vintage strategies), but does it do enough to take up a slot in the 75 and if it does, which decks want it?

Since the card hasn't been released yet, I'm only looking for speculation.
Speaking of speculation, I'm excited to see the rest of the cards from Dominaria; specifically the ones that Damping Sphere is an answer to.

@supertimland
I expected nothing new and that's what I said.

Nothing new just watered down old, pretty disappointing in my opinion.

I'm generally against Bans and Restrictions in any eternal format, this one is no exception. Mentor has been the most exciting and fun card Vintage has ever seen and now it's restricted. They've been hacking away at shops for years now, one day the tower will fall and shops will go from dominant to unplayable, maybe we are finally here. Personally I think shops is an important part of the Vintage meta and think it's tragic that they continue to pull it apart.
I don't care if a deck or card is dominant, to me that's what new cards are for, like Mentor was. Vintage is supposed to be broken and I'm sick of these bans. Grumble grumble grumble.

How about Eidolon of the Great Revel
