Sure! And it’s not that I think they shouldn’t play Vintage. It’s just that we seem SO far apart on what we’re getting out of the format. Like, they’re unhappy with the very things I enjoy, and I don’t know what they enjoy because they never talk about it. Some of these players don’t seem to enjoy anything.
Lately I’ve been concerned that it’s me. Maybe Vintage is headed in a direction I don’t want. Middle School and Old School have fun communities, and Legacy has powerful cards. Would that be so bad? (Insert GIF of Principal Skinner saying “No, it’s the children who are wrong.” I’m on my phone and can’t find it.)

If the game is so bad why play it?
There have been a number of people through the years where I've wondered why they play Vintage instead of another format, or even Magic instead of another game. I think some people actually enjoy complaining.
This is coming up and is going to be sweet. Here are prizes for the Old School event. Middle School prizes are en route.
Sure! We'll use the Eternal Central lists and rules for both formats:
Old School: https://www.eternalcentral.com/9394rules/
Middle School: https://www.eternalcentral.com/middleschoolrules/
There's more complete details on the signup sheet too.

I'm in for this. If anyone else wants to ride up from Columbus, let me know.
He was deservedly smug.
Edit: Also I am in for Team Serious plays X-Men Legends.
I did check with the rules manager before bringing up the morph thing because it's so immediately not apparent. Basically it just has to be a colorless spell on the stack, which morphs are.
