@p3temangus said in Collectors and International Edition Cards for Sanctioned Play:

@joshuabrooks My main point is because it won't hurt anything, and the proxy precedent has already been set, then why not?

I think it opens up a can of worms for them with World Championship decks then too.

This is an old argument and most people seem to be firmly on one side or the other, and wizards has never even hinted at allowing them.

I will say, the interesting aspect of CE is that it is already within striking distance of where moxes and duals were priced 1 yr ago, and that’s only with one unofficial format (old school) allowing them. I don’t see this helping make Vintage that much more accessible other than for old school players that can convert to occasional Vintage tournament play.

I would argue that if they became legal, there would be almost zero price benefit to the format, as demand would quickly outstrip the addition of 13,000 cards. As old school has shown us, demand for mint CE might overtake demand for beat power/duals.

I agree with you, I just don’t think it will help that much, and might even drive prices higher.

Wow, if there is an EDH flusterstorm battle with this on the table, I might have to quit magic.

[Or maybe they will start printing instant/sorcery tokens]

Cool stuff, do them on something other than a base Gildan t and I'd love to grab some! Maybe you could gang an order together (if that's worth the hassle, which it probably isn't

I couldn't find a decklist on their page, but boy is reading the translated page entertaining.

So.....Much...Shuffling (and great sportsmanship!)

I was about to wade into this debate and take umbrage with one of the most egregious claims in this entire thread. But before one argues with the great @brianpk80, it's a smart idea to do some research first. Ray of Light was released in March of 1998, so it slips outside the 20yr mark.

@brianpk80

One thing we can all agree one I'm sure is that Madonna's career has taken a terrible nose-dive in the past 20 years, due to terrible songwriting decisions. I hope that engenders solidarity.

Carry on.

@prospero said in Historical Vintage Exhibition:

@joshuabrooks I had a format that I put very little work into developing, but it was basically Vintage through Scourge. It was a lot of fun, and I should have put more work into it. Maybe in the future, unless somebody else wants to take up the mantle.

Yeah, I remember when you came out with it. I was wishing I lived on Long Island for a week. Would have loved to give the ole keeper/cunning wish deck a spin for old times sake. Not to mention, classic frames!!!

I think the format has potential (lots of decks to play, affordable, and great spells), but I don’t necessarily miss 15min YawgWills :).

@Miryafa I meant to write earlier, but I think this is a great idea! Something we all wish we had the time to do, or have been curious about at some point in our Magic lives. I have fond memories of my friends and I re-running the old Zak Dolan vs. Bertrand Lestree matchup dozens of times in the past (spoiler: it doesn't end well for Zak), but we had tremendous fun. I often wonder if far down the road, when people tire of 93/94, we'll have a re-writing of Magic history as every metagame gets re-explored year by year. I know @Prospero tried it at one point for those that were nostalgic towards the early/mid 2000s. Might have been an idea ahead of its time.

I'm sure if you asked for people to submit decks, you would get some good recommendations. I've always been curious about the old fabled Maysonet RackBalance deck. I personally don't think it's as timeless as people claim, and would love to see it run against a more modern deck and be proven wrong. Keep doing what you're doing!
