    • RE: How do we bring prison decks back without breaking the format?

      I feel like Blood Moon is a heavily underplayed card in vintage. It's not quite as oppressive as in Legacy, more akin to Modern due to moxes. Maybe if Shops played Red for Blood Moon, I've played red prison in Modern a lot and it's incredibly strong and I feel like this could work in Vintage.

    • RE: Question for fun: What card from Alpha-Dark could be restricted someday? (e.g. What ancient cards have an undiscovered power level.)

      I feel like, one card that has the potential to be insane in the right environment is City in a Bottle, prepare your phones fore much googling. Karakas is a way better suggestion though.

    • Terrible brew idea! DrainTwist!

      Hello TMD
      One card that I think is sorely underplayed in vintage is mind twist. When this card was the scourge of all formats it was combined with mana drain to demolish your opponents hand. It is said that it mind twist resolves you often loose on the spot. So, onto the list!

      This is something that I threw together quickly as a brain fart, unfortunately I'm away from my computer this weekend and unable to test it at all online.

      Spells
      1 Ancestral Recall
      1 Brainstorm
      1 Demonic Tutor
      1 Dig Through Time
      4 Duress
      3 Fatal Push
      2 Flusterstorm
      4 Force of Will
      3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
      4 Mana Drain
      4 Mental Misstep
      3 Mind Twist
      1 Mindbreak Trap
      2 Mission Briefing
      1 Necropotence
      1 Time Walk
      1 Treasure Cruise
      
      Mana
      1 Black Lotus
      2 Flooded Strand
      2 Island
      1 Library of Alexandria
      2 Misty Rainforest
      1 Mox Jet
      1 Mox Sapphire
      4 Polluted Delta
      2 Scalding Tarn
      1 Sol Ring
      1 Strip Mine
      1 Swamp
      4 Underground Sea
      

      This version is very control heavy, with Jace as the only win condition and a ton of interaction. What does TMD think of my terrible brew?

    • What is TMD's opinion on permission

      Yesterday I loaded up Jeskai Mentor online and noticed it runs significantly more permission than other vintage decks I've played. So my question to you all is, how much permission do you run?

    • RE: Vintage Lands

      @john-cox isn't gifts just even slower intuition/realms uncharted in this deck?

    • RE: What would freshen up Vintage?

      Unrestricting Fastbond would be cool. Lands would significantly change the vintage meta. The problem would be with all the new Fastbond decks available. It's hard to turn down hands with Fastbond serveral lands and a major threat that wins the game like Tezzeret or Jace

    • Competitive Viability of Flash Rector

      For those unaware flash is one of the stupidest cards ever printed. The fact you can instantly kill someone at instant speed with protection for 2 mana with protean hulk is dumb.

      Anyway another card that pairs well with flash is academy rector. When academy rector dies you exile it and search for a enchantment and put it into play.

      So how viable is a flash rector deck? Is it better to go for the "I win" enchantments like omniscience and eldrazi conscription or for silver bullets like energy flux and runed halo? Which colours are right to play, obviously blue for flash, white for rector, and black for tutors + viscera seer, but is it worth adding red or green?

    • What if balance was unrestricted?

      Would a UW balance deck be competitive in the current meta? Would unrestricting this card alter the meta in any major way?
