@megantic said in Brian Kelly is actually responsible for the Unrestriction of Mishra's Workshop:
I keep wondering why we (the vintage players/TMD) just come up with our own community restricted list, and reject the Wizards list?
Because it would be impossible to come to a consensus on what the list should be, as this thread has shown, and would likely just fracture an already small community between those that follow the DCI list and those that follow the community list.
Over the last couple of years I have hosted annual memorial Magic the Gathering tournaments in remembrance of a close friend of mine, Steven Christopher Marshall, Goober to his friends. The goal is to bring together friends, family, and strangers alike to raise money for Child's Play and carry on his fun-loving, competitive spirit.
The third annual tournament will be on Sunday September 9th, in the Odeum of the Campus Center at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Registration will begin at 11 with round one starting promptly at noon. The format will be unlimited proxy Vintage as it was last year. More details can be found on the Facebook page for the event.
Entry fee will be $25 either in advance through GoFundMe, or in cash at the door. Prizes for the top 8 will be, at a minimum:
1st Place - Tundra (and more still TBD)
2nd Place - 4x Ancient Tomb
3rd-4th Place - Force of Will
5th-8th Place - Wasteland
I was glad to see some of you there last year, and I hope to see even more of you this year! Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think you can make it!
This is a terrific write-up, and gives great insight into the way you approach the game and life in general. More than anything about Magic or this particular weekend, I came away from reading this with just a general feeling of sadness, though I'm not sure what that says about me.
Best wishes! I've taken internet community sabbaticals in the past, and it's amazing how much you don't miss it after a while. I'll be sure to check out your stream when that starts happening again.
@stormanimagus What does a DPS list look like that can support 3x Empty and Pulverize out of the board? That's much more red than I typically have seen.
@vaughnbros I don't think anyone that watched the VSL is now jamming Loam in their Dredge list just because they saw LSV playing it. More likely they saw LSV playing it and realized how good it is. I don't think it's one or the other, I think it's both.
Regardless, as @Brass-Man pointed out, this seems to be a continued metagame evolution more than anything else. If Loam is going to become more prevalent in Dredge to dodge commonly played hate cards, other players will adjust their sideboard plans accordingly, Dredge players will react, and so on.
Same for me, using Overcast on iOS. Excited to give it a listen!
@thecravenone said in Interesting Decknames and Card-nicknames:
A friend had a deck long ago that he called "Bobs over Baghdad" that played Dark Confidants and Bazaar of Baghdad. I may have a very outdated list hanging around my computer somewhere.
That reminds me of an old Vintage deck from like 2003/2004 called "Bombs over Baghdad", which was basically a Bazaar/Madness deck with Draw 7s.
