What really burns my ass is Legacy can be a pretty fun format that tons, if not nearly all, of newer players will never get to mess around in based purely on the economics of it. It's only going to get worse going forward as things get more and more scarce, until we hit that breaking point that...

There also are more copies of Vintage staples available than there are some of the Legacy cards, but a lot of that probably has to do mostly with the recent events.

If you seriously think Vintage is a healthy and thriving format then uhhh, I guess we're done here?

Should be the cast part being limited by sorcery yea. Once you've cast Languish and paid for it's "in play" (as much as spells can be" and waiting on the stack, so when the Queller gets exiled it'd return Languish back to where it was sitting on the stack to resolve.

RE: Spell Queller feels like a bad idea given how already amazingly strong CC bant is. Every time someone casts CC in response and lands this cunt should just be a pure joy for people to play against. That said, my plans of janky U/W/r spirits keep looking better and better.

Goddamnit now I have to agree with a_skeleton_03. People treating it as a small time investment vessel does not a functional or healthy game format make. Look at the Moat buyout and what it has started. By the end of the month you'll see every copy of every playable reserve list card drained...

Vintage is by definition a dead format. The staple cards of every viable deck are in ultra-limited supply, with price tags to match, which means the player base can only shrink and never expand. It's a plenty amusing format, but it just isn't viable in 2016.

Vintage has been on life support for years and is kept "alive" by the small handful of old fogeys that like to bust it out once a year. Or when a store wants some publicity and runs a Vintage event giving away power pieces or something. Natural attrition of every card is insanely high when...

That still doesn't work. Making "almost" reprints doesn't save the format, as it doesn't change the required base of cards have an extremely limited (and shrinking) base of cards. Tarbernacle-lite will always be inferior to just Tabernacle, so anyone wanting to play Lands even remotely seriously...

400% growth based nearly entirely on reserve list card scarcity, wouldn't exactly call that healthy.

Genji also tends to kill people further back in in the map/on points and such, where as S76 you're typically just slugging it out with the front lines and no murdering their supports etc.

Yea Win10 is amazingly stable as a clean install, very likely your issue was some shitty dell/hp/whatever branded software borking when updates ran.

How the fuck did /r9k leak in to this thread.

They don't stack, multiple 76s are still very strong though. Pretty common to have 2 of them on a lot of maps.

System is kinda broken right now anyway and seems to be on the path to just deranking everyone to level 1 eventually. One person leaving a match ruining it for 11 people instead of just 5 is a pretty lol move. If one person quits they might as well just remake the game at this point, as the...

You bros were in to a very different part of the 80s than I was apparently

Recently rediscovering Necrophobic, this has been a good weekend

He's the hero MTG deserves. If he has the bankroll to ruin enough of the secondary market, or others start emulating him, it could finally force wotcs hand to start reprinting shit more frequently. Or just let legacy die a slow painful death, either or.

Heh, my remaining EDH deck is full beta lands, swag points all over the place. Chumps with their unglued lands are always jelly.

If you spend 100$+ buying a beta lightning bolt then I'm gonna call you a crazy person.

Cause bant collected company decks need more in standard

9-1 got me rank 64, and koth maps are definitely still in rotation, just did x2 Nepal to end my placements.

So what you're saying is I'm better than the pros, got it.

I'd wager your average FNM is more technically competent at this point than any of the pros were 25 years ago.

ITT: people who have never participated in a ranking/ELO system before. This argument has been to done 100 times over and you're all saying the same shit every bad does in every game. Bottom line is, if you are truly better than your rank, you will climb out of it eventually. It's been the...

Yea it was more than just vice being prevalent. That far back life wasn't really seen as a resource and the concept of trading it for cards was rather frowned upon, especially with necro taking away your normal card draw.

I still have my copy of Inquest declaring Necropotence the worse card ever printed. Times were simpler back then.

Take Inventory is a sorcery, so the first one would have to resolve before you can cast the second one no? So you'd get 4 draws total?

Meld is fine, it's only the 3 pairs of them anyway so not like it's gonna be fucking up limited. Thus far a lot of cards seem meh, especially the new kindle/accumulate, but white has some crazy good looking stuff in the rider rider dude and the new kicker card. I love the nibilis of frost...

You only get to file as head of household if you have actual dependents (kids or invalids or whatever), otherwise you still have to just file as single regardless no?

Yea if you're just doing a single person file as like a renter with a job, it's worthless.

You can do it in Turbotax, but it replaces the individual standard deduction, so your expenses need to be crazy high for it to win out. You basically make your home office a % of the square footage of where you live then get to take that % from rent, electric, heating, internet, then throw in...

I looked in to that last year as I worked from home like 85% of the, even adding up % of rent/utilities and everything I spend on tech it was still less than taking the personal standard deduction, so meh.

I'm super close to dropping the cash on it, but it'd mostly be for work. Trying to game in 21:9 is still shitty with lots of games not even supporting it, and getting a stable 60-100fps on a single 980ti is pretty rough, so kinda feels best to wait another year for a 1080ti and some price drops...

Holy fuck Capcom has actually been putting in work. Rog/juri/urien all revealed at CEO, get hype boys.

Suddenly I'm not so upset about the Arya scenes. They could have been, so, so much worse.

Probably isn't a chick, just using that for free fame for what would otherwise be a normal pro-level Korean dude.

Lol reserve list. Moat is what, a sometimes sideboard card in miracles and played nowhere else? 500$ because the world is running out of copies, surely good for the game.

Yea gap between like ~90 and full 144 is almost imperceptible, but even going from 60 > 75 is hugely noticeable.
