Another Vintage development followed Bomberman Oath chronologically, but in spirit was a continuation of the "Beauty and the Beast" package. The advent of Ravnica: City of Guilds provided a slight upgrade to Spirit of the Night. The new package of two legendary angels was known, appropriately...

I think it's time to talk about Bomberman Oath. We're probably, somewhat roughly, in chronological order too. Meandeck Oath and the various options Stephen Menendian floated in the Star City Games article I linked to emerged in late 2004. As Oath proved itself, Vintage players would explore a...

In 13NoVa's old thread, I mentioned the Meandeck Oath creature package, also known as "Beauty and the Beast." This was the configuration that Team Mean Deck ultimately settled on, dominating a couple of Vintage tournaments in 2004. Both of these 6-power legendary creatures have haste and...

You can fire past your own companions without penalty in this game, but you can also move and then shoot without penalty, so I'll assume you're following Ty and then shooting unless I hear differently. Looks like we've got... -Carrow staying put and shooting. -Ty moving along the wall toward...

Perhaps I should just ask it this way. Is Dorgath moving somewhere before taking his shot? And if so, where? And are the non-shooting members of the party following Ty in? The Power Phase is 3, by the way. Forgot to mention that.

To no one's surprise, I failed to update this again last night. Anyway, I can't post another photo of the map in Discord, but it looks like we've got... -Carrow staying put and planning to shoot the necromancer. -Ty moving into the chamber and moving along the wall to his right. -Dorgath...

Ahead of you stands and altar. A cloaked figure stands behind the altar performing some kind of grisly ritual with bones. Alongside the altar is an open chest, with the glint of gold visible.

Well, you probably saw that I already talked about it some in the Tribal Report for this set. We've occasionally gotten sets designed generally around a card type, starting with Antiquities in 1994. We'd already seen this done to some extent with all of the permanent card types, but I'd been...

Alright, looks like it takes the group about 4 turns to return to the derelict cell in which you found the wights, and another turn to search the room. Since you've fully cleared everything in this deep so far and since I failed to get back to this again until today, I'll just assume no...

As I begin this report, I’ve just closed a binder, having added in the final card I needed to complete my collection of Arabian Nights. I didn’t think I was to go for it, but I did it. I collected a full set of all 92 cards (including the print variants). It’s been exhausting in some ways, but...

Sorry, I forgot to snap a picture of the full map last night. I reminded myself to do so while on my commute home, and then it just slipped me mind entirely. However, TomB is totally correct here. Good job.

Nope, but he can tell that it would require a magic key or a powerful spell to get through.

Later in 2004, Forbidden Orchard came out. I think this was the first CPA thread about it? Anyway, I'm enjoying all the opportunities I keep finding to plug classic CPA threads when it comes to this topic. I have no idea whether 13NoVa actually took that deck to a Vintage tournament. I do think...

Throg immediately notices that the portcullis is sealed with a powerful magic lock and that there's no way the dwarf is opening that thing. I don't know whether he informs Dorgath of this right away or lets Dorgath puzzle over it for a while...

Added the boots to Ty's inventory.

Within my playgroups in the late 90's and early 00's, Eric had been the main player to use Oath of Druids. Later, another friend of mine built an Oath deck. Chris built an Oath deck that was somewhat different from the tournament builds. He used yet another card from Judgment. The idea of...

While I don't have a copy of Eric's decklist from that tournament, everything I can remember about it matches up pretty well to Zvi Mowshowitz's Turboland deck from 2003. 1 Battlefield Scrounger 3 Time Warp 4 Accumulated Knowledge 1 Capsize 4 Counterspell 2 Gush 2 Intuition 2 Krosan Reclamation...

Carrow looks down the well. His eyes catch water a short distance down the shaft, but nothing else. Dorgath's search of the remains turns up an item he's familiar with... Boots of Battle: Allow for a single kick attack per turn at -1 to hit and +1 Strength. Enchanted to fit the wearer...

I'll talk about Cognivore a bit more. I only ever built two Oath decks myself, and one of those was a Cognivore version. But now I want to talk about my favorite Oath setup of all time. I mentioned it as an aside in a couple of CPA threads, but I never told the full story. This is a good one...

I performed a bit of thread necromancy and posted pictures from my copy of the magazine in that old thread. There are some real gems in there along with some peculiar choices, as CPA members back then were keen to point out. I won't do a deep dive into that list right now, but I will take a look...
