Thread necromancy time! Four years after this thread died, here I am again. I was screwing around with Legacy decks, testing them and reading about some less used ones. Well, I was messing with Cephalid Breakfast when I suddenly remembered this old thread. For those of you who don't know...

I don't understand this post. Could you elaborate? Do you seriously think that Elspeth is better in Vintage than Tezzeret? And what's this about Affinity? Tezzeret is already the centerpiece of its own control deck? Why are you trying to fit it into some other, worse deck?

Yeah, I was talking specifically about Vintage. It would be used in SOMETHING in Legacy, although I'm not sure what.

Merry Christmas. And it actually is Christmas now.

I forget if Cugel has a shortbow or a longbow. Either way he'll take the ornate longbow. After all, it is ornate. "Perhaps I should test this on something prior to relying on the integrity of its construction in live combat. Hm..."

That might be a concern if this thing had any potential in Vintage. It would have to be anylandyouwantcycling and they still might not use it.

Still not banning Dwarven Pony, huh?

I don't get it...

Isn't he dead? Oh, THAT Ed Sullivan. Happy birthday. What was the title before the edit?

Up until, I think, late 1999, it was possible to announce a spell, then use LED to get the mana to pay for it, even if the spell was in your hand. So really ANY spell that you were willing to lose your hand to pay for could combo with LED. If anything, the card should have been better back then...

I got a white deck and a black deck, but I haven't opened them yet, so you'll have to wait. :p

I just got mine. Turns out that it wasn't shipped from Seattle at all. The packages says it's from Grand Prairie, Texas. I didn't even know that WotC had a facility way down there, but my 30 seconds of internet-based research seems to suggest that it's a distribution place of some sort. Who knew?

Because right now, those are the ones who can put displays up at the Capitol in Olympia. Other groups are already disallowed from doing so.

No, because if they shipped it ground to me and next day air to you at the same time, I might still get it first. :p

Yeah, and if that had been the case, I'd have gotten mine first. :p

Nothing here really screams "awful" at me right now. I'll have to peruse the whole set list... Oh, and Lion's Eye Diamond was always a strong card. People just didn't know how to use it back then and the types of decks that exploit it weren't really in force. There was also no Yawgmoth's Will...

Whether I prefer a more or less moderate strategy depends on the situation. Like I said earlier, when I have a great deal of understanding (or even think I do) about an issue, I'm pretty much always an extremist (can't think of a single counterexample right now). When I don't know enough or am...

You're thinking of Argivian Archaeologist.

In my understanding, the key characteristic of any generalization about people is that it takes an observed trait for some of a group and extrapolates that for the entire group (or possibly acknowledges exceptions but dismisses them as unimportant, I suppose). A statement like "people do x..."...
