Ha, you're much too late! I already built the deck to be Abzan, not Sultai (I saw a bunch of Legacy players raging over the very idea of adopting the new clan names to denote the wedge color combinations, and their tears nourish my soul). But in truth, blue/black/green is my favorite three-color...

You may be misremembering how this worked. Mishra's Workshop was unrestricted in Classic (which later became Vintage) back in 1997. From there, it gradually became a powerhouse as players found more tools to make it work. Workshop decks ran rampant in Vintage years before Trinisphere existed...

New article on the subject that is practically even timely. Khans hasn't even been released yet!

Nope. Someone who actually plays MTGO could give a better answer, but from what I've heard, online cards tend to be considerably cheaper than their physical counterparts.

Well, Workshop decks have been good for about a thousand years now, give or take. So I guess there's nothing surprising about the deck itself. Maybe Magic Online will breathe some life into the corpse of Vintage?

Step 1: Cite dubious examples of some behavior. Step 2: Psychoanalyze the behavior without actually examining any details. Step 3: You have a Washington Post article! Again, there's just the assertion that some behavior, which hasn't been explicitly defined, can be attributed to some...

I still haven't responded to this? Well, better late than never... Turgy already covered what's wrong with this. I hate Star City Games with an inexplicable passion, but, big as they are, we can all agree that SCG Opens aren't the biggest competitions for Magic. That's just objectively...

Should say Ertai's Trickery. Ertai's Tricker is totally OP.

Well, the full set has been spoiled. Some interesting concepts, but it looks like they were overly cautious in making things slower and more expensive. This set kind of reminds me of Invasion. The multicolored focus will help to make the set popular initially, but in the long run the low power...

Only if it's hip to be square. :(

Nope.

Child of Gaea beat me to it. I haven't heard of old socks being stolen before, but I'm sure I've heard of objects with similar apparent value being stolen by tweakers and such.

Bah, no blocks. I'll just draw into an answer on my next turn (and then discard it again because the Grafted Skullcap giveth and the Grafted Skullcap taketh away).

That this seems even remotely weird to you leads me to believe that there are no drugs in Baltimore. That can't be right...

The third column is the source of the card spoiler. For example, "Feature" indicates a feature article on the WotC website. "Facebook" refers to a card that was first spoiled through the official Magic: the Gathering Facebook page. "LoadingReadyRun" is for this video.

Nope.

I feel like that a lot! It's kind of unnerving. I'm strongly in favor of reprints, but until now, I've been able to claim that the cards I particularly want to see reprinted are ones that I already own anyway, so I'm not motivated by my own petty greed or whatever. Most notably, I've been...

Well, I could tell you what the top decks in Legacy and Vintage are. That part's easy (and these days, it's statistically tracked pretty well by The Council). But you're getting at something else that's a lot murkier: WotC's treatment of Eternal formats. Part of the murkiness is quite...

I have no idea! I'm holding onto mine, but I got mine back when I was in high school. If the prices of the old versions crashed and they became $20 cards or whatever, I'd still be coming out way ahead, assuming that I cared. I just checked, though, and the prices on the Onslaught fetchlands did...

When you say "they meant it to be played" what do you have in mind? Because Richard Garfield knew that cards like Black Lotus and Berserk could be extremely powerful. That kind of power was made a part of the game from the beginning. As for "non-Eternal" formats lacking broken cards and...
