Standard, yes. But also, oddly enough, draft. That highlights what I really like about this block, even if the power level isn't quite up to the point that I would like. The interaction between cards is pervasive enough that combo even has a kind of presence in Limited formats. It's a step in...

Carrow drinks a sip of the water. It tastes refreshing, but nothing seems to happen. As he approaches the barrier, it continues to flicker, but he is unable to pass through. Carrow backs off, feeling dizzy.

Haven't really been on in the past few days. Reminder post for me to get to Spidey's Commune with the Gods...

Before the party leave the room, Revaethan finds another intact bottle. "Looks like this is a Blade Wash for making a magic weapon. My swords are already magic, so I certainly don't need it..." As the warriors make their way back to the vestibule, Tomas and Kelgar are able to, with their...

There are walls in the way. Is the party leaving the store room and returning to the vestibule?

Throg takes a swig from the jug. The water does turn out to be holy, which produces a rather serious effect when a being of Chaos tries to drink it for some reason. -Throg's Mark of Chaos alters the result, preventing him from being killed. -Throg takes 13 damage. -Throg's Alcoholism changes...

Dorgath does not find any secret doors, but his rifling around does unturn a stash of nasty-looking arrows. Revaethan combs through the shelves and finds two healing potions. I am unclear on whether Dorgath lets Throg drink any of the fountain water...

The northern door is wide open, but the forcefield surrounds the chamber.

Got a cool game testing this list, and it's an example of the reason I love this style of deck. Opening hand: Badlands Dark Ritual Duress Mana Crypt Lotus Petal Dark Petition Dark Petition Badlands into Duress reveals nothing that can stop me. Play Petal and Mana Crypt. Crack Petal for B...

The fountain. You entered this dungeon from the south, descending stairs. At the northern end of the stairs was a vestibule with three doors. The northern door leads to the fountain, which has a visible (but largely obscured) field surrounding it. Something is suspended in the field (and some of...

Dorgath checks the shelves, but they're a mess. It's could take a while to sift everything here. The goblins seem to have enthusiastically broken most of the items stored here, but Dorgath's initial search yields an intact jug of water. Revaethan identifies it as a ceremonial ewer holding water...

It occurs to me that I totally blanked on whether Melkor might have any responses that would affect the results of Dream Twist. I thought he was tapped out, but I see that he's not. I should have waited.

Dream Twist hits... Man-o'-War Flame-Kin Zealot Ticking Gnomes

-Tomas casts Ogre Strength on Throg. Now Throg is very strong. -Kelgar blesses himself and Carrow with Vanquish. More attacks! -Dorgath throws a bag of Flash Powder. Even more attacks! -Carrow pincushions a goblin all the way at the end of the room. -Carrow's ace shooting eliminates another...

I was a little lazy with the map, but you get the idea... T=Throg D=Dorgath C=Carrow K=Kelgar Y=Tyresius O=Tomas R=Revaethan S=Squig G=Goblin Squig Hunter

(I forgot to mention, Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz has fully healed him as of the two turns ago.) -The Power Phase is 2 for this turn. Dorgath enters the room to search the broken shelves. Revaethan enters to watch his back. Throg enters looking for something to kill. Carrow has his bow ready...

Oops. Did I forget to send out draws again? I'd been meaning to check on this yesterday and forgot. Can't send new draws until I get back home this evening...

Revaethan will proceed alongside Dorgath into the store room. If Throg enters the room as well, he will fall in behind his armor-clad companions.

Despite my greater interest in formats that apparently no longer warrant mention, my interest is a bit piqued. Magic sets were better back when they were willing to take a risk and print stuff that they might later have to ban. At the very least, maybe bans in Standard are a sign that new sets...

It's difficult to know what to read into and what not to with this stuff. Ultimately, I have thought for a long time now that it is a weird sort of business interest for WotC to give Vintage at least some token form of acknowledgment, but that they don't want to do anything more substantial...
