    Hall of Shame Nominations: Visions

    Yeah, we've been doing it as a worst of each set so far. None of the above make it seem like every card in the set was good. I don't think any set printed has been like that. Certainly not Visions.

    Hall of Shame Voting: Visions

    I voted for Time and Tide. Suleiman's Legacy, like several nominees and winners from past sets, hoses bad cards, but does it really well. Being able to combine it with cards that change creature types makes me wary though. Like Thought Lash, it's a lousy card that has too much potential for me...

    The Year in Vintage: 2008

    I called Time Vault broken. Time Vault is not a deck. WotC rightly restricted Time Vault before the latest erratum because they knew it would be broken too. It should have been obvious. No, I don't think I backed off anything. I don't recall anyone actually having these fears.

    The Year in Vintage: 2008

    Well, I mean, that's accurate. He put it as: "Although Storm combo, currently represented by TPS and Ad Nauseam, might actually be the best deck in Vintage at the moment, decks like this are simply irresistible to Vintage pilots. Mana Drains are currently far and away the most populous engine in...

    Conflux Preview Cards

    I didn't see anything I particularly liked except three of those... Sigil of the Empty Throne: Remember Auratog/Rancor or Claws of Gix/Despondency? While this is expensive, it makes those old tricks even more awesome. Martial Coup: Nifty. A lot of white control decks used to sweep the board...

    The Year in Vintage: 2008

    Scroll to the "November" section. I think it gets quite a mention. Are you saying that because the example decklist was only "piloted to a Finals split..." or something? I think that was just because it was a decklist he liked and that exemplified the archetype. It has won. Edit: I'm sure I...

    Tezzerret the Seeker: Broken?

    Reminds me of how Donate was the worst card in Trix decks. But it was a necessary evil.

    It wasn't me. I was in Washington the whole time.

    Family Guy...

    I do think Family Guy used to be better, once upon a time. But now, yeah, it relies too much on non sequiters.

    my new *edited* Sliver Deck

    Blast from the past! How has it worked out for you? It seems to light on removal to really fall into the aggro-control "Counter-Sliver" archetype. But maybe the idea is more to go straight beatdown with a few removal spells to keep the opponent from stopping you. It seems like you might not get...

    Hall of Shame Vote: Mirage

    I already addressed this, but I'll try one more time. If Malignant Growth had a non-cumulative upkeep cost of 1, you could still let it go at any time. I don't consider being able opt out on an awful card that's helping my opponent to be advantage that significantly improves the card. It's still...
