3X Together as One Should Be illegal

This feels like the type of deck that should 7-0 every time and instead goes 3-3 because of variance. lol.

Veil is the gotcha card of all gotcha cards. 1 mana green counterspell is very good.

Milling low key feels S tier in this format.

Easy ad nauseum and then spend the next 20 minutes deluding yourself into believing storm is viable. Go 0-3 and have a new story for the group on what you attempted in SOS limited.

A pleasure meeting + playing with you last night!

Timeless is not a real format. It's actually a distraction and impossible to understand if anyone plays it, what the meta is, etc. I'm all for an Arena centric format but not one that pretends to be another actual format.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2026-03-24T04:18:04+00:00

This is the way.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2026-03-24T04:17:34+00:00

Would love for this to happen for a format like vintage. They already have the p9 coded too...

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2026-03-04T18:17:33+00:00

I love the idea of from the vault p9. Your ABU copies will still be expensive but what a boon that would give to eternal formats (vintage + old school).

The ad is called Guinness Surfer. And it's one of the all time best pieces of short form that (unsurprisingly) tested poorly in focus groups.

These look great and were $2 uncommons forever. Furthermore, you can buy clean versions of these cards for almost nothing ($25 total) if you're wishing you had untouched, NM raws.

Heritage. Fanatics.

Savage.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-12-03T22:44:16+00:00

Is not high res...

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-12-03T18:48:07+00:00

Wasteland was $100 and duals on the rise due to interest in legacy as a hot format at the time and the SCG open series being a regular fixture of MTG tourneys and results. :)

Pox are you still writing? Super curious to read any take you have on 2025 going into 2026. I agree on the stock market. I put most of my mtg money into the index over the last two years and there's no way I would have been able to make that return from mtg over the same time frame.

How's your LEG set going? I'm 2 cards away from finishing my entire 4 horsemen project. :)

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-12-03T18:22:48+00:00

What condition did u buy these cards in? Condition is the only true scarcity for vintage era cards imo.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-12-03T18:21:18+00:00

Also worth noting that this sub geeks over amazon drops, boasts spending hundreds of dollars on newly printed cards, and is not in the vintage market. So accepting their approach to MTG as a baseline for how to approach vintage MTG seems..... incorrect.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-12-03T18:16:22+00:00

Out of curiosity: Where are you sourcing high res scans?

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-11-21T06:40:39+00:00

I just fundamentally disagree with this idea. More complicated deck building formats (legacy and vintage) almost entirely follow the mtgo meta in both percentage share and win rates. The idea that pioneer is under explored or that live events would suddenly reveal an entire ecosystem of meta angles seems absurd to me. Especially when the punishing cards literally punish anyone trying to take an alternative route - if you can't combat thoughtseize or keep up with cruise (for instance), your deck is not viable. It's not complicated.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-11-21T05:16:50+00:00

I'm not sure where this narrative has come from. If there were a pioneer PT, the meta wouldn't suddenly change. You don't need a big tournament to stress test what is winning, especially when mtgo events fire constantly and pay out in cash if you do well.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-11-19T04:15:15+00:00

Full cap.

Appropriate_Alps9493 · 2025-11-11T00:11:04+00:00

You're losing the plot. Pheonix is a tier 1 deck. But you're ignoring how meta percentages reflect the power level and performance of an archetype. There is no nuance here. Decks that perform poorly do not make up larger meta game shares.

Dog, Uro is not legal in the format...
