So, uh, anyone like Vintage?

[TubeHunter]

vintage is fucking awesome

[Helios]

I played for the first time Monday night, and it was soooooo fun.

[TubeHunter]

what did you play?

[Helios]

Tezz v. Grixis. I was playing Tezz. We copied the lists straight from the Vintage Championships site and went to town. I've never played a more complex game of Magic.

[RaidaTheBlade]

I've got a standard gpt this weekend o.o

Also, I may have just bought FF6 on my vita, and might be getting sucked into it...
Ad I'm not srue if I regret my imminent loss of social life...

What's a social life?

What level do I have to be to get one?

Don't ask me, my social life has withered to the point of just being FNM and talking to y'all, god help me.

[Sasky]

Melira Pod is fun. I like Scapeshift, personally

I really hate the format, but yeah, Melira Pod is the most appealing to me.

I don't understand how you can like standard and hate modern.

Melira is a better deck than Kiki in many ways, but it does have a much steeper learning curve.

[zemanjaski]

I don't care much for Standard either, but I have to play it. I don't have to play modern.

[Helios]

Just say no. Play Vintage instead.

Just got fully caught up on The Walking Dead.

Damn good show.

pretty sure they fired the director that did the first season and it went hella downhill from there

nuwens read the comics so her opinion is pretty valuable

[Kazekirimaru]

If you can afford Vintage there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't just play Vintage and only Vintage forever.

[Jack]

Tezz v. Grixis. I was playing Tezz. We copied the lists straight from the Vintage Championships site and went to town. I've never played a more complex game of Magic.

Care to do a bit of a write-up in the Vintage forums? There's a few guys that play at my shop, and I've always wanted to just proxy up a list and start a game with them.

[Helios]

I've literally only played 3 Vintage games in the history of ever, so I wouldn't exactly be qualified to make authoritative statements on Vintage. My experience is that it was incredibly complex, despite being completely busted.

[Jack]

That's 3 more than I have.

[Helios]

Lol, I'll see what I can do.

The comics are sweet, but as someone who is into both, I'd have to say I prefer the show simply because the characters (specifically ones that aren't in the comic, I think you know who I mean) are much, much better.

[zemanjaski]

burthing

Not budge caj enough tho.

[Lightning_Dolt]

There's a Modern GPT next weekend at my LGS. It's probably going to be filled with Standard decks. I was going to go and play Pod, but my wife has a prior engagement.

Doesn't that mean you're free?

[LP, of the Fires]

I think pod is supposed to play 2 melira's. I don't play the deck though so #speculation.

[Alex]

Orzhov Pontiff is also hella sweet. Whoa. I have never seen that card before.

Looks pretty stock, which is a good thing.

[zemanjaski]

I think it's 72/75 stock yeah.

[LP, of the Fires]

What're the relevant matchups like? Twin/Jund/Affinity/UWR?

[zemanjaski]

Jund and UWR are favourable.

Twin is pretty even.

Affinity is unfavourable.

[Sasky]

I think 3 dismembers are a little too much. Get a kataki in there instead. Or fracturing gust. Something to improve the affinity matchup.

All aggro and midrange decks are actually favorable for you. At least it felt that way for the few months I played this deck. Affinity is harder but I won't call it unfavorable. Any combo deck is a tough matchup. Tron is average-ish, with games feeling completely one-sided going either way, depending on draws. UWR is not as favorable as you think.

[zemanjaski]

I'm running 4 voice, not 2. It's very favourable.

[Kaitscralt]

you're right, not budge caj enough, cut 4 burthing, add 4 mountain

[Kaitscralt]

I thought your PM to me said you were running 4 Call of the Conclave because Voice is only a 2/2

[Kaitscralt]

Because searching up a 1 drop makes your version of the deck busted 'the likes of which has never before been seen and will never be seen again'

[Kaitscralt]

'But Zem,' I cried, 'You can search up a 1 drop with your Voice token after searching up a 3 drop'

'That's true,' Zem admitted, 'But I would have to wait a turn'

[zemanjaski]

:')

Bravo sir.

Bravo.

Otherwise this looks good but I would try saving up for some Voices

[Kaitscralt]

I remember when Modern first came out, mono blue Faeries was a thing, and carried me to many victories

[zemanjaski]

Just saw the prices of Voices. If only I played for a pro team - alas I cannot afford these cards
