I finished vintage last year after a few years of trading. It involved some market tricks like buying and selling the same cards as they rose and lowered in price based on tournament seasons, and the deck I built only runs 6 of the power 9.

Mox Opal wasn’t printed till 2010 and topped out at around $80 bucks.

He might have had one of the ABU moxen.

The entire clip was dominated by my anxiety for all that electronic equipment out in the rain.

I was never super into Dan Aykroyd, but I will say that at least he never saddled us with a Shop Girl or a Broken Flowers.

This is cool, I was hoping someone would do a roomscale VR Chinese Room game.

(Chinese Room being a thought experiment about artificial intelligence.)

You’re forgetting Battlestar Galactica.

Gta4 was NYC, so your apartment probably isn’t in Watch Dogs 2's San Francisco.

I traded into the power 9 recently. All of them are well loved cards, but when I got my Sapphire it was pristine. I shrugged, double sleeved it, and stuck it in the deck.

I actually traded away legacy lands to get into vintage. Now I have one deck that’s worth around 12k that I’m always pretty nervous carrying with me... or leaving at home.

This was one of the books my pearl clutching catholic mom wouldn’t let me read at school so I had to read a different book instead of the one the whole class read.

Was it good?

P.S. The alternate book I was assigned Tom’s Midnight Garden was pretty great so I never held a grudge.

The plane it was set on is Innistrad, the first Innistrad block was gothic horror. Elsewhere in the MTG lore is a ancient entity known as Emrakul, which definitely had Lovecraftian influences.

They decided to mash things up this time by bringing Emrakul to Innistrad. It even ends with Emrakul being trapped in…

I got it and I’ve already dumped a whole weekend into it. It escapes the follies of many chore simulators by getting you attached to characters and making you weave stories for them in your head.

Be sure to name everyone.

Reverse uncanny valley, when the physical costume looks more CGI than the CGI character.

No luck findin them swans then?

So small that finding a planet already named will feel cool in its own right.

I hear there’s a near infinite amount of planets, so I’ll be naming planets after each of my personal failings.

It wasn’t eligible, since the RL is only rares. Serra Angel is uncommon.

I got to roll up with a no-proxy deck for the first time recently. However I was playing the entire time I worked up to it, so I split for top 4. But I did feel like that due to my relative inexperience with Vintage (but plenty of experience in the cheaper formats)

Yeah, the power creep. OMG, lightning bolt is too powerful for standard. Mana dorks for G are too powerful for standard we have to print them at 1G now. Preordain and ponder are too powerful. I’m clutching my pearls.

a NM version of the cheapest legal printing of Black Lotus marked up 5000% would be like 31 million dollars.
