Although this is P9, I seldom see it in any decklist. I'm trying to get into Vintage (at least 10proxy) and I want to know why this is unpopular. I understand that risking your opponents drawing a fresh hand is bad, but is this good if you've emptied your hand, e.g. in some kind of Storm/TPS deck?
It doesn't play nicely with the many decks which benefit from the graveyard, and it especially doesn't play nicely with Yawgmoth's Will.
Alright, thank you.
He hasn't logged on in the past 19 hours, so that kind of hinders our playing ability.
If he does come on we'll play it out, but I do have an engagement for some part of this evening, unfortunately.
Did you ever hear anything from him? I've PMed him to let him know of my availability, so hopefully he reappears before next Wednesday...
Except that in the formats where Lackey sees play, this can also easily be powered out on Turn 1, what with Lotus Petals, Rites of Flame, Moxen, etc...
A proper Goblins deck isn't going to waste space on accel, at least not if it wants to win.
Not that I'm dissing on Vintage but doesn't it seem sort of tedious that all top tier decks run the same cards? I mean at least 20-30 cards are used in all decks so with just a few minor changes you are playing the same deck repetitively. Maybe I'm missing something so if you could enlighten me it would be appreciated.
Just because some decks use the same cards does not mean that the game plan is remotely similar.
A big chunk of the repetitive cards are due to the manabases, and the same statement could be stated about the Vivids + Pools manabases in Standard.
However, it's pretty sad that the weakest new arts are for the strongest cards. Necro and Tinker have pretty terrible art, especially compared to the original.
Considering that its nickname was "The Skull" for the longest time, you'd think that they'd have atleast made the new art similar to the original art on Necropotence.
Confirmed. Brutal beatings

No response yet...
Ditto. Jinx has been on but isn't responding to my PMs.

Ditto. G1 goes exactly how I wanted it to, then I get creamed fast in G2, and then in G3 I draw trash and lose.
Maybe next time.

This will be Lackey #5-6 at most.

Err, Braingeyser and Mind Spring would like to have a word with you. While not identical, It's pretty close to being a reprint.
Please please, with sugar and spice, be a functional reprint of Bazaar of Baghdad.
Plus, that would make all sorts of sense with Delve.
Tarmogoyf disagrees with you.
