I can't believe people are upset at this. If this draft format is anything like MMA I'm going to be psyched! They could do vintage master PTQs online like they do MMA, vintage daily events, it could be awesome. Vintage is basically dead IRL, so moving it to the matrix is the best option short of abolishing the reserve list (won't ever happend :()
Of those 3 you mentioned, the only way we'll see them is judge foils. Something on the price of imperial seal has never been done though, so I'm not even sure they'd do it. I could see ravages of war and rolling earthquake at some point, since they did imperial recruiter. Problem is, none of those 2 see play outside of the occasional commander and in cubes that include P3K, so there isn't a lot of demand. And they only get 8 judge foils a year, so I'm sure they're low on the list of candidates.
If what the developers are saying about the game is true, it will be the best game ever created. Dark souls 2 is the first time I'm ever going to get a collectors edition day 1. From can't have enough of my money, I feel like I cheated them when I only paid 9 bucks for the first :p.
@itsover, that bonfire is just awesome! The colors are stunning, I loved that scene.
Just won an 8-4 with mono blue and staff. A lot of the times you can't attack with fliers even though they can't block because of a counter swing, the staff gives you so much life over the course of the game that it's actually possible to attack every turn. Makes cards like time ebb better since you don't care about what they've already played.
I've also had success with the black and green staffs. They let you race or stall like crazy.
Befoul is a good cut, Sinkhole is really nice, it's good in aggressive black decks and is a cheap answer to problematic lands for black in other decks.
I like all of these latest round of changes, all are fine choices. Except scion of vitu ghazi, I would not include that card over geist honored monk, monk is ETB abusable (lark, nightmare, blink, etc) and that makes is much nicer than being able to randomly get a bigger token. It's even the same size if you have one other creature when you cast him, and he has vigilance.
Ankh of Mishra is always good in aggro decks, I'm surprised that you see it as expendable. An early ankh can be just as good as an early black vise in my experience.
I also cut ring of gix recently, the echo on it is just too much nowadays. Though it was always one of my favorites
Here's a Terramorphic/Evolving variant that trades card disadvantage in exchange for keeping your tempo. I figure decks that want extra landfall, shuffling, or fixing might be willing to let their opponent get an extra land.
Leyline Nexus
Land
T, Sacrifice Leyline Nexus: Each player searches their library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield, then shuffles their library.
I wouldn't play it in my cube, but that could be a sweet land for EDH and multiplayer cubes!
Parallel Landscape
Land
Parallel Landscape comes into play tapped unless you pay 3 life. T: Search your library for two land cards, reveal them, and exile them with two suspend counters. Shuffle your library afterwards.

If only kindle was cubable! That game was so fantastic, easily top 3 games I've ever played.
Yeah, imagine being on the play and casting this seeing 2 lands and some spells in their hand. Busted.

I understand your frustration, but this thread and public forum might not be the best place to talk about the situation.
Best regards,

Also, congrats on your PHD!
