So they have started doing annual Vintage in the UK and last time I borrowed a deck and had a great time, over 40 people playing. There was a fairly decent cash prize for winning with an extra prize for highest placing without using any copies of some of the mega expensive cards like Power 9 etc.
This time I want to go with something I own though, and was looking at the decks that got played. A lot of them were combo (dredge, belcher, etc) or slow decks that play Mentor and I was thinking a fair counter to that would be a deck that was able to vomit out a ton of cheap creatures and beat face.
