I don't think those cards will do what you want in an Oath deck.

Are we allowed to use Dragons of Tarkir cards? Because with Narset spoiled, I kind of want to run U/W control with her to see how good she is.

Oh, and you have to finish stacking your deck with Belcher before the game actually ends, there's no quick "I don't care just shuffle them up" button,

The same is true on Magic Online, but your opponent is a bastard if he doesn't just concede once his life total is a negative number. I'm happy you're playing Belcher, it's one of the coolest decks around in Vintage. My advice is that you don't play Time Walk, because it rarely ends up being worthwhile and often gets stuck in your hand.

I lost 2-1 to Viscardus. Turns out that first-turn Trinisphere and mana denial can win games without even playing blue. I had all my hopes on a Devout Witness in Game 3, and she got Dismembered before I could even use her once.

Yeah, I can just recur spellbomb until I find a tasigur, tasigur to draw the rest of my deck, and then just use tasigur to ancestral you 20 times. It actually was locked at that point if you didn't have any disruption (and I had a flusterstorm if you did).

Although if your win condition is letting your opponent draw everything, they can draw everything they might have to fight back. I've learned this lesson from my Lodestone Bauble recursion deck.

Who in the gently caress saw Army of Allah and thought: "this is gonna be worth thousands of dollars someday! I'm going to have this graded!"

Maybe they got it confused with Jihad, which is worth $30 and probably will gradually go up.



Even if Wizards abolishes the reserve list, they will never ever reprint a card named Jihad.

Tomorrow is best. 9:00 pm Mountain Time is the earliest that works for me, unless you want to play at 11:00 am.

I won 2-0 against PhyrexianLibrarian. We had some frustrating problems with xmage, and discovered a noteworthy bug: Creatures cast with colourless mana from Cavern of Souls are still uncounterable, as we found out when his Cavern naming Cat cast an uncounterable Thalia. Take note of that if you're ever running Cavern against a blue deck.

I credit both my wins to Restoration Angel, because a 3/4 with Flash and Flying is bigger than anything that gets hardcast in Vintage, and all my counterspells and card draw let me hold on long enough to start playing them.
