did you know only two people know the formula to coke and by company policy they cannot fly on the same plane? also coke is the only company in the us to have permission to import the coca plant...
I'll let coke know that their secret formula should be shared.
Ditto for KFC.
etc, etc, etc
Business have secrets. Some are silly. Some are important. Some are inexplicable. Whatever. Sometimes people know bits of them and choose not to go into details. It's a call that everyone has to make when they know something. In this case, what I know is very very little. *shrug*
privied information is for the privy, transparency makes the world a better place(well personal life stuff I think is reasonable to be kept private for obvious reasons) but as far as the businesses that we as consumers invest in and patronize, as far as i'm concerned they shouldn't have anything to hide, and if they do it's just another reason to have less faith in their organization.
I like Block too Windcoarse but it seems that the majority wants to read Singleton and Core Set. I will definately write more than a few articles about ZEN Block but apparently not next week.
By the way, as I said in the article, a Core Set filter for deck building would be great.
The Poll:
Block - 1
Std Pauper - 1
Core Set - 5
Std Singleton - 7
Standard - 1
Even if block doesn't seem to be holding up in the running for your poll, I'd like to see some block articles from you in the future. It hasn't been covered much yet, and it's always nice to get insights on a fresh format. I would find it interesting to see what people are playing and what your take on the format is.
So far I think vamps and RW Bushwhacker look promising, but time will tell. Thanks for the article!
And that is precisely why I don't play Classic, very well put. Katastrophe has a very eloquent counter argument below but I think you said it best. I hope someday to not have the constraints of a budget (or even have a budget that is a bit more reasonable) but while I do I will have to play other formats. I do have a UG deck that does reasonably well against lock/combo style decks but in general Classic Good decks just roll over it.
I've been mucking around with a deck that YOU have devised with some great success in the 2 man queues as a counter-dredge strategy.
I forgot what cereal name you called it, cinnimon toast crunch? relatively affordable, doesn't run FoW and completely relevant in the current meta. Only thing I run into issues is against Zoo 'cause I don't have much a board against them, but they're merely a blip on the radar.
I used to play standard & extended quite a bit due to what I perceived as cost. Quickly I realized with set rotation that it is MUCH MUCH more cost effective to make the leap into classic for constructed play. I scrapped together a cheapo Pox deck and now the collection is brimming with bling. Burn (the version I run with mog fanatics & spark/hellspark elementals to remove bridge from below) & Pox (just black) are cheap & viable.
once again it is not all turn 1 or turn 2 wins that is a misconception.....
vintage also does not end turn 1 or 2 though at the risk of sounding redundant.
it can and does happen but less often
a game usually goes some length of turns
god you people kill me if all games ended on turn 1 or 2 no one would play the format
the only decks that do have that capability: belcher,ANT,ichorid and the classic storm.
there are answers for those decks or otherwise it would be useless to play anything else and everyone would just play combo untill they were bored
So what's the contest?
Correct!
I suspect we've read the exact same cracked.com article. :D
Yes.
His UW Fish deck top8s run playsets of Force of Will.
it was a toy plane, I crashed it right into a car and like the thing caught on fire, it was kinda funny. My friend was all pissed at me tho lol.
Now that was chuckle worthy :D

Lotus Cobra is a pretty bad card though
Only 2 misconceptions in Classic. Guess that's pretty ok lol.
I fail miserably at piloting, once I crashed a plane!
while i apreciate it sir it twas not me, but another highly skilled classic pilot.

Whoops, I thought this was a penguin article due to the classic-naturedness. My apologies for the misnomer

is on the guy who knows something he shouldn't talk about publicly and doesn't even mention that he knows about it
