![]() ![]() Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth also seems pretty strong here too. It seems like a solid mana outlet for the deck having Cradle and allows it to have some game against Tabernacle as well. I really like the Hexdrinker variants of this deck. At the end of the event it was Aggro Bazaar that won it all. ![]() Good number of Bazaar decks and some Shops, some Oath, and some Jeskai. Aggro Bazaar decks did very very well, as did Jeskai variants and Combo Shops. Oath was the most popular deck of the event here, and it had a really good win rate overall. You can find all of the Top 32 decklists for this event here and the data sheet here. ![]() This event had 55 players in it thanks to the data collected by the Vintage Streamer's Discord. The first Challenge event of the weekend was the mid afternoon Saturday event. ![]() This card has definitely been at the forefront of a lot of different formats lately, so it is no surprise to see it doing well in Vintage too. When your floor is pitching to nearly every best pitch spell in the format, there is something to think about when the major upsides of the card are so pronounced. At its most bare downside of the card, it can be pitched to multiple Forces, evoke Elementals like Solitude and even Grief. Atraxa bypasses those cards without issue and provides a strong amount of card selection to go along with it. It is exceptionally important to also recognize that one of the bigger reasons Griselbrand has had some level of issues in eternal formats it is legal in has been due to the presence of cards like Hullbreacher or Narset, Parter of Veils. There are a lot of comparisons to Griselbrand with this card for sure, where drawing seven by paying seven life isn't always terrible in Vintage, but not having to pay life and having a 7/7 lifelink creature with vigilance and the card selection effect is a very strong thing to do be doing with your big creature.įurthermore, this card could actually stand to benefit more than just the Oath of Druids decks in general, it could actually allow us to see something like Reanimator or Show and Tell based decks in the format as well. The amount of card selection here is pretty great all around. A good majority of Vintage decks are playing six to seven different card types (Artifact, Creature, Land, Planeswalker, Instant, Sorcery, and sometimes Enchantment for things like Oath of Druids) to where a large amount of time you will be able to select five to six cards off of this effect. Ten cards is a lot of cards to dig through to get a reasonable amount of card selection out of this effect. The biggest aspect of this card is the sheer amount of cards it looks at. On the surface glance this is definitely a weird card to grok, especially in a hyper efficient format like Vintage. We've seen people trying out cards like Mercurial Spelldancer to some great effect, but one of the standouts of the crowd is Atraxa, Grand Unifier. The release of Phyrexia: All Will Be One has provided some new and interesting cards to the Vintage metagame. Without further ado, let's dive right in. In addition to that we've got two Challenge events to talk about! Howdy folks! It's time yet again for another edition of Vintage 101! I'm your host, Joe Dyer, and this week we are going to be talking about some of the interesting deckbuilding coming out of Phyrexia: All Will Be One and most specifically focusing on the usage of Atraxa, Grand Unifier. ![]()
