Vintage has a card pool of perhaps 60-70 cards - the best and the broken. Maybe a bit more if you have to include all the duals and fetchlands. It's not balanced, it's just overpowered. There are thousands of cards you just *can't* use if you want to win - you either conform or you die.
And you've acquired this information through countless hours playing Vintage? Oh, well then I'll shut up. Because it's obvious that you have the experience in the format to tell me that it's not fun or balanced at all, and that the cardpool is incredibly restricted. I humble myself before you.

Also, a game win on turn one or two is not fun. I don't like sitting there watching you combo out for ten minutes, and I doubt you would like to sit there and watch *me* combo out. Interactivity is limited to a Mind Twist for your hand or a FoW or Mana Drain so you can keep comboing out.
There are currently about two decks in the Vintage environment that can win on turn 1. The most notable is 2-3 land Belcher which is so RIDICULOUSLY inconsistent it never sees play.

Not only that but the money you have to put into it is ridiculous, even if there are 10 proxy tournaments, you have to spend over $100 in most cases just to get the non-proxy cards all together, and then you probably still have to spend $80 on a playset of Force of Will or something.
You're right, I'll stick to buying Witnesses, Birds, Wrath, Kukosho, Cranial Extraction, etc etc.
So in other news, my friend Megan decided she doesn't like how I post vague things in my LJ. I've told her repeatedly that if she doesn't like the way I post in LJ, she doesn't have to read mine. Apparently, she thinks I'm seeking attention. I quite frankly don't care if I get comments on a random vague entry like that. In fact, I don't care if anyone comments at all. I treat my LJ as a pen-and-paper journal, and when there's something I don't want others to see, it's a private entry. I didn't think this was a hard thing to comprehend, but I guess I was wrong?
The way I figure it is: you know what you're talking about and the people involved know what you're talking about, everyone who doesn't know what it's supposed to mean, obviously don't need to, so they can stfu.
Hm...I ruled out walkign throught walls right away because even if you could you could not prevent yourself from being arrested so it would not be much good.
Then it comes down to Flying and being Invisible. Flying would be awesome, yes, but being Invisible seems to have more uses.
Plus, with invisibility, you wouldn't have a bunch of people *****ing at you to save them with your superpower all the time.
Oh, and another thing. Alex called today, and said we got our school schedules for next year in today(he got mine out of my mailbox, illegally ;))---we have 3 classes together. Not lunch, unfortunately, but English, Honors Creative Writing, and Contemporary Issues, all together Only one more year of highschool....then college. Together. In the greatest city in the world, New York. What more could I ask for?

Awww. Fine fine. You're turning your back on the most balanced and fun format in magic though.
Soooooo, you've never played Vintage?

Ah yes, but I was hiding under my covers as that happened.
Blaspheme! Rain is awesome! I miss it. Back home, it rains every friggin day, and I only have seen a light sprinkle since I've gotten here. BAH!

But don't they all end in sex?

Yah, the gym is $50 a month though. So I just look at it from the window and pine.
Yeah, you better. And it came with a USB adapter, so I can play Stepmania with it. WORSHIP ME.
