Just wanted to let you know Standstill is still used in Landstill Vintage decks. Its a great card so I'm not surprised. This site lists a very expensive, but decently effective Vintage deck. What I like about it is that it doesn't use the 11/11 or 15/15 to win or the infinite turn combos; just slowly beats the opponent to death with Mishra's factories while using a ton of blue to stop the opponent from doing anything. www.starcitygames.com/magic/vintage/23040_MythBusters_Is_Vintages_Speed_At_A_Standstill.html

That works on more or less the same principle as my Landstill deck, except it's way, way better. I had to fill my deck up with a bunch of crap to make it to 60 cards since I don't have any of the real expensive stuff, and I'm missing some of the other things too. Also, I rely heavily on Nevinyrral's Disk, but that's because I play in multiplayer and therefore slower games. Vintage tends to be pretty light on creatures normally, except those decks that Tinker in the ridiculous huge stuff.

Understandable your missing a lot of the deck they use as its well over $2000 on a good day lol. Power aside even just getting the 3 Jaces, the Library of Alexandria, and the Volcanic Islands would run you several hundred dollars on their own.

I wouldn't use the planeswalker anyway just on general principle, but the rest of it would still hurt the pocketbook quite a bit.

I need all the Crucibles I have and then some, so I can't help you there. No Standstills for trade, but I have them to lend if you like. Likewise with Lightning Bolts.
I have never known anyone who has owned a Mana Drain. I suppose I can give you back the Mishra's Factory you gave me (you did just give it, right?) if you want.
I'm sure I have a Pyroblast somewhere.
Underground Sea is not one of the dual lands that I have. And the ones that I do have aren't tradeable anyway.
The rest of the cards I'm not familiar with so I know I don't have them.

Oh well, it's not critical. The deck is playable now, those would just improve it.

I found 4 Hasran Ogress and 3 Sengir Bats that you can have next time I see you. Man, I forgot how ugly the picture for Hasran Ogress is.
I might have some Telepathys as well, but if so they're in the unsorted box I have and I need to track them down.
