L’inventor es Paul Mastriano, un yankee colega del Semmendian; rallats de jugar sempre Vintage van crear aquesta modalitat del Magic. Es tracta d’un format casual altament broken i divertit on podras jugar els efectes i criatures mes poderosos.

Les regles.
Te dues regles basiques que son: nomes pots jugar un spell per torn (limited) pero sempre tens mana infinit (infinity). Obviament, tots els spells que tinguin una X al cost i que siguin un efecte massa bestia estan prohibits. Per exemple, el Fireball esta prohibit, pero en canvi el Heat ray no.

Una vegada tens aixo et pots preguntar… que passa si tenim dues habilitats que tenen efectes contraris infinitament? L’exemple classic es el de la Masticore contra una criatura que es regenera. Doncs la solucio es que prevaleix l’habilitat defensiva.

Com es comença a jugar?
Primer de tot necessitem montar les baralles, i ho farem mitjançant un Solomon Draft si som mes de 2 jugadors.

• Es posa el doble de cartes (cara amunt) del nombre de jugadors de la partida (4 jugadors, 8 cartes).
• S’escull a l’atzar el que picara primer, se segueix clockwise i a l’arribar a l’ultim jugador per picar, s’inverteix l’ordre.
• A l’acabar la ronda, es posen mes cartes sobre la taula i comença a picar el que en la ronda anterior picava segon; aixi fins draftejar la baralla sencera (40 cartes?), has de jugar totes les cartes que piquis.

Un exemple de que pot passar en una partida.
Es un torn d’una partida que van jugar a les GenCon ’07: Smennycackes, Mastriano, Brian Demars, Mark Biller (GenCon champ 05′) i Hazard (no se el nom real).

Jugadors de Stacks… beware!! Potser no aguantareu l’exces d’informacio XD

Here’s the board state: It’s about fourth turn.

There are five of us.

Brian Demars has in play Glarecaster and the Dragonsword (the equipment thingie) and has a full grip. Brian is at 20.

To his left, Mark Biller has in play an Illusionary Mask, Jushi Apprentice (flipped and active), a face down creature with a million mask counters on it, and two Blast From the Bast tokens (Biller has been drawing with Blast From the Past and Jushi Apprentice). Mark is at 18.

To his left, Matt Hazard has the Green Myojin and Privileged Position in play. Matt is at 20.

Paul Mastriano has in play: Bringer of the Black Dawn, Survival of the Fittest, and has just cast Metathran Aerostat. Paul is at 12 life. Paul has been using his Bringer. Paul has also Survivaled Genesis and Glory into his graveyard.

To his left, I am sitting in play with a flipped Root Elemental which put into play a Crowd Favorites. I have a morphed Krosan Colossus. I am at 20 life.

It’s my turn (Smennycackes)

I untap draw Mindslaver and play it. I want to kill Paul with it.

Now the crap hits the fan.

Brian plays Commandeer.

In response, Paul activates Metathran Aerostat, returning it to his hand and putting into play Riptide Shapeshifter.

He Survivals the Aerostat to find Phage.

Paul sacrifices Riptide Shapeshifter naming “minion.” He flips into Chainer.

Paul uses Chainer to bring back Riptide Shapeshifter and names “Beast.”

Paul flips over Mischievious Quanar with the intent of copying Commondeer to take the Mindslaver.

Paul activates it to turn it over. In response, Mark Biller plays the Split Second red card that steals a creature.

Mark activates the Quanar.

In response, Brian plays the red Channel card that cycles to deal X damage to all non-flying creatures.

Mark flips over Protean Hulk!!!!!

Mark finds: Dimir Doppleganger and Voidmage Apprentice.

Mark uses the Doppleganger to remove the Incarnations from Paul’s GY and then uses the Voidmage Apprentice to counter Brian’s Commondeer, still on the stack.

Finally, my turn ends.
