Stiflenought
There are very few things more horrendous than seeing a Stifle played by your enemy. One of them is to see only spells played by that very opponent in the […]
Landstill
Imagine a world in which you can beat your opponent without casting spells by using lands. A world in which the player facing you will give you a free Ancestral […]
Doomsday
Doomsday is such a great and fun deck to play, you will probably wonder why are you not playing it instead of all the other possible lists in the Old […]
Decks & Archetypes in Old Frame Vintage
The Old Frame Vintage format started from a need in collectors of Magic the Gathering cards printed with the old frame design and colours. We wanted to give actual play […]
Sligh
Combine cheap and powerful red creatures like Grim Lavamancer, Jackal Pup and a Taiga-powered Kird Ape with all the burn spells you can afford. Lightning Bolt is the obvious first choice. ARTIFACTS 1 Mox Ruby 2 Null […]
4-Color Dreadnought
The deck may be called 4-Color Dreadnought, but we all know that deep down it’s still the colourless 12/12 artifact that seals the deal. We just need to make sure […]
Ghoulnought
In Ghoulnought we use Reanimate to bring Sutured Ghoul to the battlefield, on top of having the usual Phyrexian Dreadnought + Stifle combo as another win condition. Because a 12/12 is nice, but a potential 48/48 (or 52 with […]
Fish
A tempo deck that uses small and cheap creatures and “manlands” to beat you while your spells are taken care of by the disruption caused by Daze, Force of Will, […]
Reap
What is the point of using Distorting Lens in a competitive Magic the Gathering deck? Well, Reap is the point. Turn your opponent’s permanents black and soon you will card advantage your way to […]
High Tide
What’s bluer than blue? High Tide! Let all those Islands surge with power and cast all the expensive spells you want until you have a win condition like Brain Freeze. […]
Keeper
The son of The Deck the original control deck by Brian Weissman and probably the strongest control deck ever, Keeper is still an amazing option in the Old Frame Vintage format for those who prefer to react to […]
Stax
Stax is also known as Prison Control, and that probably gives everything away. Guess what, if you face this deck and it gets ahead of you, you really feel like you are […]
The Perfect Storm (TPS)/Tendrils
Best of the combo decks? So good that makes Old Frame Vintage an unplayable format? TPS (short for The Perfect Storm) has been a nightmare for many players since the […]
Reanimator
The Reanimator archetype in the Vintage Old Frame format is a strategy that seeks to put powerful creatures into play as quickly as possible, reanimating them from the graveyard to […]
Turbo Dragon

Stompy
The perpetual rival of Sligh for the crown of the traditional aggro decks in the Old Frame Vintage format, Stompy uses bigger and stronger creatures and spells to grow them even bigger instead of trying to […]
Tools and Tubbies (“TnT”)
Oh, Tools and Tubbies, what a deck it is! Combine powerful Artifact spells, some of them creatures, cast easily with Mishra’s Workshops and the possibility to get other creatures once […]
