I don't remember it before Ice Age, but for the most part the format was very different from what it is today. While I certainly enjoyed that, watching people play Type I was a different experience, it was completely mesmerizing.Īt the time, Type I was pretty close to what you would call Old School these days.

I found drafting and playing Sealed Deck to be a lot of fun and, lacking the funds to acquire Power, mostly occupied my time with these endeavors. However, most of the Magic scene was extremely competitive and thus the focus was mostly on Draft and the Constructed formats that mattered at the moment. In the place where I started playing there were always a few Type I players around. For me Vintage, or Type I as it used to be called, has always been the ultimate mythical experience in Magic.
