I used to have a book about Vintage from back when the oldest set released was Homelands. It had contributions from I think eight different players each going through their signature deck with some history of the game. There was Brian Weissman with The Deck, I think Henry Stern with Winds of Chains (Winds of Change, Chains of Mephistopheles), Matt Place, Mark Justice, and a few others I just can't remember.
The article on Vercursion, a recursive combo deck involving Verduran Enchantress, Mana Flare, Fast Bond, and Dance of Many was especially cool as it had a history of the very first decks of its type back when you could have four of any card. That's a very specific time period in the history of the game without much written about it. Many of the chapters had similar cool bits of info.

That book sounds awesome, reminds me of the articles in Scrye in the beginning.

Slam Gerrard's Wisdom? I can't imagine the aggressive options in Weatherlight are that good.

what are the two blue cards under lotus and mox sapphire? I almost recognize the art, but drawing a blank for some reason.
Also, were you only allowed to run 2 ofs max? Couple cards I would have run 4of, such as lightning bolt, and cost doesn't seem like it would have been a problem on them either.

It was my first 93-94 deck and I built pretty much what I actually played in 93-94. My second attempt was a B/R Ponza deck (4 Stripmines!) with copper tablets to go with the bolts. It did noticeably better but I don't have a deck pic atm.

Ah yes, ok. My brain expected to see unstable mutations as well if they were flying men, then. The super cheese. U/R/B aggro cheese. Filled with such plays as t1 dark rit into hypnotic specter and t1 flying men, t2 unstable mutation and tons of burn.

Sorry it took so long to answer this, I've been basically off the internet for a couple weeks.
Ruling on mechanics is what I was asking about, I don't understand what LGS drama is. I wasn't referring to any specific question, just wondering how those rulings get made, how they get brought to the attention of magic to make the rulings. I use an app from WotC to find rulings, so I know where to find them. There was a specific case that made me wonder about it, but I can't remember enough details to ask for help about it now. Someone was trying to infinitely trigger an effect to power up a card when it was obvious to me and my command of the english language that it could only be triggered once per turn. They eloquently claimed "Nuh uh!" and we went to the rulings to see if WotC had anything to say about it. Couldn't find anything on that card or any cards with similar effects.
Like I said, it just made me wonder what it would take to get an official ruling. Like, is there a way to submit them to magic, or do they only look at things that come up in major tournaments? This was a friendly game, so no judges available. I wouldn't let them do the infinite powerup because I reasoned that if it was really legal to use the cards contrary to the wording on the card, there'd be a ruling saying so.
