Staple Vintage Cards:

Hey all, as a casual Vintage Free-For-All player I'd like to compile a list of sample cards that everyone should have. When I'm looking through trade binders I always see cards I like, but what should I be chasing down?
(this is probably going to be a big laundry list, but I want it to be comprehensive 📝)

Power 9 (holy grail)
{Black Lotus}
Moxen
{Time Walk}
{Time Twister}
{Ancestral Recall}

{Swords to Plowshares}
{Dark Ritual}
{Lightning Bolt}
{Path to Exile}
{Sakura-Tribe Elder}
{Howling Mine}
{Birds of Paradise}
{Wrath of God}
{Nevinyrral's Disk}
{Damnation}
{Cabal Coffers}
{Tolarian Academy}
{Gaea's Cradle}
Original Dual lands
Shock lands
Fetch lands
Swords

What else?

Right! I need some {Enlightened Tutors}.

I might end up making this into a "Decklist" for convenience. 

Also, good 1v1 cards are appreciated, but especially group stuff. 😁

{Armageddon} is fun for multiplayer. Lol

Haha, I have one and it's never leaving the binder. Mass LD in general bugs me. I'll only ever do it if I know I can end the game.

{Anvil of Bogarden}??  I've never heard of it, but it looks awesome!

I know ctrln uses it. I don't suggest using it unless you've got a Megrim type deck.

I run it in a madness deck.  The deck fills up the GY for {demigod of revenge} and {tombstalker}.  It is the only deck I built that can use {avatar of discord} effectively.

Kuberr

How did we forget {Show and tell}?

Kuberr

{Fork}
{Fireball}
{Kird Ape}
{City of Brass}

How is {reverberate} any different?
