==History==
==History==
Vintage dates its existence to the 1995 separation of sanctioned constructed tournaments into "Type I" and "Type II" (the latter is now called [[Standard]]). It was sometimes called '[[Classic]]' (a name later re-used for the ''[[Sixth Edition]]'' [[Core Set]] in 1999 <ref>{{NewRef|making-magic/25-more-random-things-about-magic-2016-06-20|25 More Random Things About Magic|[[Mark Rosewater]]|June 20, 2016}}</ref> and a similar constructed format in [[Magic Online]]) from 1997 until 2000, when the name Vintage was formally endorsed at the [[Magic Invitational]]. Vintage's restricted list was used as the banned list for a format called "Type 1.5" or "Classic-Restricted". In September 2004, the two lists were uncoupled, and Type 1.5's new banned list became the basis of the renamed format of [[Legacy]]. Vintage debuted in Magic Online concurrent with the release of the [[Vintage Masters]] digital [[compilation set]] in 2014, replacing Classic.

Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must contain no more than fifteen cards.
 
Except for [[basic land]] cards, a player's combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.

Vintage, originally known as Type 1 or Type I, is an eternal format that allows for the use of almost all printed cards, save Acorn cards and/or having a non-Standard Magic back (other than Double-Faced Card/Meld Card), as well as certain cards banned for causing problems in sanctioned tournaments.[1] Additionally, several cards are restricted to a maximum of one copy between a player's deck and sideboard due to their power. These include the Power Nine, which are not allowed in any other tournament format. The deck-building rules common to all Constructed formats apply in Vintage.

History

Vintage dates its existence to the 1995 separation of sanctioned constructed tournaments into "Type I" and "Type II" (the latter is now called Standard). It was sometimes called 'Classic' (a name later used for the Sixth Edition Core Set in 1999 [2] and a similar constructed format in Magic Online) from 1997 until 2000, when the name Vintage was formally endorsed at the Magic Invitational. Vintage's restricted list was used as the banned list for a format called "Type 1.5" or "Classic-Restricted". In September 2004, the two lists were uncoupled, and Type 1.5's new banned list became the basis of the renamed format of Legacy. Vintage debuted in Magic Online concurrent with the release of the Vintage Masters digital compilation set in 2014, replacing Classic.

Deck construction

Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must contain no more than fifteen cards.

Except for basic land cards, a player's combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.
