Vintage MtG — Mirror Shops vs. Paradoxical Oath
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 10/07/2019

In Mirror Shops, the idea is to get out Dark Depths and either Thespian's Stage or Mirage Mirror, either of which can create a Marit Lage token before the opponent can beat you fairly. By contrast, lock pieces keep the opponent from beating you in the meantime.
Here's the list that I made for Mirror Shops:
Artifacts (25)
1 Black Lotus
2 Chromatic Lantern
2 Expedition Map
1 Mana Crypt
4 Mirage Mirror
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Sol Ring
3 Sorcerous Spyglass
4 Sphere of Resistance
1 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Time Vault
1 Trinisphere
Creatures (2)
1 Blightsteel Colossus
1 Lodestone Golem
Instants (7)
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Ancient Grudge
1 Demonic Consultation
3 Thirst for Knowledge
1 Vampiric Tutor
Sorceries (2)
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Tinker
Lands (24)
4 Dark Depths
1 Inventors' Fair
4 Mana Confluence
4 Mishra's Workshop
1 Strip Mine
4 Thespian's Stage
1 Tolarian Academy
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
3 Wasteland
Sideboard (15)
3 Ancient Grudge
2 Crucible of Worlds
1 Ensnaring Bridge
1 Ghost Quarter
4 Grafdigger's Cage
4 Mindbreak Trap
The inspiration came from the following list from MtGTop8, with minor edits having been made.
