Vintage
From MTG Salvation Wiki
Vintage, also known as Type 1, is an eternal format that allows for the use of all cards from all sets, save Un-sets and certain cards banned for causing problems in sanctioned tournaments. Additionally, a number of cards are restricted to a maximum of one copy between a player's deck and sideboard due to their power.
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 exactly fifteen cards.
With the exception of 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. All cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic, as are their snow-covered counterparts — Snow-Covered Plains, Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Swamp, Snow-Covered Mountain, and Snow-Covered Forest.
