1  Eternal Formats / Eternal Article Discussion / Re: [Premium Article] So Many Insane Plays: Vintage On a Budget -- GW Beatdown! on: June 02, 2009, 06:29:18 am
I played this deck with some minor changes in a Vintage League in Madrid with 46 people. I did top8 beating two Tezzeret, 1 Stax and 1 BR deck with magus of the moon (i really love Shusher here) I'd lost two games, against the same player with TPS. I am very happy with the deck, it's very reactive, and with a good open hand, its unbeteable by tezz, remora, gifts... and does pretty well against Stax and MUD (due to the seals and qasalis).

Changes were: -1Null rod -1 Elvish spirit Guide -1 lotus petal -2 plains -1 Savannah // + 1 mox pearl + 1 mox emerald + 1 black lotus + 1 enlighted tutor (great! search canonist, null rod, seal, choke, it saves me a lot of times) +2 Horizon canopy (just to draw in case of emergence). I missed 1 plain instead 1 forest. Instead of orim's chant I choose 3 Tormod's cript, but i did not play agaist any Ichorid, and miss them against TPS, so bad choice... Sad

Most times I sent Tarmos to side in the second and third game, because against tezz, remora, gifts, etc they are not necessary. But agains any aggro deck they are tech, so i thing it's a risk you must afford.

I.m thinking to include a couple of Eladamri's Call to look for the creature you need at each time, instead 2 tarmos, and include again the lotus petal to have more chances to give a first turn play.

Nice deck STEVE! I loved it since it appeared in deckcheck, but after playing it, but now I'm considering to carry it to a big vintage event in Mdrid in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
