Alright so I ran this last night and by all means I was impressed.  Even though it was unpowered and unshopped it finished 3-1.  Killed powered noble fish 2-0, 2-1 against some weird vampire deck, 2-1 against powered oath, and unfortunately lost to a powered dredge 0-2.  I cut down my colored spells by a bit but what the hell do i do against decks like ichorid dredge.  This was my first tournament in a year and I've never seen the dredge builds in action.  Any help would do especially with my sideboard. 

Whoops sorry bout that.  I forgot to add the Gemstone Mines.  Thanks.   

Hey everyone.  So I have a vintage tourney coming up on thursday.  I'm planning on running this prison build.  So far it fairs well against powered decks but seems to have a disadvantage against powered oath which I'm pretty sure everyone is going to be running at the tourney.  The deck runs very well and is resilient.  The only problem it runs into is having to deal with all the hate.  I'm kind of a rookie pilot at running MUD.  My question is how do you pilot around artifact hatred and decks like Oath?  Is Chalice supposed to be the answer for everything and should I be running 4 instead of 3?  Anything will help thanks.

I like having an early lockdown on an opponent even if i have to hurt myself a bit.  Rocking chalices at 0,1,2 usually ends most peoples days.  Plus i have bounce when im ready to go off.  As far as Misdirections, I like them more than counters for the main reasons: Anti-counter and Misdirecting targets.  MisD cabal therapy, targeting bounce spells or even graveyard targets.  It just seems like a way better Force in my opinion.  Yeah the fastbond is kinda wack.  I'd figure more mana acceleration the better since i am running nonbasics that get me any color.  Basically the main idea is set chalices, play crucible strip, trin, titan/slaver/pentavus.  Its a potato mash welder deck.

This was my U/R fish build.  It took out powered Gifts and Stacks. I think its probably  one of the most common builds next to UW fish.

Take a look see.  I haven't played in a while so I don't know whats out there as far as decks. Last time I played was when GAT, Stacks, TPS, and welder were running the show. Thanks

Oh in my area they run fish, stacks.  However i've never matched up against ichorid, or tarmygoyf ( however you spell it). Are there any nonpowered beastly decks that i should be aware of that could drop me?  And if i see ichorid and goyf out how do i best deal with them.
