I watched a few games by Brandon and was amazed.  I'm a newcomer to Vintage (I know general deck structures, but NOT how to play them), and watching him play stax was exciting.  It was a very cool deck to play, and before the tournament started he explained how his deck worked; awesome to get that knowledge (he knew I wasn't playing).

Have to say though, watching from 2 meters away and seeing:

Ancestral
Ancestral, MisD

and

4 Fow, drain, etc... hand

was simply hilarious.  Congratulations to all of the top 8!  Vintage is a very exciting format to watch ;p
