I ran the 5th place Mentor list; it was exactly CHA1N5's main-deck from http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=47086.0. Slightly different lands, I played -2 Delta +1 Island, +1 Scalding Tarn. (I think the Tarn swap was because my other Deltas were in a Modern deck or something). I wanted to get a feel for the original list before I started ruining it with extra colors and dubious "tech" as I am prone to doing.

Sideboard was 2 Hurkyl's Recall, 1 Rebuild, 3 Engineered Explosives, 1 STP, 1 Plains, 3 Containment Priest, 2 Grafdigger's Cage, 1 Mindbreak Trap, 1 Disenchant, 1 Meddling Mage. I was generally happy with the sideboard but would have liked one more answer to Null Rod/Stony Silence, as I faced it out of both the Junk haterade deck and several of my shops matchups, and staring down a Null Rod with two EE in hand is not a good feeling.

I probably would have if I hadn't traded several of mine that weekend. If only he could name Bazaar...

I'd love to play Keeper if I can figure out a build of it that I'm confident in, but yeah, it'd be tough for me to justify sleeving a deck without Metalworkers at this point.

No worries. Thanks; grats on the Jace. Hope to see you at the next one.

Heya. This is James, I was piloting the MUD deck in the finals (think you wrote down John by mistake). I am a fan of the Tezz in the decklist and I think he's legit in the format.

Tournament was fun, hoping to see more Vintage action in the area. I'll definitely be back for the next one.
