Hello.

I Played a confidant control deck at the BOM.
I'm a noob yet I finished 11th (7-1-1).
I'm either very lucky or my list is not so bad (or a little of both).

My list :

4 Force of Will
4 Mental Misstep
3 Spell Pierce
2 Steel Sabotage
1 Nature's Claim
//14
4 Dark Confidant
1 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Ponder
1 Brainstorm
//7
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Tutor
//4
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Tinker
1 Yawgmoth’s Will
//4
3 Tarmogoyf
2 Trygon Predator
1 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Blightsteel Colossus
//7
//36
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Crypt
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Emerald
//6
3 Misty Rainforest
2 Polluted Delta
1 Verdant Catacombs
3 Underground Sea
2 Tropical Island
2 Island
1 Swamp
1 Forest
2 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
//18

Sideboard:

4 Leyline of the Void
2 Yixlid Jailer
2 Nature's Claim
1 Naturalize
1 Hurkyl's Recall
1 Darkblast
1 Diabolic Edict
1 Inkwell Leviathan
2 Mindbreak Trap
//15

Mental Misstep was good all the day. Countering Ancestral Recall, Fastbond, Pyroblast, Thoughseize, etc. Versus Dredge It's was also a good card to stop nature's claim, darkblast or therapy.

If you have some ideas to improve my list ...

a) Looking at the 11th place decklist (from eternal central), he has a SB robot.  What caught my eye was that he has tinker + bsc main, but no vault + key.  I wonder when is it right to have an additional robot for tinker w.out vault key VS. the strategy of boarding out the tinker and bot for 2 sb slots.  Essentially, assessing the value of the sb slot robot and tinker vs. 2 potential board cards.

Hi all !
I'm the french player which finished 11th at the BOM (with the ubg control).

To explain my choices, I haven't access to : Mox Ruby & Pearl, Time Vault, Mana Drain, etc.
I need win conditions, so I played : Tarmogoyf & Tinker.
BSC was my tinker target because I was afraid to play vs random deck (elf, gob, etc.) and BSC give me a good chance to win this deck.
But, I was expecting lots of hate vs BSC (Sword to plowshare, Steel Sabotage, etc.) So, I decided to side Inkwell Leviathan and I think it was a good idea.

I played versus : 1 MUD, 1 Ichorid, 1 Painter,1 Elephant Oath, 2 Gush Tendrils, 2 Jace control, 1 Madness and I side Inkwell every time except vs MUD & Ichorid.

Have a good day !
