I'm looking for a team if anyone is avail.

It's a pleasant train ride from Pittsburgh.

I had the same first thought about this, that its a new twister for belcher, especially with leylines. I also thought about notion thief's interaction, but more so for legacy in grixis theifs/pyromancer.

But then I started just thinking of this as a big draw spell. So after dumping your hand on things like a bazillion artifacts or some early threats. I think it has potential there as well. 

I like the discussion here about moving leyline to the maindeck for belcher to have better shops matchups. That seems useful and cool. And pulls the deck in a slightly new direction I suppose. I think at the least this beckons a new SB strategy against shops.

I have some excellent proxies drawn by the artists themselves for my power. They are clear as to what they represent(the art is basically left the same, or modified in a way that makes it clear). However, my proxies tend to not have any text on them. Usually just the art.

Here is a recent proxy issue that came up for me:
(Let me start by saying I totally respect the decision by Nick, this is in no way an attack or complaint, merely a philosophical point/discussion. I will obviously comply, and have no hard feelings as to the ruling.)

For NYSE, one of the requirements of proxies, is that they have the full text. To avoid ruining my stunningly beautiful proxies, I write on the perfect fits in sharpie, and slide that over. This was oked by the TO. But an interesting discussion came up: would it be ok to put the words on the sleeve, in german. This might sound strange, but consider that my deck is completely german where possible(excluding some cards that don't exist in german ofc). On one hand, german cards are legal, and very few people can read them here in the US. If a player is unable to read them, they can ask any judge for oracle text. So why wouldn't it be ok if my proxies were also german? The final ruling was: no, I could not put their text in german. His point was "the point of a proxy is to communicate what the card does without having the card." In a deck where about 49-51 cards are not in english, this doesn't feel relevant. If a player wants to confirm what my card is, they'll need to ask oracle text in almost every single case. But this is a slippery slope. If german text is ok, what language texts are not ok? What about Phyrexian? There is a official legal card in phyrexian, so is Phyrexian ok here? If Phyrexian is ok, then no text whatsoever should be ok, which returns us to the original proxy.

This is the kind of difficulties that arise with proxies. This is why they'll always be evaluated on a case to case basis. I for-one, think that my text-less proxies should be completely ok. If anything, I think that they should only need their card names added to make them legal, just so that there is some agreement as to what I'm claiming them to be.

Fun tournament for sure. I was happy to do as well as I did.

The mentor list is definitely Spicy. For the Terra-Nova style deck, it meant he didn't win/lose in turn1-3. He was able to grind out games even after I had established a board position. In one of our fun matches, he ground out a game through 5 spheres!
