I played it in the VSL, and it was great fun, and, I felt, competitive. In my match against Martell, I made a pretty significant error in the third game, by not Tinkering for Jar. I probably win that particular game if I make the right play. In my match against Rich, I have a great chance the first game if I win the die roll, and the second game was competitive, despite my terrible draws and his great draws.
Stephen, what are your thoughts on the list you played in VSL3 (the BLong list) in todays meta (post chalice/dig etc)? I hear the format has not settled yet, but please what do you think theoretically?
I bought your ebook on the topic of this particular deck (I buy all of your ebooks) and of course the sideboard has a lot of focus agains shops which now seem do have dropped in popularity. And since you wrote the book and did not play the deck at "vintage masters" I'm curious of your thoughts.
My recent experience online is that there is a lot of Mentor/Delver/BUG type fish decks, fewer MUD more Tezz, dredge is always around (many dredgers sport DDepths), so I was wondering if an Oath/Storm deck could be well positioned.
