Necroing this topic up for value.
After my visit to the states, where I had to face the Sandwich punchers from the Team Serious, my current score is:
+0 punches
- 2 times my sandwich got punched (Sam & JACO)
Total: -2
Will try to make this more popular within the EU.
Cheers,

I will explain better all card choices of my deck in the report that EC will publish but to summarize, I expected a lot of creatures and I prepared my sideboard accordingly.
I played 5 matches between Friday and Saturday tournaments and went 10-0. To me Pyromancer decks were like every other creature deck that proved unable to outrace my lifelink wurmcoils/batterskull. Against every creature deck I played I sided like this:
- 4 Thorn of Amethyst
- 3 Sphere of Resistance
+ 3 Batterskull
+ 2 Caltrops
+ 1 Razormane Masticore
+ 1 Spine of Ish Sah
Your oponent is playing 2/1's while you are playing 5/3's, 3/5's, 4/4's, 6/6's, 5/5 + most creatures lose to caltrops (confidants, vendillion clique, young pyromancer, aven mindcensor, thalia, etc...).
That was my plan and it clearly worked.

So i played in 4 separate vintage tournaments at gencon and literally didn't play against a deck that wasn't blue, I don't know if it was just me but like 80 percent were pyromancer
There was a ton of the red two drop for sure And that's why I destroyed dominated (literally) every single one of them in my road to victory.  |

I'm posting this in the name of Ego_Sum (Iñaki), since he has no rights to post in this forum section. He wanted to answer you all, so here you go! (And please, someone grant him more rights).
"Thank you for the replies, this encourage me to keep sharing with the community.
Can you please add the link to Brassman Article?, I' d like to have a look.
Cruzron: I' ve thouhgt a little about Etherium Scupltor, though I think Helm is stronger, for some reasons, first it is not a creature, which can be occasionally useful, second, since you play Helm only when you are going off (if you feel forced to play it before that time normally means that the game is going bad for you) it helps to maximize your mana to cast the important (or at least interesting) spells you can find in the process (i.e. more Riddlesmiths, Demonic Tutor, ...), and third it can give you a first game symetrical solution against an Sphere form a MUD player. Nevertheless being blue gives him a point.
Brassman: nice to know someone thought about it in parallel! I' ve tested the Bot main deck, but it really brought more sinergistic problems than advantages, this is why I cut him into the Sideboard. However, when I played the Robot maindeck, it was the Sphinx aswell, I can see the point of Colossus, but I think is quite out of the metagame (w/o Thirst, plus so many maideck bouncers played current metagame). About the Helm being necessary, it' s working amazingly well , I mean there were not few times when I fizzled due to mana problems, and the Helm just solved this radically. Finally, concerning to Repeal, it may seem not very strong, but after playing it, I saw that it's an important part of the deck, not only for giving you 2 extra cards to work with, but also because it is a very solid answer against one of your main concerns: Null Rod.
Phele: combo and combo/control are one of your hardest match ups, this is why I added the 3x Mindbreal Trap to the Sideboard. Anyway you are able to go off very early if you face little out-of-turn disruption (i.e. coutner magic), The deck is solid because it plays a very tough mana base, something that neither Ritual decks nor Jace-based decks have, with lots of basic lands. Against Null Rod you have plenty of solutions, even maindeck (you play 2 mass bouncers and 2 repeal), so you should handle this eaisily. Against the Sphere problem, your basic lands can give you the edge, playing 14 lands post board and full set of mana artifacts should be enough, this combined with 3 mass bouncers and 3 nature's claim (and once again the Repeals) would take care of any MUD, unless they have a Goddissh Start.
Troy Costisik: as I answered to Cruzron. Helm is stornger than Sculptor once you go off, in order to maximize your mana. It also allows you to play brainfreeze with a single blue mana, which saved me some games just because you can play it with the land drop you didn't made yet, or the blue mox/petal.
Greetings,
Iñaki.-"

Owen Turtenwald of Team ICBM is the 2010 Vintage World Champion!
Owen Turtenwald of Team ICBM is the 2010 GENCON Vintage Champion. Calling GENCON Champs the Vintage World Championship is a lie. Deal with it. A 100 people tournament where 99% (if not 100%) of the players are from the US is far from being a World Championship. BOM or EUROVINO are like 4-5 times bigger with players from lot more different countries. That's far more representative from what the "world champion" tittle should mean.
