Is there no one else from TX on these forums?  It is really hard to start a vintage scene in the South when no one supports it.  The discussion about Steve's proxy article is valid, but no one is talking about this aspect.  Everyone is concerned that vintage attendance is declining, but when a small group of dedicated players is trying to start a vintage scene in an area, there is often little support from the community.  We can't do the BOM thing and offer multiple sets of P9 because no matter how much we advertise people from other parts of the country won't come and the TO/store will just lose thousands of dollars.  So the point of this is: If there is anyone else from TX, or a surrounding state that is close enough from which to travel to San Antonio, please support this fledgling (dare I say dying) attempt at a vintage community by letting TheWhiteDragon know you'll at least attempt to support future vintage events in Texas.

I've already responded in the affirmative twice.  But yes!  I'm in Dallas so anyone in that area interested in going and carpooling send me a PM.

@ beder:

That is an interesting idea, it came to my mind initially too.  I don't want to dismiss it completely without testing but it raises a question:  why play two more voltaic key instead of the two Tezzeret?  Yes Key is easier to cast and can combo well with SDT, but it detracts from your ability to win.  Tezzeret wins by being both a combo piece and the tutor for your second piece.  Key by itself is useless, Tezzeret is a win.  Based on this, I don't see how replacing two Tezzeret with two Keys is logical.

That being said, I like differences in the rest of the list.  In testing c-dizzle's list I ran into problems with card disadvantage.  The threat density is high, but if their answers are coming faster due to an efficient draw engine then it doesn't matter.  The proactive nature of 6 duress effects is nice, but the lack of draw was causing me problems.  That being said, I'll be testing a combination of the two lists.

Maybe I can't count but I'm at 59 cards.  MWS says so too.  Singleton Impulse has been working well though.

I was wondering that myself.  I read it like 4 times.  The Carrion Feeder disappeared!
With it in the picture the decision tree following the brainstorm would have been slightly different, but I don't see any different decisions being made (aside from the scroll for ancestral in the place of the now non-existant brainstorm).  Unless I'm missing something else too?

Also, just to point it out: Solitary Confinement doesn't protect you from life loss, just damage. Though discarding 2 per turn would put you hellbent pretty quick anyway.
