2 car seats available leaving from Greenpoint

Justin Kohler's Dig Through Time was likely capitalized because 2 were listed on the deck registration sheet. I believe it was determined that the missing card was a Treasure Cruise.

40 Force of Wills ... interestingly enough its one of the worst cards against Mentor

Sudden Shock has been getting the job done from a Pyromancer's perspective. Dread of Night could do it too. Sulfur Elemental seems inferior to Dread, although I haven't tested either extensively.

I did get Propaganda'd yesterday by a Mentor deck. It slowed me down, I still won.

I still hold the theory that if something costs 3 mana in Vintage, it better be capable of shifting the balance of the game dramatically.

Going to try and make it!

I'm going to try and make it, may bring some NYC crew. Happy to Pyroblast Nick Detwiler, it not be a Metamorph and see it slide into the graveyard.

Steve, thanks for the video. Have you considered Dig as a substitution for one or both Regrowths?

Congrats Obert! I would like to have seen how our finals would have gone for pride, but the extra hour of sleep was needed. Any chance you'll make any Northeast events in the future?

Sounds good Alan! Makes the splits easier, especially since I'll be taking the Workshop this Sunday

I'm in

First televised match and I lose to exactsies on last turn of overtime! I could've grabbed a Mental Misstep instead of the Daze off Dig had I been at 6 and not 5. Was fun. Start time: 1:05:20 - 1:25:00 http://www.twitch.tv/cardtitan/v/6658882

Tremendous tournament Nick Detwiler!

I lost to Brian Kelly 0-2. He crushed me. I walked into work funny this morning.

I beat Tom 2-0. Details/decklists to follow.

I beat White Lotus 2-0. It was tough to see both games being conceded multiple turns prior to a win, but I guess my opponent wasn't feeling it. Shattering Spree and Ingot Chewer did serious work game 2. Game 1 I countered artifacts which killed his Glimmervoids. It was pretty brutal.

Congrats to Roland and Vasu for splitting the finals and Will Dayton for rounding out the T4 with me! Props to Dennis Tsao for T8ing with the Vintage deck doing proper Vintage things.

Week 3

I beat Stormanimagus 2-1.

In a completely biased view, as a Delver player, the vast majority of my matches go to 3 games, which means a games-based standing will favor a higher variance deck. I'd prefer match-based standings. A single match tie-breaker for those tied for playoff spots, a la VSL. my 2 cents.

Honored to be in an awesome Top 4 representative of innovation (Roland bringing back 5c stax / Vasu always evolving bomberman) and old standbys (Will Dayton on Terra Nova and me on Delver).

Looking forward to it! NYC folks bringing the heat.

Sean Ottaway dominated me 2-0.

I kept back to back Library hands on the play, that went nowhere. Aggressively mulliganing into FoW/Karakas may have been right.

Very key Strip Mine to take out wappla's only land G2.

Congrats Mike. Enjoyed our match at the Sushi place next door over Sapporos!

I'm planning on getting into the Wantagh LIRR station at 7:30 and grabbing a taxi. If someone is driving by, a ride would be awesome.

I like this build: http://tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=15614&iddeck=116204

With Treasure Cruise restricted, cut the Spirit of Labyrinths for Porcelain Legionnaires.

I like Porcelain Legionnaire a lot, especially in a mono-white aggro shell.

Playing an aggro-control deck like Delver presents a lot of unusual plays, as I will switch from one mode to another after a single spell from my opponent. Picking up on opponent's sequencing is also very helpful.

One play was allowing a Yawgmoth's Will to resolve against my Flusterstorm and saving it for their Will'd Tinker. The reason was the only outs I saw were if they drew a Snapcaster next turn to flashback the Tinker. I wanted the Tinker exiled. Not exactly mind-blowing, but a step ahead of the current turn.

More unusual was facing down a next turn lethal Griselbrand. I Nature's Claimed my Mox main phase to push my life above 7 while they were on 3. This was bait for their FoW, which they used. I followed it up with Pyromancer, Time Walk for the win.

I do my best to speak from personal experience and not use language that can make people feel bad about sharing their thoughts. Given that, I am not a big fan of Meltdown or Pulverize. Serenity taking an extra turn even seems to be weak. Shattering Spree has been excellent. I like it even better than Ancient Grudge, given the weakened manabase Green requires. Annul is another option if Oath and Shops are both prominent.

Decklists will be published prior to R1,4,7 starting? This would be different from VSL where the 1st round of each trimester was a surprise.
