That's a bit excessive to go with a Bazaar and Unmask + Black Card. I can construct god hands for any deck that will be fast as hell. It's unrealistic for this to happen with any degree of regularity.

Let's assume we're on the play. We play land go. They play Bazaar go. We play land + RiP, seems fine.

Let's assume they're on the play. They play Bazaar go. We play Land + Mox/Crypt + RiP, seems fine.

Let's assume they're on the play. They play Bazaar go.  We play Land pass. They have to have 1-2 Dredgers, multiple Cabal Therapy and Bridges, and at least 1 Narcomeba(has to flip)/Bloodghast(w/ 2nd Land) all in say 15 cards (best case scenario for them) Even with all of that, we can still Misstep/Fow our way into a RiP. They might have 2-3 Zombies, but we have creatures too.

Interesting lists, congratulations to all the top 8 participants.

I think it is now safe to say, that UGW Noble/Selkie Fish ist not only the best Fish deck around. It is also one of the three best decks in the format (beside Confidant-Combo-Control and Aggro Mud).

Noble has been recently in the top 8 of the both biggest vintage worldwide (Ovinogeddon and Annecy) and has won several medium sized tournaments like this and the Lotus run in Zürich with 55 participants. Great deck, great results.

Edit: Funny sideboard tool this Burrenton thing. I guess the Selkie players were expeting lots of Pyroclasms. Did it work out as an answer?

I Really like this tournament, maybe me and a friend will come from Breda Holland.

Deckbuilding rules:
  •     Decks must contain exactly 100 cards.
  •     Decks are made of singletons exclusively, i.e. they can't have two
  cards with the same name, except for basic lands.
  •     One card must be a legendary creature that is the "General" of the
  deck.
  •     No card in the deck can have a mana symbol that is not present in
 the
  mana cost of the General.
  Example: Should the General be Doran, the Siege Tower, you can't play
 with
  Noble Hierarch, since the latter has a blue mana symbol in its text.
  •     No sideboard authorized.
 
 
  Specific rules :
  Each player begin the match with 30 life points.

  General Specific rules:
  •     The general begin the match exiled. It cannot be taken by a wish

  •     If your general should go to the graveyard, its owner can choose to exiled it instead. So that, it doesn't trigger graveyard ability.

  •     Each time you play your general from its Exiled zone, put a counter on it. You have to pay 2 colorless mana in addition of its mana cost per counter on it. You cannot remove counter on your general.

  •     Your general has the surtype : "General" and it cannot be remove by a spell or ability. So that, if a clone come into play and copy your general, the legend rules does apply.

  •     If a player receive at least 21 damages from a unique general, it loses the game.
 

When is Foundry better than Crypt?  Just because you can use it to save yourself from Painter?

2) Why Merchant Scroll?  In a deck that is centered around Tinker and Will, Scroll searches for big, fat neither :\

Strategic Planning is good, even in the absence of any grave yard synergies, because it lets you see three cards.

...and then there's Deep Analysis.

We were also joking how insane SP is with Goyf.   Turn one Goyf, turn two SP, GG
