Ah, wow, excuse me for forgetting about Engineered Explosives and Charbelcher, I haven't been playing vintage too long.  Yu're right, both of those cards hurt this deck terribly.

What I'll start testing:

Creatures
4x Doran, the Siege Tower
4x Gaddock Teeg
4x Dark Confidant
4x Jotun Grunt
4x Tarmogoyf
4x Skyshroud Elite
1x Isamaru, Hound of Konda

Disruption
4x Duress
3x Thoughtseize
4x Exitirpate
3x Null Rod

Mana
1x Black Lotus
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Pearl
2x Bayou
2x Savannah
2x Scrubland
4x Windswept Heath
3x Bloodstained Mire
3x Flooded Strand
1x Wooded Foothills

Thanks again for your help,
SK

I can definately see Null Rod as a sideboard card because it kills Slaver, but I don't think it's worth putting in the main because that's the only deck it hurts terribly.

I was thinking of putting in Jotun Grunt though, but I'm not sure I can support it.  I think between my discard and the amount of cards opposing decks get into the bin normally, it will be good.  Not to mention it stops graveyard tricks from dredge and welder, etc.
Should I cut the Watchwolves or the Savannah Lions for it?

Thoughts?

Well the reason Savannah Lions is really there is to have another 1-drop.  I could probably get away with only 4 1-drops though as I'll want to Thoughtseize/Duress 1st turn anyways. 

The problem with Glowrider is that, unaided, it comes down turn 3 when most decks will either have the mana to counter it, or have already gone off. 

I hear a lot of talk about Null Rod but I don't quite understand it.  What does it shut down besides Moxen and the occasional Top?  And since I play 3 Moxen myself, I don't really think it would be too great here.  Am I missing something?

I was thinking about LD but everything I play is so color intensive that it really sets me back a turn...

I don't know what I should do :S

Sorry, but I'm unfamiliar with 'TMWA'
Could you explain please?

Although I would like to stick to my list if at all possible...

Hey, theres a 15-proxy vintage tournament this saturday right by where I live, so I thought I might play in it.
I know Aggro isn't the best choice for a vintage deck, but I absolutely refuse to play control, and this deck is fun anyways.  Knowing I won't win, however, I'd still like to make my deck as competitive as possible.
How does this look?
