I'd recomend net decking some builds from Tops 8's, preferably the larger tournaments: TPS, Ad Nauseam, Tezzeret, Control Slaver (on with Strategic Planning, one with Couriers Capsule), Ichorid, a good Stax deck (there are a ton of varietys, see if you can find a mono red one), Elves, and BUG Fish. If youre new to competetive vintage I'd start with BUG Fish because its fun and pretty straighforward, but build up a good stax deck or two because thats its hard matchup and youll need to learn how to use the SB to win that matchup. TPS takes a lot of practice and skill. First you need to learn how to win with it while goldfishing. When youve gotten that down pat, you go up against an opponent and get crushed. With BUG Fish you have spell disruption, mana denial, and beats, plus its built to beat up on TPS and Drain decks which are the majority of the field. Ad Nauseam is also a much easier deck to play than TPS. I'm not trying to discourage you from TPS at all, but it is one of the hardest decks to play and to win a tournament with it you need to play it perfectly and know all 75 cards inside and out. If you need help picking out some good decks to proxy up for testing PM me and I can send you some generic ones that I use for testing.
Thanks for the insight. I'll definitely start doing that. Mind if I PM you the decklists I decide to proxy? You could tell me if they are really not that good or too out dated or whatever.

to your spell's cost might as well counter it if you're trying to combo out, or horridly throws off your mana math.
