1) Mitchell Talpe - Storm Combo

4 Tendrils of Agony
4 Dark Confidant
3 Repeal
4 Night's Whisper

That's my kind of Storm deck: 4 Tendrils Main. 3 Repeals main. 

10 Bounce seems kinda excessive for the SB (in fact, this is the first time I have ever seen 10 bounce spells in on SB) (true, the top 8 Meta looks like it was needed.

Thanks for the Lists.

He just didn't know what else to put in his side that would be better, as the deck is strong enough on it's own. He thought about force, but the deck just doesn't care about control (as we saw in tests the weeks before). We laughed about all the bounce spells pre tournament, but it turned out great. His comments afterwards where that he "totally destroyed" stax .

[Gabethebabe]

Amazing he won that final, against a deck with just about everything that is needed to beat him (4 FoW, 4 Duress, 4 Stifle maindeck)

Well there were 6 rounds of swiss with only 15 people, there was no top 8 play-off (and no "final").

So I assume the first two players didn't actually play eachother during the tournament.

They played afterwards, and he won. Force is not that bad against this deck, you just don't care if something get's countered. Duress is somewhat annoying, and stifle is the worst one I guess. But with 4 confidant and 3 old man, you never need a large tendrils to win. Mox, repeal the mox, mox, tendrils is big enough.

Before sideboard Sullivan Solution was a real problem but 3 old man, 6creature bounce made it a favorable match up. Especially old man made it easy.

I will change sideboard and maindeck a bit.
Maindeck: -1TOA, +1imperial seal, -1repeal, +1chain of vapor
Sideboard: -2chain of vapor, +1 tormod's crypt, +1 darkblast, -1rushing river, -1rebuild, +2negators.
