Sunday Event, how crazy.  I'll be moving Jiu Jitsu to an early time slot so I can make this one.

Tons of fun as usual.  I believe there were 17 players.  I lost in top 8 round to a teammate thanks to some loose keeps (fueled by our having split already and figuring that the top 4 would split anyway).

Picked up a second Rebuild for my deck beforehand, and turned credit into a foil Snow-Covered Island (so hot!) and my fourth Underground Sea.

A great day!  Will post my tourney report later.

My list was essentially LSV's from the Nat's side event:
-1x Thoughtseize
+1x Duress (wanted to play 3x Foil Duress, as I don't have a Foil Thoughtseize)

-1x Repeal
-1x Hurkyl's Recall
+2x Rebuild (more synergistic with DESIRE)

-4x Dark Confidant
-1x Sensei's Divining Top
-1x Mystical Tutor
+1x Memory Jar
+1x Misdirection (proxy meta = more Ancestrals flying)
+1x MIND'S DESIRE (absolutely balls-out broken)

-1x DSC
+1x Inkwell Leviathan
+1x Tezzeret the Seeker

I guess those are somewhat significant changes, but I did start from LSV's list, I swear.  He played 61 cards so the above changes plus reworking the manabase trimmed one.  I didn't have an Oath board or Regrowth so I cut green.
