There was 1 dredge and roughly 3-5 oath I think. Jerry and Gil both did
Edit - it was a great turn out and great location. Thanks to Hero Zone hosting and Nat for planning

In addition, all of the Oath I saw was Maniac Oath. Not 100% that accounts for all of them, though.
Anyway, great times. I certainly had the best day of Magic in my life, but even that can't beat Delver of Secrets...

Really fun day of slinging cards. While I am disappointed it wasn't me, I was psyched to see the Delver of Secrets deck that R&D has been working on the past few weeks to take down the event. I missed top 8 playing the exact same 75 as Jimmy on breakers. I actaully had the best breakers going in to the last round, won, but because Matt Hazard (who had previously played Nat Moes, who snuck in at 8th) beat an opponent of mine, I got knocked out. Oh well. Still an awesome time, and I can't wait for the next one!

What's the prize? I hope you're not going to drop off a dead bird or something on my doorstep. |

I have the deck registration sheets. Here's my best attempt at a metagame breakdown. Most of the decks don't have a very defining characteristic; people were mixing draw and control cards to meet what they wanted to play. The differences between most categories are pretty subtle. I'm also including any notable win conditions. Bear with me. If you have any issues with how I've classified a deck, especially "your" deck, please mail an inquiry to your mother.
If anyone wants to do more in-depth analysis of the lists, let me know, and I'll see about getting them to you.
"Blue" - 12
3 Dark Confidant + 3 Jace + Tezzeret
4 Gush + 3 Jace + Snapcaster
4 Snapcaster + 2 Jace + Tezzeret
4 Gush + 4 Remora + 2 Jace
4 Confidant + 3 Snapcaster + Jace + Empty the Warrens
3 Snapcaster + 3 Fact
4 Confidant + 4 Snapcaster + Ninja!
4 Confidant + 2 Snapcaster + 2 Jace (T8)
4 Snapcaster + 2 Jace (T4)
4 Gush + 4 Remora + 2 Jace (T8)
4 Standstill + 3 Dark Confidant + 2 Jace + Mishra's Factory (T2)
3 Goblin Welder + 3 Forbidden Alchemy + Myr Battlesphere
Workshops - 4
Mono-Red with 4 Welders
MUD with 2 Wurmcoil Engines + 0 Panthers (Panth-less MUD) (T4)
MUD with 4 Forgemasters (T8)
MUD with 4 Sculpting Steel + 4 Triskelion
Blue avec Dudes - 4
4 Gush + 4 Remora + 2 Tarmogoyf + 2 Trygon + Quirion Dryad
4 Gush + 4 Delver of Secrets + 4 Tarmogoyf + 2 Snapcaster + 2 Trygon + Clique
4 Gush + 4 Delver of Secrets + 4 Tarmogoyf + 2 Snapcaster + 2 Trygon + Clique (Winnar!)
4 Confidant + 4 Spellstutter + 3 Bitterblossom + 3 Clique + Ninja!
Oath - 3
Laboratory Maniac + Tendrils of Agony + Vault Key
Laboratory Maniac + Tendrils of Agony + Jace
Laboratory Maniac + Tendrils of Agony + Vault Key
C-c-c-combo - 4
4 Cobra + 4 Gush + 2 Jace + Tendrils + Vault Key
4 Cobra + 4 Gush + 2 Jace (T8)
4 Dark Ritual + 4 Duress TPS
4 Goblin Charbelcher + 3 Empty the Warrens + Burning Wish

Another one for the "decklists - fill in the blanks" trivia: Charlie Krug's maindeck is missing 6 cards.  |

Because of the deck name my guess is 4 Dark Confidant and 2 Volcanic Island.

They are indeed. I've corrected the original list. |

Awesome. Thanks!
Tobi, the results were incorrectly reported on your website because Nat Moes posted the decklists in a confusing order. You'll want to correct them so Jimmy is the winner, etc. |

I was watching the finals video, and I have a few questions:
1) Why did Geoff Moes Mystical Tutor for Ancestral in Game 1? Wasn't the better target Tinker?
2) Why did Geoff Moes play Tinker when he did in Game 2? Wouldn't waiting a turn until you could find a Volc and play REB to protect it be better?

If you watch Geoff Moes play consistently your brain will hemorrage. I don't recommend attempting to learn anything by watching a video with Geoff Moes in it. |

I haven't watched the video, but I'd say I was already playing from a defeated stance in that game, so I probably wasn't making very good decisions. I don't remember the exact situation you speak of in the second instance, but I also wasn't fielding REB in the deck. If you watch Geoff Moes play consistently your brain will hemorrage.

I must say that yes, you were playing from a defeated stance. you can even hear it in your voice. The first game, tinker would have been a better target for mystical. second game, Jimmy had delver and goyf out but i would have still waited a turn or two to tinker even though you didn't run REB. |

In retrospect, I realized why I didn't get Tinker. I couldn't have played Mystical Tutor, because I wasn't running Mystical Tutor. What I cast instead was Merchant Scroll. Though Scroll for Tinker is a strong play, it's not one that I tend to attempt in a tournament setting while being recorded... |
