A ways back, Hitman (aka Paul Kim) mentioned making the trip out to Bloomsburg (PA, USA) to battle for a Mox Emerald. After a pep talk from fellow hip hop aficionado and Sucka Free MC Yangtime (aka Jerry Yang) I was talked into attending. It went a little something like this…

Congrats.

Epic. I'm back on shops again!

Thanks, I didn't even know this was published.*

Mishras sort of like the Hyman Roth of vintage.....  Just when you think you're out... he pulls you back in.

Good job Anthony and that was a cool report. Any chance we'll see you guys this month?

[hitman]

There's definitely a chance. If I can get 4 guys to go, I'll be there.

[Twaun007]

I won't be out there for February's tournament, but I'll swing out for one of the next two. 

[Ruboonia]

Wow, sick draws in the finals. Congrats!

[Shax]

Dredge seems too strong in that tournament report. But then again the UW Control players did not put on a good game against Shops/Dredge.

Congrats Twaun!
It was nice to finally meet you, I liked your sideboard decisions, they were very interesting.
Once again, CONGRATS!!!

Congrats on the win.  I'm a big fan.

A couple questions about your deck:

1.  What's the deal with the miser Pithing needle?  Why?

2.  Did you find Serum Powder to be worth 4 spots?  It looks like you only used it a couple times.

Serum Powder was good to me all day and I know I used it a few times other than just vs the dredge decks. I can comfortably say I used it at least once, if more,  during every match.

I haven't ran Trinisphere in my workshop builds for the last few years so I tossed in a Pithing Needle to see how it compared vs running the 3ball. I was going to use Phyrexian Revoker, but due to an enormous amount of creature removal in the format I chose Needle instead. Its provided outs vs late game Jace, TMS's, Vault/Key, Welder, Quasali, and a few other things. I've liked it so far and it hasn't been bad enough were I'm to the point of cutting it.
