All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

Man, Burning Oath's matchup vs Landstill is just abyssmal.  It was good times.

Also two bug lists in top 4. One with delver one without delver. Both seemed very strong. Delverless bug won game one by a land slide (pun intended). Landstill won a very swingy game two one the back of multiple pyroclasms and throwing jace after jace under the bus, about 15 cards left in each library. Landstill won another long, but less exciting, game three due to a bad keep by bug.

I see ICBM is still rocking the 1st place podium up in the Midwest!

yes, Landstill is a bad matchup for Burning Tendrils.  Nothing particularly novel about that fact.

In general, combo punts the control matchup unless said combo deck has access to a healthy amount of countermagic itself.

The meta contained one whole landstill deck, just sayin'. Also,the pilots there were boasting the lists contained a healthy chunk of counter magic, so idk what to tell you there either. The exact phrase I heard was "it shores up bad match ups without giving up to much to the good ones". Given the 2 or 3 pilots seemed to not win any games, but regularly do very well in large events, I'd say the lists weren't very good.

Unless deluge mixes things up for champs, I'd be be on a midranged xUG deck.
