[President Skroob]

Where did the Manaless Ichorid place in final standings? I realize he was the highest without power, but overall in the whole lineup where did it stand?

[Bram]

Please god, let it be 9th 

[rologa]

It made 15 points so it took something between 9th and 13th depending on tie-breaks (me and I friend took 14th and 15th with the same points and were the last of the 15 points players)

[Moxlotus]

I've always wondered, is there any reason why European Stax players are in love with the U/R conformation?  I don't think anybody in the States has played that variation in like 3 years. 

The other thing I'm always wondering about is the lack of proxies.  Do people not want to play with proxies?

You crazy Europeans and your Intuition/AKs    There are always like 3 or 4 in each top 8 I see.  Does nobody like Gifts?

[zeus-online]

Can't answer for everyone..Heh.

I personally think gifts is much stronger then intu/AK, although intu/AK does help you play the control role.

I have nothing against proxies myself, although i prefer to use the real thing. I'll play against proxies any day

No opinion on the U/R thing.

The other thing I'm always wondering about is the lack of proxies.  Do people not want to play with proxies?

Most tournaments (over here anyway) are sanctioned. We tried proxies, but attendance decreased. Real cards > fake ones, and rating > no rating.

[Kelwyrm]

1st: Thanks to Bram for posting my message.

2nd: Joel Cabrero with Manaless Ichorid (unpow) made top 15.

3rd: Intuitive is a little bit faster and as tough as Gifts in the control, and in our metagame, with a lot of unpowered fish-type and control decks, speed wins.

4th: In our metagame (again)… UR-Staks has proven to be a more stable build against all the artefact hate.

PD: We are compiling all de decklists of the LCV (10 tournaments with an average participation of 80 players) in a huge database… will post some metagame analysis soon.

PD2: real men (and women) don't play with proxies (but play in proxy tournaments) 

Best Regards!

Oliver has done extremely well the last half year with Intuitive. I always see him drop early colossi or draw an awfulgod amount of cards.

[Necropotenza]

The top 3 ranked players of LCV (Vintage Catalan League) earned 80% of their points by playing Intuitive, it says everything about the deck in our metagame. I think Intuitive is not as broken as Gifts, but on the other hand is easier and more straightforward to play than Gifts; probably that's why we choose it.

[Nastaboi]

Intuition Oath w/o AK? Cool.
