Pitchlong wins LCV2 in Barcelona and takes a Lotus

[Gabethebabe]

This weekend was the final of the Catalan Vintage Leage. The 35 best players after 11 monthly tourneys fought out who would be the Catalan Vintage Champion.

No entry fees, Lotus for first and a Twister for the runner up.

After the smoke cleared up, the last man standing was LOGAN (Jaume Bonet) with Pitchlong.
Congratulations to him and the second Lotus that he grabs in two months with this deck.

Congratulations also to Jorge "Painass" Pinazo with his original Swordsless UW Fish invention, especially cooked up for the meta that was to be expected in this final (lotsa Drains and workshops, few aggro).

I managed a 4-2 with UW Fish, but missed T8 by a mile because of terrible, terrible tiebreakers.

How did the meta look like, anyhting else than Fish, Long and Staxx Just one Gifts and no Bomberman and no Intuitive that were seen a lot in the spanish top recently?

[Moxlotus]

Where did the Intuitive go? I like the 1st place PL.  What in the heck is going in with the second one?  Shadow of Doubt?!?!

Did Nanaky3k play?

As for the U/R Stax decks, bah.  You guys will come over to Uba Stax and 5c (or maybe B/R) eventually

[Gabethebabe]

I´ll probably get a deck breakdown soon. gRR!! is very effective at those things.

The Bombermans and Intuitives were there, but didn´t make it. Neither did the Slavers, UBA Stacks, Affinity, Trinket-Mask and Rector Tendrils that I saw. There were at least two more gifts as well. The ones I lost to

[CwaM]

Those UW Fish are so weird, so many 2-of, so many oath-hate, and low land count 

[MaxxMatt]

A deck with Bombs and Brokens can Flood and Win.
A deck with GayCreatures can't.

I'm with Spanish men and with their manabases for WU-tang decks.
21-22 mana are enough forr it.

Copy/pasting a decklist and removing the creator's name and changing the deck's name (KI.Merchant) is by far less cool.

http://solomoxen.com/?page=7&id=75


and not a single Ichorid.Deck ??

[Evenpence]

Looks like alot of people tried the AK/Intuition engine with Intutive...

...and lost.

[MaxxMatt]

@XIII
eheh, I was indeed ironical, because KLu talk me about that same deck a lot of time ago during his trip over Italy.
In Italy we were playing some form of Ubg-gifts-control but KLu's one is really the best equipped one.
I would only cut DSC from the list and maybe Wasteland.
My own old Ubr[/b]-control-gifts differs from KI-Merchant for Recoup/Regrowth, E.E./Shamans and some drawers/counters rate. Minor changes but almost the same *control-lock* goal

Red and Green almost give the same *lock* and *recover-from-the-grave* options, but my sideboard choices are red too, while KLu ones are Blue and Black.

I would rather talk forever about this issue, but I think that it is not the proper section
Props to the player for his results and to you for the building
