Wow. Jason's deck is friggin awesome. Any chance for a report with how that deck played out?

[LotusHead]

Will's Tinker deck seems to only have Black Lotus (and other moxen) as target.  Is DSC/Platz/Titan/Jar or something missing?

[Implacable]

That Feinstein 'Goyf deck is absolutely amazing: the best thing I've seen in months.  Is the deck's player a TMDer?

It's Feinstein's deck.  He passed it to me and I passed it on to the team 02drop forums.

Jay has a TMD account but I'm pretty sure he doesn't use it.

[Will]

Yeah looking at my list for that my deck is missing 1 DSC and has 1 extra REB (I'm Will BTW).  Yeah I played against Jason's Feinstein Goyf twice and got whooped in 4 of 5 games winning 1 on the back of warrens for 10 turn 1.

I'm not used to random praise :p

Er, this deck is basically the 'ssgoyf' deck I posted in my last waterbury report a loooong time ago.  I always felt it could be good but never got around to playing it.

Jason basically took the deck and did his own tweaks. His version is very good.  We've talked about it on and off for a while and the deck has the potential to be a monster.

The deck is highly customizeable but here's my updated list of er...

If I went to SCG chicago I'd probably play the above card for card.  I don't plan on going but I think this list is good.  I went over alot of these changes with Jason a few weeks ago (when he beat my ass with his version at ray's mini-tourney).  The nice thing about this list is versatility.  The deck is highly customizeable but there are some things that just make sense as far as cuts go.  Meloku really isn't better than tog in this deck.  Thoughtseize seems like an easy addition and has been testing well.  Not everyone I've talked to likes thoughtseize.  You could cut them for +1 Tog +1 stifle, but they've been good for me.

The board is a house.  Covers all of the top decks.  Oxiidize+tryongs for stax, extripate/needle/leyline for ichorid, smother for gat/fish, etruth for gush tendrils... and alot of these cards can go in multiple matchups.  Against my UBW fish for example, Jason brought in extirpates for me.  I was intially puzzled by this but he ended up wrecking me by wasting a tundra then extirpating the rest out. 

In short I like this deck a ton.  I'm flattered by the comments but I didn't really re-invent the wheel.  I just tried to make a competitive aggro/control deck and I think this fits the bill.

Congrats again to Jason and the others at this Blue Bell.  I'll try to make one of these some time.

Are the Trygons actually any good? We haven't tested them in this, but they absolutely sucked in GaT.
