Kyle ran "Combo Joblins." It's a Food Chain Goblins deck I made, but without the Food Chains because they suck and you don't need them. I don't remember the sideboard he ran, it was thrown together as the tournament was starting. I know it had REB's and Magus of the Moon, but that's all I can think of. Apparently Kyle had exclusively played FCG for vintage in the past, so it worked out really well that I happened to this on me. For him not playing for months, he played really well. I was impressed.

Mana 26
1  Strip Mine
4  Wasteland
11  Mountain
1  Mana Crypt
1  Black Lotus
1  Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Emerald
4  AEther Vial

// Creatures 28
1  Skirk Prospector
1  Joblin Sharpshooter
3  Mogg War Marshal
4  Joblin Recruiter
1  Stingscourger
2  Siege-Gang Commander
4  Joblin Ringleader
4  Joblin Piledriver
4  Joblin Lackey
4  Joblin Warchief

// Spells 6
3  Leyline of the Void
3 Thorn

Anyways, the deck combo's with Recruiter stacking up Skirk Prospector and Mogg War Marshalls for mana, then chains Ringleaders together ~16 goblins in a turn to either attack for lethal or win with Siege-Gang/Sharpshooter. If people are interested I could write up an article about the deck. I think it's pretty damn good.

Thanks for the report any sorry I couldn't make this one.

What are the chances of future events in Charleston?
