If you (soly) are, as I suspect, the creator of the deck name for Bobby Hill, that's just asinine.

This was a good time, I encourage everyone to come out for game universe's future events.

Watch the home page for future events. I hope to do a double header in July and give away at least 3 mox.

Wait til you see the Nov-Dec metagame stats.   It's very typical of what we are seeing all over the globe.

Jamison, you're a clown.  All decklists are named for what the person THEMSELVES put on the list.

You really had to point out my sideboard?  There's a good chance no one would have noticed.

Im suprised to see a grim long deck.  I figured most players would have switched to ad nauseam instead.  Any reasons why grim instead of ad nauseam?

Had alot of fun being able to play in Milwaukee again. Lost my ass off big this week but I learned alot, that i still really blow at this game...lol.. People are starting to be friendlyer, but it could have been the hang overs. Hope to play in IL and at the ICBM open. Now if i can just figure out how to side board, is there a book on side tech?...lol.

Why is it awful and why is this surprising?

Tezz / Mana Drain Decks are dominating in most metas at the moment.  Most Top 8s have at least 1 Fish or R/G beats deck in them.  And the rest get filled by Shop and/or Ritual Combo.  Dredge can make Top 8.  The only surprise is that there are 2.

Wait a minute, he can totally play tezzeret and then tutor up the ruby for protection.  Look at all the cards in his deck that get red mana!!!  Very Happy
But jimmy, seriously congrats on getting 3rd with a 13 card sideboard.

Somebody tell Chapin how counterbalance works?

"Of all the major Vintage archetypes that exist and have existed for a significant period of time, Oath of Druids is basically the only won that has never won Vintage Championships and never will (the other being Dredge, which will never win either)." - Some guy who does not know vintage....

If I had beaten Jamison, I definitely would have boarded one or both in against Fisher just to blow him out when I drew Ruby.  He would have been so demoralized he probably would have just quit on the spot.

Come on Owen, be serious. Tommy's deck is the most broken I think I've ever seen, and actually looked like this:
Business (36)
1 Ancestral Recall (it's restricted!)
1 Brainstorm (it's restricted!)
1 Ponder (it's restricted!)
1 Time Walk (it's restricted!)
4 Mystic Remora (broken draw engine!)
4 Meditate (broken draw engine!)
4 Old Man of the Sea (steals Goblin Welder, Dark Confidant, Tarmogoyf; googizzle!)
4 Glen Elendra Archmage
4 Blood Moon
4 Force of Will
4 Commandeer (steals Necro; googizzle!)
4 Mana Drain

Mana Sources (24)
7 SoLoMoxen
1 Library of Alexandria (it's restricted!)
4 Flooded Strand
4 Volcanic Island
7 Island
1 Strip Mine (mise-well, right?)

Sideboard (15)
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Relic of the Progenitus
2 Ingot Chewer
2 Viashino Heretic
2 Pyroblast
2 Red Elemental Blast
1 Magus of the Moon
2 Repeal

He obviously stole the Repeal + Mystic Remora tech from me. Oh the synergy!
