[rikimaru75]

would it be possible to post the uw monastery mentor list as well?

[JACO]

Lori, thanks for posting this, and glad to see the good turnout!

Would you be able to post the 5th-8th place decklists as well? Would be great to see, also for historical purposes.

Was Gifts Ungiven unrestricted for this event, and Treasure Cruise restricted?

[nedleeds]

It was ... I shipped Jack a dudesweat list the night before and he 7-0ed with it. His summary:

"2-1 vs bug fish 2-1 vs mentor 2-0 vs bomberman with mentor 2-0 vs terra nova 2-1 vs standard shops, but I gave him the ID when filling out the slip Top 4 - 2-0 vs tropical storm with pyromancer Finals - 2-0 vs terra nova rematch

This deck is fucking sweet and fucking fun. Thanks for sharing it with me."

[LowBeyonder]

I ran the 5th place Mentor list; it was exactly CHA1N5's main-deck from http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=47086.0. Slightly different lands, I played -2 Delta +1 Island, +1 Scalding Tarn. (I think the Tarn swap was because my other Deltas were in a Modern deck or something). I wanted to get a feel for the original list before I started ruining it with extra colors and dubious "tech" as I am prone to doing.

Sideboard was 2 Hurkyl's Recall, 1 Rebuild, 3 Engineered Explosives, 1 STP, 1 Plains, 3 Containment Priest, 2 Grafdigger's Cage, 1 Mindbreak Trap, 1 Disenchant, 1 Meddling Mage. I was generally happy with the sideboard but would have liked one more answer to Null Rod/Stony Silence, as I faced it out of both the Junk haterade deck and several of my shops matchups, and staring down a Null Rod with two EE in hand is not a good feeling.
