[Report] Myriad Games Vintage May 13th, 2006 w/T8 Decks

[Smmenen]

Probably because it was bad.

Ouch! 

Andy made top 2 at Gencon without it.  Why do you think that Flame is necessary for Gifts to be viable?

im just joshing with you

Congrats to the top 8, esp. Ray.  Sounds like a vicious top 8.  I'm sure Ray played like a pro.  How did the top 8 play out?

Ray, did you pwn Ichorid? 

Stefan: did my most recent articles on the deck help you at all, or did you even look at them? 

Justin & Andy - was this just an experiment, or something more ?

I had read your article on the deck and thats pretty much what made me want to play it that day. I got most of my knowledge of playing the deck half way decently from playing against Buehler round 1 of richmond and watching the deck get played there. I didn't have a deck in mind since flamevault had just got shut down and thats what i had been doing well with. In all honesty i played the deck mostly as a joke and was surprised when it did so well. Its not that terrible a deck after all.

exodus is the team name that designed exodus oath i <3 my jank

Can you post the list you used (if you did) for the tournament? I'm curious as to what it looks like.

I'll clear up on Exodus Oath, as I designed it.

There are two builds of the deck, the build that I ran at GP Samite Two and the build that I ran at the most recent Myriad.

The build at GP Samite two was a two color Oath deck that ran Muddles. It can be found here: http://www.newenglandmagicgroup.com/forum_viewtopic.php?34.4902

The deck below is the most recent build.

Exodus Oath II

Spells: 36
4 Oath of Druids
4 Brainstorm
4 Force of Will
4 Impulse
3 Remand
3 Duress
2 Orim's Chant
2 Memory Lapse
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Imperial Seal
1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Razia, Boros Archangel
1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
1 Gaea's Blessing
1 Chain of Vapor
1 Time Walk

Mana Sources: 24
4 Forbidden Orchard
3 Wasteland
2 City of Brass
2 Flooded Strand
2 Polluted Delta
2 Tundra
2 Underground Sea
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Ruby
1 Black Lotus
1 Strip Mine

The deck was designed so that either every card either functioned as a Time Walk or found Oath.

Note: The build at Myriad ran Tinker/Colossus main, over the two Memory Lapses, due to an extremely large amount of Swords to Plowshares.

I'm really liking the Orim's Chant as it serves as virtually an extra Time Walk to get that extra attack step in to squeeze out a win.
