Interesting lists, congratulations to all the top 8 participants.
I think it is now safe to say, that UGW Noble/Selkie Fish ist not only the best Fish deck around. It is also one of the three best decks in the format (beside Confidant-Combo-Control and Aggro Mud).
Noble has been recently in the top 8 of the both biggest vintage worldwide (Ovinogeddon and Annecy) and has won several medium sized tournaments like this and the Lotus run in Zürich with 55 participants. Great deck, great results.
Edit: Funny sideboard tool this Burrenton thing. I guess the Selkie players were expeting lots of Pyroclasms. Did it work out as an answer?
Hey,
I'm the finalist player (Benjamin GUILLERM with Selkie)
I totally agree with you concerning the deck, and its strong is that players have not yet find how to play against this deck. I think that Darkblast is such a BAD idea against this deck and think that Perish or Massacre is such better !
Concerning Burrenton, it replaces Children of Korlis :
Children was better in a combo metagame with a lot of TPS or Drain-Tendrill ; But Burrenton is better against goblin and Tezz-R (side in Pyroclasm)
It's clearly a metagame choice !
