Please don't be too upset.  I'm missing JudasKilled and Jaco's lists.  Maybe Jaco can post it.

Keep dreaming suckas. There's no way my anti Great Sable Stag technology is getting revealed!

[vroman]

smith's list is missing 3 cards. Im pretty sure it should be 3 city brass and 2 volc island

None of us played Time Vault.  Vroman's whole car played Time Vault.

I have accepted the inevitable. when the best deck is better than the hate decks, play the best deck.
in hindsight, I regret not just playing gush in 07-08, instead of quitting vintage for 18 months.

[TopSecret]

I think the real winner of this event is that RG list.

It's so good that I can't even say something witty in an attempt to adequately summarize it's awesomeness.
Words fail me.

This deck isn't just win the real winner of this event.
It's the real winner of Vintage.

[M.Solymossy]

I have won 4 pieces of power With Time Vault since it's unrestrictions, and top8ed SIX other events (Counting the ICBM Open top 8 as a win).   I have won 4 Pieces of Power and Top 8ed another event With GWSx.    I feel I've won enough since the Brainstorm Restriction/Time Vault Errata to merit playing something else.

[Tha Gunslinga]

Soly, thanks for witholding my decklist.  Much appreciated.

as is your perogative. I have only begun playing time vault decks in past month or so, but I have resolved to find and play the best deck from now on, without reservation

[MirariKnight]

Deadly Recluse has seen a Top 8.

To be fair we did recommend Null Rod to that guy last month, but instead he chose Stags which apparently were quite good.

If I were travelling >2 hours to play, or there was more than a Mox on the line (Like, a blue piece or a beta piece or etc) I would have played the Confidant Tezz deck I took 3rd at the ICBM Open.   Travelling ~1 hour to play for a Mox Ruby to me doesn't hold as much value to it.  Besides, It was hilarious to play Vedalkan Archmage and then just blast people.

I agree:  You can't even steal the Stag with Sower!

Clearly this card should be restricted.

[Zombie Shakespeare]

Nathanial Comiskey's RG list only has 59 cards in the main. Strip Mine maybe?

[vroman]

comiskey and I are both ahead of the curve w the basic forest tech

[Twaun007]

1 iona, the fucking balls

Dude.... I looked this one up on gatherer, but I couldn't find it. Soly, could you explain this to me?

[marriedwithchildren]

Apparently when she comes into play you name Michael Solymossy and your opponent scoops!  New tech!!

That does happen when I'm playing almost monoblue

Don't worry about it Soly. Just remember its always better to be lucky that good.

[Tobi]

Wow. Elks FTW!!! And Deadly Recluse is an awesome SB tech.

Missing cards report:
Nathaniel's deck misses one MD card
Josh's deck misses 4 MD cards
Jeremiah's deck misses 1 SB card
Cheng's deck misses 1 MD card and 1 SB card
