A big vintage tournament was held in Hanau, Germany (close to Frankfurt). About 125 players played 7 rounds plus top 8 for a bunch of power pieces and winner cups.

It is in german but you will find your way to the decklists and metagame analysis

I played Horden Tendrils and finished 20th with 5:2:0 losing to Tezz and AggroMUD, winning against GWSx, Sui, another Tezz, Elves! and NobleFish.
GWSx (piloted by Goswin Zeeman) started both games with double ritual, duress/thoughtseize and SadSac against me. I won both games  - Cheers to 3 Tendrils maindeck!

Thanks Tobi for all this info,

Man oh man facing Goswin is brutal, the guys a  real trooper.... good thing you showed him

I especially like those Steel City Fault decks... some new tech?

I'm really impressed with the winner's decklist. I love every creature he runs. I've always had a big place in my heart for rogue decks.

He has 61 cards. Is Sigil of Distinction really in his list?

I'm really impressed with the winner's decklist.

Me too, and that doesn't happen a lot.

´

Yes, it is a 61 card list. He played Sigil even before in a 60 card list. A friend of mine played against him and was faced with an equipped 6/6 Selkie attacking him.

These must be some of the coolest deck lists in a top 8 I've seen recently!
Congratulations to all!

I still dislike the lack of synergy between Moon effects and 5 islandwalkers.  

I played BR Stax and went 4-2-1.

After play testing the deck, there isn't much synergy involved with it's game plan. If you resolve a Magus off fast mana you lock your opponent. You can still hard cast a Selkie for a beater. Inkwell is a tinker target. You could run 3 bounce, but the architect decided to run a Hurkyl, Tinker, and a target. This was a solution that worked for a ub fish deck before Tarmogoyf that I developed with my team a long time ago as an answer to oppenent's Tinker.

This deck has 16 land with a lot of 3cc UU creatures. You have a huge bomb in Magus as you are 2 color.

The strangest card (perhaps in vintage) is Vendilion Clique.
