Round 1:
Tommy Kolowith w/Reanimator
Game 1 I have Orchard/Mox/Oath.  He has no Force.  I follow up with Time Walk, then Regrow the Walk and blow him out.
Game 2 I have another good hand and wreck him.

Round 2:
Danny Friedman with UR Control
Game 1 he wrecks me with massive control.
Game 2 he has a not-as-good hand and I go long and set up a Will.  I topdeck Lotus, play it, Duress him, drop the Will, and it's over.  I nearly lost this one by walking Show and Tell into his DSC in-hand, but I pushed through a Duress first that let me know what was up.
Game 3 he mulls into a poor hand and gets crushed by my turn 1 Library that draws me infinite restricted cards.

Round 3:
James King with Oath mirror
Game 1 I crush him.  I draw broken cards and he draws counters.
Game 2 I crush him worse.  I get Tez out, start ramping it up.  He has to burn Nature's Claims keeping artifacts off the board, so I just rip Academy, tap out, untap Crypt/Mox, and cast DSC.  It's over.

Round 4/5 ID

Top 8:
Jason with TPS
Game 1 he gets absolutely NOTHING and I wreck him.
Game 2 he opens with Leyline, I have a slower hand, and he punches a Helm through with backup.  I lose.
Game 3 I Strip his Sea and keep him off BBB so he can't cast Necro or Sad Sac.  I Duress his Helm, then Oath up Terastodon and blow his other two black sources.

Top 4: Owen with The Deck
Game 1 I open with the nuts and blow him out.
Game 2 he tries to play Lotus, Will, but I stop him, respond to Will with Top, find a Spell Pierce as the third card (only one I didn't know), Pierce the Lotus, forcing him to tap out, so his Will consists merely of replaying Lotus, Recall, Walk, and then he dies to my massive board.

Finals:  Jeff with Noble Fish
Game 1 I open with Sapphire, Forest, Oath.  Turn 2 I play another one.  That's enough to stall him for a while.  I Pierce a Null Rod, then eventually find an Orchard and it's over.
Game 2 he Pierces my turn 1 Pearl, Strips my land, Wastes another land, and continually keeps me off Tinker mana until I die.
Game 3 I open with Land, Mox, Mox, Oath, Sensei's Top.  He drops Null Rod, and like a fool I don't draw blindly in response.  Of COURSE the next card is Force, and I had a blue card in hand.  Anyway, he Strips me, I eventually draw Orchard, give him a guy.  He plays Goyf and passes.  I Oath up Iona, name white, pass.  He does nothing.  I Oath up Terastodon, blow up my Oath and 2 Moxen, and next turn I have lethal incoming.

Props to Rich once again.  I cut the Lat-Nam's Legacy for a maindeck Show and Tell, but otherwise it's the stock list.  The maindeck StD didn't really affect things, but I'd rather have it there than the Legacy.  AMAZING deck.

Props:
Everyone there.
The new Vintage crowd.  You know who you are.
Eric and Shannon from Xtreme Games.
Terastodon
Jeff for some great games.
Everyone else I faced for being cool.

Ben, did you ever wish the duress were thoughtseize?  Ripping hate bears and clearing the way for show and tell if they have no resistance seems like it might be worth the swap.

AVOID MTG Fanatic! They remand orders and re-list the cards for more money.
