2nd Place @ Vintage Comics and Games in Henderson, NV

Here's a link to my report!

We had 10 show up, and 2 dropped mid-tournament.

Top 4 was me with Burning Long, 2 RUG Delver and a U/B Control.

Congrats on your finish.  In the top 4 I definitely would have kept the hand of duress, demonic tutor, dark ritual, mox opal, mana crypt, sol ring.  Yes, you don't win on turn 1, but you can play ritual-->demonic for a draw 7+duress and have a turn 2 protected draw 7 with storm 2 out of an empty hand which is a pretty ideal setup for this deck.

Thanks for the report.

I like your Oath deck. 

You went even versus the Delver decks which seems about right.  It's good to see that from a Ritual deck.  Desire is a sweet card, it totally steals games, especially in that meta, eh?   No shops or dredge; HAD to be a fun tournament with the deck! 

Please place the waning of Vintage squarely on Wizard's shoulders.   They own all the keys and block all the doors to the format's growth. 

Good show.

There was one shops deck, but no dredge.  We, unfortunately, had a very small turnout.  Presumably because there was an SCG IQ the same day, across town.  Our local vintage player base is also heavily into standard with a lot of people trying to qualify for the PT and such.  That was bad scheduling on my part. 
I'm hoping to entice a lot more players to attend next time by making it a Vintage for Cash event.
