Thanks again to everyone who came out! I'll try to get the next Ohio events scheduled soon.

I guess 6th Welder misses 1x time vault.

[fsecco]

1st place deck seems to be missing 2 cards MD... what are they?

EDIT: probably Vault/Key? Or +2 Digs?

[GrandpaBelcher]

I'm not sure what Jake's 1st place list is missing. I don't think he was playing Vault-Key because he asked how I made room for it in mine. The list concurs with what I have on paper. Edit: the missing cards are Tolarian Academy and Nihil Spellbomb. List is updated.

The 6th place list also concurs with what I have on paper. If it adds to 59 cards, it's probably missing Time Vault.

9th with Pitch Long. Great day, great guys, great fun. Thanks everybody!

[merfolkOTPT]

Sorry nat for the issue with the decklist. 

A fun event once again, and my first TSO in awhile.  Gush combo seems really good to me right now, and I don't understand why people hate on Gifts Ungiven.  What did you think of your sideboard throughout the day?  Did you play against Dredge and Shops much?

[VibeBox]

josh here

my corrected decklist is on mtgpulse
http://www.mtgpulse.com/event/18460#260370

time vault is listed but sol ring and a third mox opal are not. (i played 61)
been calling it Cruise City Vault, but after seeing it listed above i might have to start calling it Cruise Control cause that's what it feels like sometimes. just draw all the crads until you bludgeon them into submission with counters.

hated getting matched against the martello shops deck in t8. the 2 welders, 3 dacks, and hurkyl's make it a bearable matchup but still no beuno.
i was way too afraid of young pyromancer and it was barely around
my sb is where it really showed that this was my first vintage deck. it was not that helpful aside from the cages and traps  ^_^;
