We had 13 Vintage gamers show up at Comic Town for some hot action before Champs. When the dust had settled, the standings looked like this:

1. Sam Krohlow - Belcher
2. Nat Moes - Belcher
3. Paul Blakeley - Grixis Delver
4. Steve Sasala - Merfolk

Decklists are being withheld until after Eternal Weekend.

Haha.

Most Vintage decks are 5 to 10 cards different. You could say that about 80-90% of vintage decks.

The top 2 decks are probably different then what most would expect. : D

Really? You want these lists? Sam and I had a combined record of 0-7 at Champs.

Anyway, I'll see if I can find the sheets.

Despite you having bad results in a single tournament, I think it's important for the game as you and your team are the ones who develop the archetype Smile

Plus I loved the pics on the event, so I´m curious about the lists!

Speaking of which, why are there no recent-ish threads to discuss Belcher variants?  In addition to the Blue Belcher list that Randy and Pikula helped popularize in the Vintage Super League, there the R/G variant that GrandpaBelcher had been working on and the U/G one that Danny Batterman played at Vintage Champs (https://batterskullsbrews.wordpress.com/2015/08/27/the-peoples-cannon/).

Is there a thread for Belcher and I just missed it?

No recent Belcher threads. Here are the lists Sam and I played at this event. We went a combined 7-1-1, and my only loss was to Sam. (You'll see why when you get to the sideboards.)

1. Sam Krohlow - Days Undoing Belcher
2. Nat Moes - Days Undoing Belcher
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Black Lotus
1 Brainstorm
4 Chrome Mox
4 Day's Undoing
4 Expedition Map
4 Force of Will
4 Goblin Charbelcher
2 Hurkyl's Recall
4 Leyline of Anticipation
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Memory Jar
1 Mind's Desire
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
4 Mox Opal
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
2 Pact of Negation
4 Serum Powder
1 Sol Ring
2 Tezzeret the Seeker
1 Time Vault
1 Time Walk
1 Timetwister
1 Tinker
1 Tolarian Academy
1 Voltaic Key
1 Windfall

Sam's Sideboard:
3 Mystic Remora
3 Ancient Tomb
3 Steel Sabotage
1 Hurkyl's Recall
1 Rebuild
2 Pithing Needle
2 Mindbreak Trap

Nat's Sideboard:
2 Empty the Warrens
4 Simian Spirit Guide
2 Dack Fayden
3 Volcanic Island
3 Mystic Remora
1 Flusterstorm

After this performance (and Sam's event at the Team Serious Invitational, which I wrote a bit about here: http://legitmtg.com/competitive/the-vintage-advantage-decks-of-the-team-serious-invitational/), we took the same 60-card maindeck to Champs and went a collective 0-7. My opinion coming out of Champs, based on our experience and that of Danny Batterman's, who admittedly did better, is that blue-based Belcher decks continue to be a novelty. They win when luck is with them or when the opponent doesn't know what's going on, but otherwise they're fragile and unpredictable

When I got back from Champs, I put RG Belcher back together. At least RG Belcher has consistency, and varied win conditions, and is probably a half-turn faster.

If you want to start a Belcher thread or two or three, I'm happy to participate.

I'll see if I can get the other two lists from Steve and Paul.

I thought you meant being held until after Eternal Weekend 2016. Cant unlock this time released document capsule any sooner, doh!

It was highly based off Randy Buhlers list, I snuck Vamp Tutor in there because I liked it, 1 or 2 other card changes and a meta game SB
