  Summary
  8 wizards gathered to battle for glory in my 'birthday' Vintage! Paper Vintage is (hopefully) becoming more regular in NEO, with All-American Cards and Comics hosting us again, now for the second time. Big thanks to them as always!

  Mocha House was our breakfast spot again! I had the Mocha House platter. Recommend.

  Make sure to catch us for the next Team Serious Open event, TBA! Tentative date is 2022.11.12.

  Standings
  We played Swiss +1 rounds with no cut, with payout to T3. Here are the standings and archetypes.

  I have also been playing around with a blue splash in this deck, and it has felt pretty good. The big issue I've found is really that the deck is already so streamlined. There's like 2-3 flex slots in the entire deck.

  Stitcher's is one of the best cards in the deck imo, I don't love putting in a replacement that has summoning sickness and requires to be tapped so you can't use it to cast gaak. I do think that mulling aggressively to bazaar is a trap. Bazaar is the best card in the deck, but it isn't needed in every game.
