Do you feel like discussing your thoughts on the differences?

@xxhazardxx Haha... bless you Sir. I love your style. I hope you get in there, draw super hot and rip it up.
So, I was falling asleep last night thinking of the deck and I had two ideas... first, why not just try Salvagers over Griselbrand entirely.
Then the second thought came, how committed am I to the Oath plan at that point. Salvagers hardly needs to be cheated into play... So what about abandoning the Oath plan, and just playing 5cBomberman?
I want to keep the Burning Wishes and Storm option (whih is why I want to stay 5c and not the typical Esper build.
Here's a thought:
4 Forbidden Orchard -> 1 Scalding Tarn, 1 Tropical, 1 Volcanic, 1 Tundra
4 Polluted Delta
2 Scalding Tarn
1 Tropical Island
2 Underground Sea
1 Tundra
1 Volcanic Island
1 Tolarian Academy
1 Library of Alexandria1 Mana Crypt
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Emerald
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring
1 Lotus Petal4 Force of Will
2 Flusterstorm
4 Mental Misstep4 Oath of Druids -> 4 Salvagers (is four needed? Maybe two Salvagers, 2 Mana Drain?)
3 Griselbrand -> 1 LED, 1 Aether Spellbomb, 1 Tinker
3 Burning Wish2 Abrupt Decay
2 Hurkyl’s Recall
1 Moat2 Paradoxical Outcome
1 Ponder
1 Time Walk
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Dig Through Time
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Brainstorm1 Tendrils of Agony
1Toxic Deluge
1 Balance
1 Show and Tell
1 Yawgomoth’s Will
1 Flusterstorm
1 Ancient Grudge
4 Leyline of the Void
4 Leyline of SanctityThoughts? Am I just going off the deep end now?

Ok: Here's some goodies for you - http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9781&d=256355&f=VI
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/670484#paper
And I know some dude in Australia has a list that includes the following cards: Monastery Mentor, Paradoxical Outcome, Auriok Salvagers... But I haven't been able to find it.
Additionally, here is a dude named Kev playing a bomberman on Modo... super loose play btw... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8TlIxAtkHc
Something else I might mention, is that if you do chose to play a Bomberman Oath build with Paradoxical, I suggest running EE and Top, since they are great with Paradoxical (Top is an extra card draw with outcome), and together with the Bomberman going off, they draw your whole deck.

the main differences is that i played recoup to flashback time twister as my graveyard shuffle effect, and i played sun titan and vault key and finally i played tinker into sphinx of the steel wind and memory jar

Okay, here is some feed back from playing this deck at Gen Con:
Round 1: Played against Solemnity/Dark Depths combo. Won G1 on the play with a T1 Orchard/Oath. Opponent conceded before I saw a card. Lost 2 and 3 to too much countermagic.
Round 2: Crushed Ravager Shops
Round 3: Lost to Sultai control (Leovold and stuff)
Round 4: Beat Ravager Shops again (wtf?)
Some things I learned/took away.
The one of Salvagers completely changed the deck. I won with salvagers combo way more than Griselbrand beats/ Storm. Although, I had several concessions from just Griselbrand.
Two, main deck Moat was an absolute house against Shops.
In the second event, I switched to a Not White Tezz deck. I don't have the deck list, but just big blue, lots of counters etc.
Again, in this event I lost to two Blue decks and smashed two Ravager Shops. I wasn't even playing Moat. But still had the two main deck Hurkyl's and ingot chewers/Ancient Grudges from the sideboard.
On the whole, I was 4-4 for Vintage. Add in my 3-1 Legacy final and I had a pretty good weekend of Magic!
Thanks for the all the help in building and brewing!!

@xxhazardxx Glad to hear you had a good time!
I didn't know you were building this for GenCon! I wonder if we ran into each other without knowing it

@brass-man Did you play both events? What did you play?
