        A few notes from the day:

        I realized that the City of Brass should be Mana Confluence but did not get around to reprinting them before the event. As such, in the last round, @gkraigher did the civilized thing and crushed me with a City in a Bottle.

        In round 2, I hardcast bridge from Below off of Black Lotus to send a message to my opponent.
        alt text

        I finished 3-1-1. My draw should have been a win but I am not actually very good at magic, and sometimes the allure of powerful things leads me to making bad plays. My loss was to Shops. In game one I kept a double bazaar hand on the play. I set up a decent start with my first bazaar, but my opponent played Sorcerous Spyglass on Turn One and shut me off. This was followed by 2 weak dredges and getting beat down by an army of Golems.

          Calling me civilized for putting your city into a bottle makes my mind go off in weird tangents. I appreciate the compliment, but that might have been the last City in a Bottle I ever cast in Vintage. Time will tell.

          My decklist should be called Mud Lies because, even though that's the decklist I submitted to you, it's about 20 cards off the list I actually played.

          If I remember correctly, you cast the bridge from below off lotus specifically to play around deathrite shaman....

                I played Saheeli Rai Oath again. Deck is almost the same from last tournament.

                  I love that one could say Shaman Ben played a more normal deck for this event, by playing Dredge.

                  Brian Kelly Freudian self-analysis of the day:
                  I like to express the id that a player would feel without the superego of being like, "oh you have to be nice."
