I had not played in a Vintage Challenge for a while but the new restriction on MM got me excited to dust off some of my favorite 1-drops. I decided to start with Goblin Welder. I played the below deck to a 5-2 record.

1 Tormod's Crypt

2 By Force
Here are my thought:
I love the Uba Mask but I faced 3 other Bazaar decks in the challenge so it was boarded out a lot in this event.
Null Rod was great. I'd like to find room for 1 more
I sometimes struggled to have red mana. That's part of the reason I am light on red. I'd like to have another Pyroblast though.
Daretti was just ok. I won a gome because of him but he was underwhelming in general
I never got to use Mindslaver but I think it still has a place.
Wurmcoil was great against the BUG decks
Sundering Titan was the most frequent game winner. This guy is awesome.
I underestimated how often I would have Karn in play. I think that I should put Lattice in the board for the free wins.
I'm curious what you all are doing. What are your favorite things in Welder?
