      This thread is meant for reports from mtgo daily events. I know a lot of people don't even consider them as tournaments or even as an event with any relevance, but I also know a lot of people disagree with that and at the very least Vintage Daily Events might currently be the most common way for people to play Vintage as it seems like about 15-25 people play these events daily.

      I'm gonna kick things off with my own report in the second post and if people submit reports with more than few lines of text I will continue to link the to this OP so that people can use the OP as a searching tool in the future and see how people have had success or failures with any given deck at any given time.

        Vintage Daily Swiss - Event #9667630 - 7.5.2016 21:30 (GMT+3)

        I just played in my first ever Vintage Tournament!

        20 or 19 players showed up. Player integgroll shows up in the standings but doesn’t have opponent and I have a bye. This is weird? Maybe integgroll joined the very second when the event fired and it messed it up somehow? After round one his record was 0-0… (standings screenshot)

        I am relatively new player to Vintage and this is my first Vintage daily. I chose to play a Day’s Undoing Belcher list I saw online. Did a few practice matches and noticed the deck can win out of nowhere even in the hands of a player with my skill level. Sideboarding was hard though because I had played so little with this deck. I have some knowledge about the format as I have owned P9 since it was available online and I have played some casual games every now and then, but competitive Vintage is new for me.

        The Decklist:

        Lands:

        • 1 Tolarian Academy

        Artifacts:

        • 1 Black Lotus
        • 2 Chrome Mox
        • 2 Expedition Map
        • 2 Goblin Charbelcher
        • 1 Lion's Eye Diamond
        • 1 Lotus Petal
        • 1 Mana Crypt
        • 1 Mana Vault
        • 1 Memory Jar
        • 1 Mox Emerald
        • 1 Mox Jet
        • 3 Mox Opal
        • 1 Mox Pearl
        • 1 Mox Ruby
        • 1 Mox Sapphire
        • 1 Sol Ring
        • 1 Time Vault
        • 1 Voltaic Key

        Sorceries:

        • 4 Day's Undoing
        • 1 Demonic Tutor
        • 4 Gitaxian Probe
        • 1 Ponder
        • 1 Time Walk
        • 1 Timetwister
        • 1 Tinker
        • 1 Wheel of Fortune
        • 1 Windfall

        Instants:

        • 1 Ancestral Recall
        • 1 Brainstorm
        • 4 Force of Will
        • 1 Pact of Negation

        Enchantments:

        • 4 Leyline of Anticipation

        Planeswalkers:

        • 2 Dack Fayden

        Creatures:

        • 4 Notion Thief
        • 4 Simian Spirit Guide

        Sideboard:

        • 3 Defense Grid
        • 4 Grafdigger's Cage
        • 1 Hurkyl's Recall
        • 3 Mental Misstep
        • 3 Mishra's Workshop
        • 1 Tezzeret the Seeker

        Round 1: Bye
        1-0

        R2: Lexor19 - Ravager Shops
        Game1: Im on draw. Start with active leyline. He plays Ancient Tomb and puts Thorn into stack. I respond with: Chrome Mox (not exiling anything), Mox Opal, exile Simian Spirit Guide, Sol Ring, Wheel of Fortune. Proceed with fresh hand: Mox Jet, Mana Vault, Git Probe, LED, Brainstorm, Time Vault. Then comes my turn1 and I cast Tinker into Voltaic Key. He doesn’t concede and I almost make a mistake but still manage to beat him in few mins with Notion Thief.
        G2: I mull down to 6 and keep a hand that loses to t1 Thorn of Amethyst following t2 another Thorn of Amethyst.
        G3: I get to activate belcher t1 to reveal academy as my 1st card, priceless! 😄 t2 i deal 19 and he’s at 1 life. t3 I activate belcher again and hit for 2 dmg. This one was close. I would have died to Reality Smasher and Though-Knot Seer next turn. I sideboarded Workshops in which I believe were meant for this matchup but actually almost got me as the second belcher activation wasn't lethal because of workshops.
        2-0

        R3: Sand_Crab - Dredge
        G1: Play first. Opponent mulls to 5 and starts with leyline of the void at the battlefield. I have a good hand and I can assemble VaultKey combo, but I misclick and untap Sol Ring instead of Mana Vault and lose. Yeah Im bad at this game...
        G2: Opponent mulls to 3 and I start with Leyline in play. He plays Bazaar turn1 and I play a dozen of spells in his first turn including Day’s Undoing into Grafdigger’s Cage, which he tries to misstep. I have Demonic Tutor to find a blue card and Im able to cast FoW. Few turns later I draw another Day’s Undoing which gets me Tinker, which gets me Belcher, which kills my opponent.
        G3: I get to play Grafdigger’s Cage at my opponents t1 (Leyline + Lotus Petal). I hardcast SSG and start beatdown. My opponent has Bazaar + Mana Confluence. Turn 8 my opponent is at one life and I have two Spirit Guides at the battlefield. He finally finds an answer to my Cage but my last card in hand is Timetwister which I cast with his evoked Ingot Chewer in stack. My twister finds another Cage and he concedes.
        3-0

        R4: Amor - I dont know the name of this deck!
        g1: First of all! I can’t believe I made it into the finals! At the very beginning of the game I make a huge mistake and cast Mox Opal not noticing that I already have one in play. I admit my opponent that Im playing in my first daily and that I am nervous and tired (already past midnight here). Well he responds: ”lol mine too. We’re not doing badly considering”. Mtgo somehow lost the replay of this game but luckily I had a screenshot from the game. My opponent got manascrewed and despite my slow hand I am able to activate belcher for lethal turn6.
        g2: Opponent mulls to 5, I mull to 6 and I keep a slow hand with no real action. Turn 6 my opponent casts Voltaic Key and Forces my Mental Misstep. Next turn he is able to hardcast BSC with the help of Mana Vault and Voltaic Key.
        g3: I keep a bad hand: Belcher, FoW, SSG, Brainstorm, Leyline, Opal, Emerald. It looks decent if you don’t understand that Mox Opal actually counts for zero mana, which I didn’t realize… I struggle with my hand and at the deciding turn I am one mana off for casting Time Vault and stealing my opponents Voltaic Key with Dack to assemble the combo. My opponent has two keys in the play and stealing one doesn’t make the difference. I don’t get a next turn.

        Final Standings:
        alt text
        This daily didn't get posted on the wotc site.

        My take-offs from the first ever daily I participated in:

        1. Blue Belcher is very explosive and able to steal games
        2. Mulligan decisions are hard and I often choose wrong
        3. Mox Opal is a legendary artifact
        4. Vintage is fun, dailies are fun

        Thank you for reading! Tips on how to play the deck or tune the decklist are welcome.

          This is a good idea. I'll probably start contributing to this thread when I play dailies. It'll be a good exercise to re-watch my matches and write them up.

            Hello, Nice deck but... your list it's 58 cards long?
            Maybe you are playing 4 belcher instead of 2?
            Regards.

              Thanks for posting this. This reminds me of my early magic days when tournament reports were king. You could read The Dojo for hours browsing deck lists and tournament reports.

              I really hope to see more of this here! And Yugular, I've kind of known you (online only) for a long time, I'm so glad to hear you're into Vintage now!

                By the way, looking at your screen shot, I THINK that your last opponent was on Tezzcast. They could have been on the UR-Welder (Or New City Vault if you prefer), both of those decks are some of the only ones that would run Opals, Tops, and Keys.

                  Thanks. Me too! I already have a second daily report 90% ready to submit. I will have to see if I have time to make a short youtube video to support it though before I send it in. And I was kinda hoping someone else would report also, but I will use this as my personal "blog" if no one else posts 😄 And yeah Ive been around for years in modo but competitive vintage is new to me.

                  And always feel free to ask questions and comment on my mistakes.

                    This happens when someone joins and then drops before the event starts. It's been a "glitch" for like 2 years now. I figured they would have fixed it by now, but I suppose it means it's unfixable.

                      Thanks for pointing out. It definitely was a typo. I was running 3x Mox Opal not a singleton Mox Opal. I will edit it. 2 belchers seems to be quite universally accepted as far as decklists I have seen. Though these decklists are hard to spot as so few people run the deck.

                        I'm pretty sure four belchers is the norm. Maybe I'm wrong...?

                          @Islandswamp For what it's worth, every Belcher list on mtgtop8 since 2014 has 4 Belchers in it.

                          I like to express the id that a player would feel without the superego of being like, "oh you have to be nice."

                            I didnt even remember that site. I always look forums and mtgsalvation for vintage decklists. Thanks!

                            Few lists that have been released on wotc site this winter have had 2xbelcher in it. My list is exact copy of some months old 3-1 list.

                              @yugular Yeah. I know people use mtggoldfish, but for pure event and decklist checking, I think mtgtop8 is... tops?

                                Vintage Daily Swiss - Event #9739921 - 29.5.2016 21:00 (GMT+3)

                                I am again playing Day’s Undoing Belcher. It was good to me and I feel like it’s a friendly deck for a beginner so why not give it another go. It seems that White Eldrazi is the new ”deck to beat” and even with my limited deckbuilding skills and understanding of the format I wanted to have at least one card in the sideboard to fight Phyrexian Revoker which can really ruin this deck if played t1/t2. I was scanning decklists to get an idea of a card that would be able to deal with Phyrexian Revoker that would be cheap and easy to cast and possibly have some fringe playability in other matchups. I couldnt really find what I was looking for but somehow remembered that Gut Shot is a free 1dmg spell that I would be able to cast always. Now I couldnt recall if anyone had played the card actually in Vintage but I decided to try it out nevertheless. (turns out 2 decks in 2014 run it according to mtgtop8.com) So I made a small change to my sideboard from last event: -1 Mishra's Workshop +1 Gut Shot

                                The Decklist:

                                Lands:
                                1 Tolarian Academy

                                Artifacts:
                                1 Black Lotus
                                2 Chrome Mox
                                2 Expedition Map
                                2 Goblin Charbelcher
                                1 Lion's Eye Diamond
                                1 Lotus Petal
                                1 Mana Crypt

                                Round 1: iamfishman - Day's Undoing Belcher with Candelabra (BoM2016 top8 belcher list maybe?)
                                G1: check my youtube video with commentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKpTaWcUDXA
                                G2: on draw. Mulligan to 6. He has active leyline and casts mox ruby. I play a t1 windfall off from Chrome Mox and Mana Cypt he is at 5 cards while i'm at 2. I had the opportunity to play Day's Undoing, but I thought Windfall would be more beneficial as I get to continue my turn. Well he is able to go down to 3 cards by deploying Map and LED to the battlefield. I draw Pact, Belcher, Black Lotus. Crack the Lotus to cast belcher and win next turn.
                                1-0

                                R2: voicesfordaze - White Trash???
                                G1: on play. Opp mulls to 6. I have active leyline and probe t1. My probe sees Cavern, Chalice, Priest, Flagstones, Mox Emerald, Wasteland. I allow him to draw a card for his t1 and when he tries to cast Chalice for 1 in response I play my Mana Vault. I think he should play chalice for 0 rather but im not sure about it... Turn2 I tinker for belcher saccing Mana Vault and I have enough mana from SSG's to activate belcher which hits for lethal.
                                G2: on draw. I keep a bad 7-card hand and get punished with Thalia+Kataki.
                                G3 on play. He plays t2 Kataki against my Leyline, Sol Ring, Map and Mox Opal. Luckily I have Gut Shot in hand! He is able to play Ethersworn Canonist the next turn and I cast Simian Spirit Guide which starts attacking while he refuses to block with Canonist. He also plays Vryn Wingmare the next turn and Stoneforge Mystic after that. I have drawn a belcher though and when he wastelands my Academy I play belcher in response and win next turn.
                                2-0

                                R3: footemanchu - Dark Petition Storm
                                G1: on draw. Made a stupid mistake. Kept a hand with LED thinking I can cast Day's Undoing off from it. Well that didn't work out. I had a FoW for his first Dark Petition but he was able to Mind's Desire for 3 and got 2xCabal Therapy + Dark Petition. Pretty sick. Couldn't beat that.
                                G2: on play. He duresses my belcher but Im still able to go off and win after several draw sevens.
                                G3: I mulligan down to 5 but he has to wheel on t1. I draw active FoW but he has duress and wins.
                                2-1

                                R4: BlueSkiesJ - Ravager Shops
                                G1: on play. Mull to 6. I deploy Time Vault t1 blind and need to Day's Undo on my t2 and he kills me with Ravagers and Trike. FoW from Day's Undoing could have been a difference here, but no luck for me after the lucky 1st match in this daily.
                                G2: on play. Opponent mulls to 5. t2 I wheel with Notion thief in play putting him to topdeck mode. I play belcher turn 3 and hit him with it three times for the kill. He just didn't find an answer.
                                G3: A close game. I keep a sketchy hand and almost die to my own Mana Crypt with active Key-Vault. However I manage to find a Hurkyl's Recall inside Jar and next turn DT for belcher and win.
                                3-1

                                Final Standings:

                                this daily didn't get posted on the wotc site.

                                Another finish in May for the prizes with the deck! My take-offs from the daily:

                                1. I am still bad at mulliganing decisions
                                2. I am still bad at playing with LED
                                3. This deck is powerful and fun
                                4. Gut Shot for the win!

                                Thank you for reading! Tips on how to play the deck or tune the decklist are welcome.

                                  @yugular Hey, there is no day's undoing in my BOM16 Blue Belcher and the leylines are in my sideboard 🙂

                                    🙂 I assume you are iamfishman then. Like I wrote you during the daily our match was fun. Lady Fortuna was definitely on my side of the table this time.

                                      Vintage Daily Swiss - Event #9762923 - 5.6.2016 21:00 (GMT+3)

                                      Im playing the same list as week ago. Belcher is still fun and I feel like I can go 4-0 or 3-1 with it if all the stars align in correct order and butterly on the other side of the planet makes his first fly around in the garden just when the event fires.

                                      R1: JdPhoenix - 5c Humans
                                      G1: play. Mull to six. Probe his hand: City of Brass, Dark Confidant, Noble Hierarch, Qasali Pridemage, Scab-Clan Berserker. Play mox, mox, mox, LED + Belcher and hit for 2 dmg. He draws his card and concedes.
                                      G2: draw. opponent keeps seven, i mull to 3: Voltaic Key, Mox Ruby, SSG and scry Mana Crypt to top. he plays t2 Scab-Clan Berserker and i die in a couple of turns.
                                      G3: play. keep7: Time Walk, Sol Ring, Gitaxian Probe, Mox Ruby, Tolarian Academy, Dack Fayden, Expedition Map. Opponent mulls to 6. I draw timetwister from probe and proceed to go off. Turn1 kill!
                                      1-0

                                      R2: MossdogTrainee (Randy Buehler) - White Eldrazi
                                      G1: play, mull to 6. Randy keeps his 7. For some reason I play nervously and for example play a probe to his chalice for 1. He has a good hand and I lose.
                                      G2: play. keep7 with only one mana source, should have mulliganed. Again made mistakes and for example miss a critical fow on revoker t1 that shuts off my Mox Ruby.
                                      **1-1 **

                                      R3: Kinny - Sylvan Mentor
                                      G1: draw. Turn1 kill! See it on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/y24-1JD9NuM
                                      G2: he had 3 fows -> i lose. I thought after game one that he is some kind of Eldrazi or workshop deck and my sideboarding was also way off.
                                      G3: I’m on play and manage to win thanks to some sweet topdecks! See the win in youtube: https://youtu.be/P_pF7uN6vlk
                                      2-1

                                      R4: JuggernautGO - DPS
                                      G1: on play, mull to 6 and my opponent keeps 7. t1 Mox Pearl, Black Lotus, Mana Crypt + Day's Undoing. I get to deploy mana and ruin his opening hand, seems good so far! He plays probe + library of alexandria and passes the turn. Ii play more manastones and undo again t2 with FoW backup. t3 i probe him and see that he plays DPS and proceed to go off with belcher kill.
                                      G2. draw. both keep7. He starts by Thoughtseizing my Memory Jar. I deploy some mana including Black Lotus and cast Timetwister with BL up. I pass the turn and he starts by putting Gitaxian Probe into stack, I respond with Notion Thief and draw a Sol Ring. He plays Cabal Therapy but I have two Mental Missteps in my hand and when I counter CT he concedes.
                                      3-1

                                      Final Standings:
                                      alt text
                                      This DE got posted on wotc site: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/vintage-daily-2016-06-06

                                      What a result again! I am happy! My first round opponent played another daily the same day with the same deck and managed to go 3-1 and his decklist go published at mtgo.com : http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/vintage-daily-2016-06-05 Round 2 I really played poorly, maybe I was too scared of my Hall of Famer opponent? And while I played poorly I cant take anything off from Randy. I watched the replays and he played really well, I propably would have lost even if I played to my best skill.

                                      So far I have played 4 dailies with the deck and managed to go 3x 3-1 and once 1-2-drop. That's surprisingly good for such a glass cannon.

                                        I win! 3-1! Plus 8 tickets, plus 30 playpoints and qp #35

                                        Main deck was very good. I think Chalice would be great in here. SB was medium good. Plague Spitter was strong. Trackers were outrageously good. Might need another Arcane Lab. Maybe it is worth just punting the Oath matchup to make Storm a better matchup?

                                            In order to have a follow up for my P9C Afterthoughts I needed to play more matches and if possible also play in several Vintage tournaments before the next P9C. I played in 3 different events (with 3-1 records) but decided to write a report from Vintage Daily event to promote it. There will be a follow up article sooner or later.
