Gushing about the Team Serious Open

@CHA1N5 Awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm certainly going to mention that we should get Vintage going again in Kzoo the next time I visit the Odyssey. Think you'd be interested in driving down sometime?
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." -
@Topical_Island Yes, Kzoo would be a welcome return. There are at least 2-3 other Kzoo players (Charlie, Tony, Mike) that I know would consider them.

well played, thanks for joining us and writing the report!
The Vintage format lives on broken cards, and I see no reason why there shouldn't be broken cards that benefit my particular deck of choice to an inordinate degree. I mean, that's only fair.
-
@mediumsteve Again, my pleasure. I had a blast, and thanks for the pizza... I realized since I wrote that up that you could have killed me with Lotus + Land + Scabclan + Bolt as well... What were you trying to kill me with there? I was curious but just didn't ask.
-
talking about game 3?
I don't think I had any out to Emrakul at that current board state.
I had a Path to Exile in hand so I thought I could have beaten Griselbrand, although Frank told me afterwards that you had a Misstep so you probably would have won the counter war over that.
I also had a Path in hand game 2 vs Ojutai.

Oh yeah. One other thing. I beat Kari last night and didn't have to dishes... but in doing so I opened my deck box and discovered that I must have stolen a 20 sided die. I'm not sure if it's a big deal, but I just wanted to know if anyone knew who's it was, since that seems like step one. Its the larger model and powder blue.
A little like this one... but not at all

@mediumsteve
Thank you. It helps to know. Yeah... I now seem to recall that my factory got that particular bullet in the end. -
ah I see now that you play 4 decay in your list... a lot of lists have way fewer outs to Priest.
your list is much better situated to deal with my hate than most.

@mediumsteve Thanks. Yeah... I think that in some ways Priest is just the best card in the format right now... or maybe I should say, if you know that old phrase about FoW, "the glue that holds the format together"... that's kinda priest right now... or at least she's a big pain in my butt.
I should thank Josh Potucek who I met on here for convincing me to just load up on Decays and to lean out my Oath+Creatures package. He was right about that one.
Your list looked sweet. I love Scab-Clan. There are so many possibilities for that card. And Cavern is just a house. What do you run white for in your list? Just Path? Was there more?
-
There are a lot of white cards in the sideboard. Going to wait a couple of weeks before posting a list.

@mediumsteve Totally cool. I was just running cards like Cabal Therapy through my head. Dunno if that would even be good. Having access to Priest probably seems better.
