With @islandswamp mentioning my list, I felt inspired to share my experiences with my list over Eternal Weekend. It is not as detailed as others, sinceI really only have my pad paper scraps to rely on to recall certain events from matches.

Going into Eternal Weekend, I reflected on the following:
-Being able to attack through Moat, a counter-measure that also deals with Eldrazi threats in blue decks, was something I wanted to have available.
-I suspected that a significant amount of Eldrazi decks would be played, so I decided to relegate the Thorn of Amethysts to add Crucible of Worlds and Smokestack. I also wanted Ghost Quarter main since testing with my friends back of home with colorless Eldrazi also helped against both Eldrazi and Workshop mirrors.
-Returning to Mishra's Factory and Karn, Silver Golem to crew/animate vehicles felt like such excellent synergy that I wanted to try it out.
-Chief of the Foundry was a strong 'lord effect' for a beatdown plan against Null Rod decks. Additionally, it allows for stronger vehicles and for Phyrexian Revoker to Crew Skysovereign, Consul's Flagship solo.
-With so many 1-ofs and 2-ofs, adding Inventors' Fair would prove to be a crucial tutor for the list (in addition to regaining life from Ancient Tomb), so pending on your draws, you can change your game plan accordingly. Smuggler's Copter also allowed for some card filtering to help with this strategy. Combined with Crucible of Worlds, you end up having a very powerful engine that uses 'every part of the deer'.

Onward to the weekend itself....

Sideboard:

Round-by-Round Observations:
Rnd-1 – Eldrazi (Christopher McCurry)
Outcome: 2-0
Notable cards from opponent: Matter Reshaper
Noteworthy cards for me: Phyrexian Metamorph, Ghost Quarter

Rnd-2 – Omni-Tell, Sultai Oath (Colin Wu)
Outcome: 2-1
Noteable cards from opponent: Blazing Archon, Omniscience, Show and Tell
Noteworthy cards for me: Smuggler’s Copter, Fleetwheel Cruiser
-My opponent attempted to race me by attacking with Griselbrand while keeping me at bay with Blazing Archon; however, using Oath to get Blazing Archon out milled him to very few cards left. Smuggler's Copter bought enough time to win a game via decking.

Rnd-3 – MUD (Charlie Krug)
Outcome: 2-0
Noteable cards from opponent: Mishra’s Workshop
Noteworthy cards for me: Chief of the Foundry, Crucible of Worlds, Ghost Quarter

Rnd-4 – MUD (Ryan Glackin)
Outcome: 2-1 (Ryan scooped when we went to turns since he was paired up.)
Noteable cards from opponent: Ensnaring Bridge, Smokestack, Crucible of Worlds
Noteworthy cards for me: Phyrexian Metamorph, Triskelion

Rnd-5 – Gush-Mentor (Jonathan Suarez)
Outcome: 2-1
Noteable cards from opponent: Gush, Monastery Mentor
Noteworthy cards for me: Sphere of Resistance, Thorn of Amethyst

Reflections:
I found myself slightly dissatisfied with 2x The Tabernacle of Pendrell Vale, so I decided to cut one for a Spine of Ish Shah, a piece of technology I implemented after noticing it in Hiromichi Ito’s sideboard for his Workshops list. Inventors' Fair could allow me to tutor for it in certain situations.

Noteable cards from opponent: Paradoxical Outcome, Thoughtcast, Force of Will
Noteworthy cards for me: Sphere of Resistance, Tangle Wire, Smokestack

Reflections:
This list performed well. Due to how this list could attack from so many different angles, it kept most of my opponents off-balance as to how you would attack their game plan. The ability to change your plan due to the card filtering and the tutor effects allowed for this.

Going into Round 6, I really had no idea what I was facing. I wish I could have shown the capabilities of what my deck could do on camera better, but alas, it was just not meant to be.

Overall, an 11th place finish was not too shabby.

Finally, I feel that my deck name needed some explanation.

I named the deck after what was playing on my TV at the time while considering my deck choice: the LEGO movie. The scene that was playing was when 1980s Spaceman was building spaceships to save the rest of the crew. He also happens to be my favorite character in the movie. In my first pack of Kaladesh, I opened the Skysovereign, Consul’s Flagship, and it reminded me of this scene. Thus, with all of these happening simultaneously, the name’s origin came to be.

Seeing how this deck seems to do some many awesome things, I have started calling it LEGO shops ever since because it reminds me of building with LEGO (Helicopters, Cars, 'Space' ships, etc).

Thanks for reading.

The NYSE Open is one of the most lucrative and illustrious tournaments for the Vintage community.

Held in New York each time, this tournament typically takes place during the summer months and brings people from many surrounding states.

Every year, the NYSE Open produces one of the most generous payouts on this side of the world, giving away multiple pieces of power and several Vintage format staples as prizes to top finishers!

How would you like to secure your spot to such a lucrative tournament?

Duration: Swiss rounds based on attendance with cut to Top 4 or 8 as required.

Time: 10:30AM Registration, 11AM Start
Cost: $30
Head Judge: Ben Pollin

-Store credit based on attendance and awarded to top finishers.

---

Proxy Guidelines (as per NYSE Open VI Rules):
"Most everyone on these forums knows what a proxy is. A proxy, for the N.Y.S.E. Open, will be defined as the following:
A Magic: the Gathering card with the full name, card type (instant, sorcery, land, artifact, creature, enchantment, planeswalker), full mana cost and text clearly displayed. This can be done in one of two ways:

1. Using a Sharpie, not pen or pencil, to fill in the required text on a card where it can clearly be read. Revised lands are excellent for this, new commons and uncommons aren't usually, as they're darker, and far tougher to read.

2. Using acetone to remove certain text from a card that's close to the intended proxy (i.e. Lotus Bloom, with certain words removed to proxy a Black Lotus, Ancestral Visions with certain words removed to proxy an Ancestral Recall).
   Take pride in your proxies! Your opponents should know at all times what your proxies are.

Using 15 Swamps to make your proxies is a bad idea, as it's going to create confusion. If you're proxying Moxen, please use a land from each appropriate color to make a proxy for each according Mox (i.e., your Mox Sapphire is on an Island, your Mox Jet is on a Swamp, your Mox Pearl is on a Plains, etc.).
Please use your best judgment when creating your proxies; we know what will and what won't be easily recognizable.

Your opponents should not ever be at a disadvantage because you don't own the cards. There is nothing wrong with using proxies as you slowly pick up the cards that you need to play Vintage, but please consider your opponents while you're making them, as we're out to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. One of my favorite aspects of the Vintage community is that we look out for each other, whether it's constant vigilance to counter potential thievery, or the day to day stuff that mostly goes unnoticed. Let's all do what we can to make this event as special as we can for our fellow aficionados of Magic's greatest format.

If you're worried that your proxies may not pass muster, please speak to the head judge of the event before the event starts. Leave enough time to create new proxies, if necessary.

Using paper printouts of card faces and gluing them to cards is not acceptable! This alters the thickness of the cards, making the cards marked for all intents and purposes. Please don't do this, as the judges will be instructed to consider these as marked cards, and enforce punishment according to DCI Competitive REL event regulations!"

Interesting read.

By removing Ancestral Recall and Time Walk, do you think having blue at all in the deck is still worth it? Or is Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, Wonder and Deputy of Detention the major reasons for keeping blue.

What if the deck became strictly just GW survival at that point with Survival as the engine and a diverse set of hatebears (Gaddock Teeg, Grand Abolisher, etc)?

Curious to know which hatebears you are considering.

@gutocmtt

in the countermagic versions of survival, are there every any matchups where you want to sideboard out your countermagic and just go full throttle on the hatebear package?

I have considered the idea for the dredge matchup and the mirror, but not sure if that's a recommended approach.

@gutocmtt

Daggers on 9th. But great work regardless!

Is there a typical sideboard plan against lands?

My guess is that the reason questing beast is in sideboards is for this match to combat glacial chasm, but what else needs to be considered?

so I've been noticing that tangram's Survival list gave up countermagic (except for Mental Misstep) at this point.

https://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=31997&iddeck=276700

Are we aiming to just 'be the beatdown' now and give up trying to fight a counter war these days?

I had a thought...

with mental misstep restricted, has there been any thought on porting over a setup of survival that got it banned in legacy years ago?

I do not know very much about legacy, but I did find an article about survival from years past by flores:

Link provided below:
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/top-decks/survival-survival-survival-survival-2010-10-28

Looks like several survival approaches were used prior to the legacy banning:
(1) ooze survival (necrotic ooze, phyrexian devourer, triskelion/walking ballista)
(2) g/w survival
(3) u/g survival
(4) retainer survival

Is the contemporary approach (vengevine, hollow one, basking rootwalla chain) just a better option?

What about the current secondary modi operandi (1) hatebears plan (2) hogaak (3) control elements?

Would there be any merit to incorporating the former legacy plans (for reference, the banning occurred in 2010)?

My initial guess is that the printing of Hollow One (printed 2017) just outclasses the old technology, but I would love to hear the thoughts of others on the matter.

This is definitely an interesting strategy to explore.

For awhile I was brewing r/g eldrazi that focuses primarily on green than red.
The red was primarily for blood moon, meltdown, pyroblast, cindervines, etc.

That said, the green components I used was ancient stirrings, sylvan library, and boreal druid (when in conjunction with blood moon, this was how you could get the colorless for eldrazi).

I really haven't explored this more since pre-modern horizons, but the inclusion of once upon a time, collector ouphe, force of vigor, etc; there is a lot of resiliency and consistency. It really reminds me of modern's green tron at that point.

I hope that gives a few more ideas on how to put this together.

Here's my initial rough draft.

<Main>
4 Stitcher's Supplier
3 Carrion Feeder
1 Putrid Imp
1 Anger
3 Hermit Druid
4 Vengevine
3 Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis
3 Gravecrawler*
4 Bloodghast
2 Collector Ouphe*

1 Demonic Tutor
4 Cabal Therapy

4 Bridge from Below

2 Altar of Dementia
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Emerald

2 Badlands
3 Bayou
2 Bloodstained Mire
3 Verdant Catacombs
4 Undiscovered Paradise
4 Bazaar of Baghdad

<Sideboard>
3 Veil of Summer
4 Leyline of the Void
2 Assassin's Trophy
2 Maelstrom Pulse
2 Collector Ouphe*
2 Seeds of Innocence

*: Numbers/card choices adjusted as needed.

(1) How do we win after we activate Hermit Druid?
-cast a Cabal Therapy via Hermit Druid to clear the way;
-Trigger Multiple Bridge from Below
-Convoke Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis twice
-Trigger Multiple Vengevine
-Play Badlands
-Trigger Multiple Bloodghast
-Alpha Strike (due to Anger)

(2) Is Altar of Dementia too cute? Do we just want to run the full set of Collector Ouphe in the main instead?
