It shines against blue based control, combo mirrors and against workshop decks. It struggles with fish decks, especially those that replace null rod with stony silence.

Glad to see a Vintage board here.
I've been playing a ton of Vintage recently and really like my list, so I figured I would share it.
Spells (44)
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk

I don't think this deck has ever needed a card advantage engine besides brainstorm, let alone one that costs 2 mana at sorcery speed which has no immediate impact on the board. I have tested it and...
I played a Team Trios tourney yesterday. I went 7-0, only loosing a total of 2 games. I really liked my list:
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Delver of Secrets
1 Snapcaster Mage
4 Lightning...

Congrats Adam! Cya there!
Flights booked! Coming in with 3 other Canadians.
Was nice meeting you, despite our awfully boring games. I would have recognized your name if I had thought to ask your username on here.
Congrats! Nice list :P. Play an island over a trop.
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Tarmogoyf
3 Grim Lavamancer
4 Stifle
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Spell Snare
4 Ponder
1 Preordain
My current list runs 2 dismembers, they are awesome.
Congrats! It would be a shame not to attend Worlds, especially because it's in the states...
Just wanted to let you know that I have always read and enjoyed your articles. Good luck with the real life stuff and I hope to see you writing again soon.
For anyone who doesn't mind spending a bit on a hotel that is close to the event site, the Providence Hilton is $192 (or at least it was for me with this coupon).

As I have stated before; if anyone needs help with sideboarding tips against a specific deck, they are free to PM me. I prefer not to post my full sideboard strategy on the forums, especially because...
I do not bring in spell pierce against zoo. It is far too essential to the combo/control match-ups to take out of the sideboard.
Enchantress, Combo Elves, Goblins, Zoo, Leyline Combo x2, ANT, Painter Combo, Deadguy (he scooped)
I didn't loose any matches. I have been playing another deck, but switched to thresh as a...
Chain Lightnings were really good, they were included as I expected lots of Zoo, Merfolk, Goblins ect. I really like having extra 1 mana burn to hit stuff like noble heirarch, lackey, apes, nactals...
Here is my updated list in case anyone is still interested in the deck:
4 Tropical Island
4 Volcanic Island
6 Fetch
4 Wasteland
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Nimble Mongoose
I just moved away from Kingston this year, but there are a few legacy players around town. Try going to 4 colour 8 bit (downtown on Princess) on a Tuesday night and asking around. Good luck!
He was a real asshole to his opponent he played the round before the DQ, I have never seen a guy litteraly cry for a judge while waving his arms frantically in front of his opponents board. But just...

I also played Chain Lightnings in Columbus, I like the change. I play them over 2 F/I and 1 Wipe Away right now, as I think 4 CL is overkill.
I played Threshold this weekend. I started with 2 byes then played against Belcher, Belcher, TES and lost on the 1st or 2nd turn every game.
On the bright side, I top 8ed the 310 person PTQ on...
