No I didnt search the archives, I was not aware that SCG had them. I will do that tonight. I have now tested the deck close to 100 matches and loving it so far. Cant wait to see the videos to see if I am doing anything wrong.
-thanks again everyone!
You can check mtgcoverage.com and search for 12-post, Jeremiah Rudolph, or just look through legacy in general. It's quite helpful for watching specific videos. (note: secondary matches aren't noted or tracked though)

Or just read my tournament recap where I link the 3 videos I was on camera. If you had read the thread x2 as you said you would know this.
Added 10 matchups to the 1st page for the new meta. Just brief things, but enough to get a glimpse.
Rock-
I did read your write ups, actually more than the specified 2 times.
-However your write ups will greatly in detail dont have EVERYTHING, so i prefer to watch it if i can.
-General questions:
1. if in your opening hand you have brainstorm and SDT, do you top first or brainstorm at end of their turn? Or is this dependent on your hand? (Assuming your on the play, but does it change if you are not)
-My initial thoughts are if on the play, SDT first turn, if not brainstorm?
What possible rationale could you have for Brainstorming on their EoT? What are you trying to accomplish with this line? You're not doing any relevant card selection with that, nor do you generally have a strong idea of what specific cards you want at that point. If you are looking for a specific card for the second turn, just spin Top on your 2nd upkeep to look for it, you see the same amount of cards. Unless you have a very specific scenario in mind (such as the option of searching for a free counter in a fast combo matchup or some such, or a card you specifically need to hide from a turn one discard spell), opening Top is almost always going to be the better line to take. EoT Brainstorm 'for value' to me seems like one of the worst possible openings you can have in this deck, only (slightly) trailed by opening Forest into Crop Rotation for Eye of Ugin when they open on Wasteland. Even just Island, Go is probably always better than a Turn 1 Brainstorm for no strong reason.

If i remember correctly these two articles explain the basic of paying brainstorm.
Read them, it may be an epiphany.
My personal opinion is that the correct use of brainstorm is NOT to cast it unless you are forced to do so: it's a reactive card, a red button to push in emergency.
Sent from my mobile, forgive me for grammar errors.
Ignorance is strength
General rule with brainstorm is exactly that. Use it at the latest time you can. Of course this doesn't mean use it late. Knowing that timing is essential in this deck and simply requires experience and practice. This same logic is used for top, map and needle in this deck. One of the many reasons this deck is difficult to play.
This also means you can keep on lands + Brainstorm and just play lands and sit on the brainstorm until needed.
So Star City Games Providence is this weekend. I remember seeing Jeremiah Rudolf playing that event three years ago is what revealed this deck's existence to me. So any Post players that are making it out that way this weekend, I wish you guys the best.
"Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void, empty, and become wind."
Providence is like the Mecca of the post deck, may all the pilgrims find fortune there.

Finished 3-1-1, deck felt really good.
Round 1 : Maverick (2:0)
Two very, very long games (game 2 all 4 Wastelands resolved, killing 3 cloudposts. Don't ask me where needles/crop rotation were loitering)
Round 2 : UWr Patriot (11)
Quick game 1, after casting Kozilek opponents scoops. Didn't see the red splash, so I didn't board....
Game 2: Blood moon any many counters, Snapcaster Mage beatdown (boarding Karn or second basic Forest would have been great)
Game 3 : Early Blood moon, Pithing Needle @SSDT, many counters...resolving Titan in 2. extra turn, too late....
Round 3 : Mirror-Match-Time!! (2:0)
Game 1: he starts, putting posts into play. I,'ve got candelabra, EoT Cloudpost, my next turn Glimmerpost, Kozilek, victory.
Game 2: early Karn (3rd round thanks to candelabra + enemy posts, starting to eat his posts) wins me the game.
Round 4: Elves (0:2)
Game 1 : he combos off 3rd turn, no crop in hand, lethal attack
Game 2 : added Elephant Grass, Swan Song from the SB, game was extended a lot. I had to hide behind chasm, unable to find needle for DRS or some fatty, so finally he get's me with a second Craterhoof Behemoth.
Round 5: TES (2:0)
Game 1 : he combos off, goes for burning wish, empty hand. So I crop into chasm, looking at 16 Goblins from empty the Warrens. I'm @19 life, enough time to develop the board and win
Game 2: very similar to game 1, plus my opponent had some really bad draws :-/
After all, the list seems to be really solid. I failed at the UWr match 2nd round, no doubt. Elves are totally difficult to fight, at least for me. Will have to do a lot of pratice for this MU. Elephant Grass isn't a good bullet at all for this MU. ATM I'm really tinkering on a second Forest MD, would have been nice today.
A rules question on Vesuva under Blood Moon :
Blood Moon already in play, Forest on my side as well. I guess I can play Vesuva, naming Forest as target. Causing Vesuva to enter the battlefield tapped, becoming a basic forest and so it's unaffected by the Bloodmoon. Is this correct?
This is correct. You will then be able to cast a Primeval Titan under Blood Moon.
Jeremiah Rudolph is about to be on the feature match for SCG Providence! You know what to do.

Jeremiah Rudolph (AKA Rock Lee) is the feature match of the SCG tournament right now! Wish him luck!
Edit: Unfortunately Jeremiah lost 0-2 due to mana screw, although he had a VERY close G1.

that wasteland activation though

I think he made a mistake the turn he repealed. He had enough mana to cast the s&t with the candlestick. That might have been a turning point of that game, either on sword / crusader or even better on the mind censor of the doom.
The g2 starting hand seems also greedy.
