Got another trophy in the No Holds Barred MTGO Cube, it's so much fun. Got to Mana Drain into an Archon and lived the island + sapphire holding up Mana Drain t1 dream lol.
Clean 3-0 6-0 with one of the craziest decks I've drafted lol
I wrote a guide for Vintage Lurrus Doomsday, the hidden best deck in the format. Give it a read if you're a Vintage player.

I also like the Forge, Izzet Cutter, Stompy, and Blue Post MUs which might become a big part of the meta.
Side note, I want to test -1 Memory's Journey -1 Cavern, -1 Trop for +1 Cabal Therapy, +1 Underground Sea, +1 Island
First day testing post etomb/nadu ban and Oops and Breakfast feel amazing. 4-1s that were one mistake away from a trophy. I think Breakfast is going to be really good. Graveyard A+B combo that gets to play Tamiyo as a back up win con? Sounds familiar lol. Tamiyo makes constructs huge if that matters
Glad they finally hit entomb and went after two cards. It's a step in the right direction but missing Tamiyo and ToR is rough.
Forge Winter is here. Also, I think Breakfast is going to fall off then show up big at EW EU. Graveyard combo + Tamiyo is strong, plus saga + clues is a real beat down plan
My first trophy with Dimir Lurrus π, Iβm not a Lurrus player but wanted to expand my range some. I think playing Lurrus Doomsday made the transition easier lol. First league was 2-3, then 4-1, then 5-0 so feel like Iβm really learning.
Even your bad MUs like PO are slightly better now since they're a turn or two slower and play more creatures now. 1 Boseiju in the board and 2 Lorien Revealed have really helped smooth things out for me.
I think it's great, I've 4-1ed the last 4 leagues I played with something like this
I think Raker should be positive, I just played poorly and didnβt prep for this even. Unable to scream and as sweet but I did lose one game to it not interacting with Orc Army.
Happy with the list but might try exploring non-doomsday options. Had a lot of fun and loved getting to see everyone!
6-4 at NA Vintage Champs with this list. Started strong at 4-1, losing to unpowered scam.
R6, lost in 3 to Raker Shops.
R7, got the full Lurrus experience, triple waste+iteration.
I canβt complain about a positive record with zero prep.
Trophied with basically the same Oath list, turned the sideboard TS to FoN #3 and flipped a maindeck TS with a the sideboard MBT. Only dropped one game to Dimir Lurrus Control this time. Oath is a sleeper hit rn.
@bryant-cook.theepicstorm.com and I have been in the lab and I picked up a sneaky trophy with one of our testing lists:
Gemstone ties the room together with Opal and the mana feels pretty good!

Trophied with Oath, I think this deck is super under played right now. Just missed the 5-0 10-0 to MWI of all decks lol.
This list feels so smooth though, been tuning it a lot lately and very happy with where it landed. Split a small local cash tournament with it recently.
Doomsday hasn't felt great lately so started messing with Lurrus Doomsday. This list feels so smooth. Doomsday Frog Tamiyo is BACK! And thanks to @bryant-cook.theepicstorm.com for helping with earlier iterations that lead to this, the tutoring sessions are well worth it.
DDFT is dead
Long live DDFT
3 fluster (enabled by consider) is busted against Lurrus as well. Happy with the deck, made a couple of bad misplays and it cost me but still had a great event.
I only lost 3 matches out of 10 to Lurrus. All of which I made pretty big misplays so I donβt blame the deck for it. People are more prepared for Murktide now but it still forced them to keep swords/spellbombs in. I had a multiple games where I won with DD and my OP had swords in hand.
Consider has been an amazing. Obviously great for delve but just being an instant is huge. Responding to bowman, building storm for fluster, holding up fluster, casting it after you βdrewβ it with necro, clearing cards in piles, etc. Even if I went down to 1 murktide, Iβd keeping the considers.
I did lose to Sphere shops which the 2 sabotages usually in the board would have been good against but thatβs an uncommon deck and it does ensure a win, I donβt regret excluding them. I might end up playing around with the 4th FoN slot and possibly the 3rd murktide or nullrod slot.
Really liked Bryantβs list. I was testing sleight of hand, duress, and chain of vapor main before running his 75. Out of the >35 matches I played, I had 1 game where Sleight would have won, zero where duress in a pile would have won, and a 2 or 3 where Chain of Vapor would have won.
Eternal Weekend EU Summary thread: I played @bryant-cook.theepicstorm.comβs exact 75 and to a 5-3 record. Started 1-3 so happy with the result even if I got the last 5-3 seat at 49th place
2-1 Oath
0-2 Dredge
1-2 Sphere Shops
1-2 Esper Lurrus
2-1 Eldrazi
2-0 Esper PO
2-0 Oath
2-1 Doomsday
FWIW: my draw was a game where I had a murktide I knew I could resolve but not enough turns to attach since we were in time and the loss was to Raffaele Ramagli. I also made a couple of major misplays vs Raffaele, who played very well, so I wonβt put all the blame on the deck.
Went 4-2 at 4seasonβs Vintage event with Doomsday. Only lost to decks with Brainfreeze in them, the Murktide pivot is great but those are also Pyroblast decks, unfortunately. But currently 4-1-1 vs Esper Lurrus since Iβve been on this list so Iβll take only having one bad MU.
Second 5-0 with Vintage Doomsday this season. First league with @bryant-cook.theepicstorm.com's list. The Murktides were great and holding up consider and fluster was really nice. Highly recommend trying it if you've been on the more stock list, he also has a SB guide to help get use to it.
You deserve it dude, good work!!
5-4 sure looks positive to me! You just happened to win round 9 by having more endurance than your opponent, they certainly canβt claim a win or draw.
Locked in for 4seasons and EW Europe. Sad I'm missing NA but can't wait to play magic in Europe for the first time!
Sadly can't make EW NA this year after a last minute family emergency. Going to miss everyone I got to hang out with last year! Since I won't need it, here's my vintage DD sideboard guide: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Some last minute EW testing, pretty old on Chain but entirely off thoughtseize. Didn't run into Dredge, definitely a concern if I decide to cut leylines.
