I had to get my laptop fixed because the fan like blew up or something funky. Was hoping I'd get it back in time to finish the round in time and they called me and said they re-formated it like @ssholes and didn't save anything except my pictures and homework files. So unfortunately, it looks like I'm being forced to drop from the tournament.
My PM's aren't going through to Eseph. If you see it on here, I'm gonna keep a game up for a little while. If you join and I don't respond, I'm at the dining hall and will be back soon.
Thanks for the kind post, sometimes that archtype gives me trouble if it gets going smoothly. But, unfortunately for you, it kinda just shat on you for our match.
I'm in. Finishing up the tournament over on TheSource since I believe I'm in top8 but I should have time to do this also. No decklist yet, deciding what to play.
2xGreater gargadon: really can't get the logic behind this...10 suspend play? seems risky in a fast moving vintage game...and 10 mana cast is pretty fat.Sacrificing things to remove counters doesn't really seem a nice idea to me...maybe it was added to get some kind of aggroish tech...or who knows.Really I can't get this card in side...Probably because i'm noob °_°
Think about TSOath and then you'll understand. It's a way to get rid of spirit tokens so they can't Oath. Can't be countered, pithing needled, etc.
The problem with Brain Freeze is that it's pretty much all or nothing. If you can't get the storm count up high enough to wipe out their library, you might just be giving them what they need to win.
I doubt I'm seeing it at the same angle as Glurman, but from my perspective it seems that he means Brainfreezing yourself as "pump" for Tog. A Brainfreeze for 4 is +6 damage.
Some combination of Cabal Therapies and Duress would suffice. Probably something like 2-3x Cabal Therapy + 4x Duress/Thoughtseize. And, of course add the black tutors to find Hermit Druid.

I've heard there's a scene in Binghamton somewhere but not sure where.

Stifle/Trickbind Hulks ability right away. This leaves all the combo pieces in the deck and thus still giving them dead draws.

I fail to see how Jotun Grunt helps deal with Flash.

To combat Oath.
