Well shit, I may go to GYGO.

So the GYGO tourney only had 23. I think the holiday ate the numbers everywhere.

Edit: I just got done setting up MWS if you guys want to play online and test.

MWS... I'm assuming thats some sort of deck building thing... that would be cool, got a link?

google search

Home - Magic Workstation, Cards Management and Decks Testing for CCG Players, Online Play

and then you have to download the zendikar patch - don't remember the site off the top of my head. it's a .net address

Collectible Card Game Headquarters sounds right though

Grand Prix at Columbus next summer!!

It has promo Umezawa's Jitte too!

Ooo... that sounds good.

So I'm looking at two new(ish) decks, one of which is a different breed of landstill I have not explored yet and it looks a little like this...

4 Flooded Strand
1 Island
4 Mishra's Facroty
1 Plains
1 Plateau
2 Scalding Tarn
1 Tolaria West
3 Tundra
3 Volcanic Island
2 Wasteland
1 Academy Ruins
1 Barbarian Ring

4 Brainstom
3 Counterspell
2 Fact or Fiction
2 Fire / Ice
4 Force of Will
3 Lightning Helix
2 Spell Snare
4 Swords to Plowshares

2 Humility
4 Standstill

2 Crucible of Worlds
3 Engineered Explosives

1 Ajani Vengeant
1 Elspeth, Kinght-Errant

BOARD
4 Meddling Mage
1 Dismantling Blow
2 Pyroblast
2 Ray of Distortion
1 Red Elemental Blast
2 Pyroclasm
2 Relic of Progenitus
1 Tormod's Crypt

This is one example I liked. Another I found on the boards looked like this...

2 [R] Volcanic Island
4 [R] Tundra
4 [4E] Mishra's Factory

1 [ZEN] Mountain
2 [ZEN] Scalding Tarn

2 [ALA] Elspeth Knight-Errant
4 [DIS] Spell Snare
4 [AL] Force of Will
1 [ALA] Ajani Vengeant
1 [EX] Forbid
3 [MM] Brainstorm
3 [OD] Standstill
2 [CFX] Path to Exile

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [IN] Dismantling Blow

SB: 3 [ALA] Relic of Progenitus
SB: 4 [CS] Counterbalance
SB: 3 [u] Red Elemental Blast
SB: 1 [FNM] Capsize

I'm playing with something similar to the second list. I'm probably gonna jump from ancestral visions to standstill. I'm trying to find numbers I like, but visions isn't getting the job done in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of shackles in the deck, and want to cap out my helixes and add another ajani, but that's me.

Ancestral Vision is not as good in this sort of deck simply because it removes the power of dropping a factory or two or a planeswalker followed up with a Standstill. Also, you don't have the 4 turn wait with Standstill, rather its a game of "do I break it now or next turn." There is no incentive for them to wait a turn or two with Vision, in fact it does quite the opposite, they want to speed up before you get the 3 cards from it.
