Vintage Champs 2015 is in the books, and with record-breaking attendance, cannot be considered anything other than a smashing success. Huge props go out to Nick Coss, Card Titan, and all associated employess and consultants who organized and ran the largest Vintage event ever held (and who also graciously provided us access to all of the standings and decklists below). Vintage Champs attendance has been climbing steadily the past few years, with both renewed interest from older players, as well as slowly expanding the player base to newer/younger players.



483 were registered for Vintage Champs 2015, and although there were 20+ no-shows (mainly people who slept in or just registered to get the sweet Tolarian Academy playmat), that number combined with the byes from Legacy Champs Top 8 playoff the same morning, meant 10 rounds of Swiss, followed by a Top 8 playoff.

Below we have compiled the Top 128 decklists (with more appearing on this page as time allows), a full metagame report of all decks/archetypes played and in what quantities, as well as some statistics for analysis (we will add more as time permits, or as requests/suggestions roll in). Videos and a tournament report roundup (with links to players’ tournament reports from the event, as they surface) can be found at the bottom.

(Note: this page will be constantly updated as we add more decklists, round up more tournament reports, and as more videos are uploaded to YouTube by the tournament organizer. Last updated 10/4/2015)



Metagame Report

Some brief notes on the categorization of these archetypes:

1) Workshops have been more or less fully broken out. Workshop FroBots (as it existed during VSL and shortly thereafter) is distinct for cards like Porcelain Legionaire. Workshop Stax is distinct for the presence of 3 or more Smokestacks. Workshop Hangarback Aggro is distinct for 0 copies of Kuldotha Forgemaster, and usually the presence of both Hangarback Walker and Arcbound Ravager (some of which find their way into other hybrid lists as well). Workshop Terranova is distinct for the presence of 6-8 manlands (such as both Mishra’s Factory and Mutavault). Workshop Terra Nouveau is the newest creation of the Forinos and Nick Detwiler, distinct to the presence of multiple copies of Darksteel Juggernaut, Null Rod, and Tabernacle main deck.

2) There are a few copies of Landstill that have Monastery Mentor in them (usually with 2 or fewer copies), but these are still classified as Landstill, due to the rest of the deck being distinctly Landstill.

3) Every City Vault is used to describe the various nicknames people have given their own spinoffs of the Steel City Vault-type decks, which feature minimal countermagic beyond Force of Will, and an abundance of mana and draw spells to overwhelm the opponent, and usually establish the Time Vault + Voltaic Key combo, or Tinker for an artifact creature.

4) Grixis Control decks ranged from slow and grindy decks with few win conditions, to the decks seeking to couple Dack Fayden + Notion Thief, to a few decks using Goblin Welder + Baleful Strix recursion. The Grixis Delver decks are broken out separately as Delver URB, and the Pyromancer Gush Grixis decks are broken out separately as Pyromancer Gush URB.

5) Gifts Ungiven was largely absent from the tournament, mainly showing up as a 1-3 of in some of the Mentor UWB lists that did not perform very well.

6) The most played sub-archetypes were Workshop Forgemasters (55), Dredge (51), Oath (35), and Mentor UWR (26).

7) 484 people registered, but one player was registered twice (dropping active registrants to 483, as noted below), and 21 people registered but did not play (or did not show up), dropping the active player count to 462, as noted below.
