That stompy deck netted me a 4-1 in my first PTQ before landing a DCI suspension because apparently having the name "Level 6 Judge" wasn't kosher.

RIP 4 digit DCI number.

maybe stop being a dipshit and just tap it yourself

I had to auto-tap 12 dual-lands to cast my X=10 Dance of the Manse leaving UW open for the Dovin's Veto I hoped to draw. Then I had to click on the ten different things in my graveyard I wanted to reanimate. Then I had to manually discard two specific cards at the end of turn.

Clicking as fast as I could I still almost timed out. Didn't even get to activate lil' T.

That sounds like a feature to the other players honestly.

Lost to Cavalcade and Gruul

Edit: I think Cavalcade is a sufficient Golos-killer in Standard. Like what am I going to do, tutor for a Planar Cleansing to wipe their Chandra and Cavalcade?

Honestly the best iteration of cavalcade Ive seen was the one that didn't run Cavalcade or Chandra's Spitfire, those are absolutely the worst cards in the deck.

Apparently you can't cast murderous rider as a spell when it's been exiled by 3 mana vivien. It's still a creature card while in exile damnit.

7-2 with simic food.

Also just went 4-2 with mill in draft. Probably should have been 5, but misplayed slightly. Mill is really strong with 5 secret keepers and two lucky clovers.

9-2 with Golos field, with close wins being against Jeskai Fires, and everything else was pretty much a blow out.

No, what I wanted was to first cast the spell side from Vivien exile then the creature half from adventure exile. It isn't allowed. I looked it up and the gatherer ruling actually specifically mentions this situation: even though it is a creature card and thus castable, I guess when you choose to cast it as an instant it no longer counts as being something that Vivien allows you to play.

edit: Also this is a good time to do the event if you haven't started, I had some mighty soft opponents. Also it doesn't actually last for much longer.

I never flooded, screwed, and went first against some bad decks so I can't guarantee anything. My last loss was to a legit misplay (didn't haste cavalier pre-combat so I skipped combat) so it could have gone further too.

6-2 with the list, so thanks! So many times I didnt vantress in upkeep and I sure that lost me the last game.

4-2 with the boring choice of golos field. Both losses were to aggro decks that were quick out of the gates and I never drew a board wipe.

I never faced the mirror, so kinda glad I didn't go with my other plan of trying to figure out a deck that beats Field at the cost of being bad against everything else.

Looking at the top16 list from the latest SCG Standard Classic (http://www.starcitygames.com/decks/Star_City_Games_Classic/2019-10-06_standard_Philadelphia_PA_US/1/), there are many different decks, and surprisingly few Golos decks. Which of these decks do you guys think are well positioned in the Bo3 ladder on Arena?

It's hard to read much from this tournament what with a team format in the open–which muddies a lot of the signal–and many of the good people not playing in the classic. Golos and the food decks are undoubtedly T1, but I really want to know how real these adventure decks are. I think we'll only get a better picture after the MC.
