2nd place Game Day —April 19, 2015
2-0 vs Mardu mostly-warriors. I actually used Descent of the Dragons on my opponent's 2x Butcher of the Horde along with 4 of my weenies.
2-0 vs mono white devotion
1-2 vs Jeskai tokens. Close match. Need Arc Lightning in side.
2-1 vs RDW.
2-1 vs R/W tokens.
Made the cut at 4-1.
2-0 vs the same RDW deck from earlier.
2-1 vs another R/W token deck.
And finally 1-2 vs the first R/W token deck from the last round before the cut in a heartbreakingly close match.
Why do you have the fetch lands in there? They can only grab one color you actually have in your deck, so it seems to me it'd be easier, cheaper, and more life efficient to just have the basic lands instead. Or some other helpful land.

I can see it being helpful to dig for an island in a tight spot

They thin the deck, getting more lands oit of the deck, leaving a higher percentage of good draws behind.
Delve fuel for Dig Through Time.
Both fairly minor effects but noticeable.

I love to see other people playing Battlefield Thaumaturge! I used to play w/u heroic with thaumaturge and Launch the Fleet. Really fun card.

Also Taigam's Scheming is great to filter draws and feed Dig Through Time!

I actually took Taigam's Scheming out in favor of Anticipate. If I put it back in, I'd almost have to run Treasure Cruise and suddenly the deck would be all combo, no aggro. That thought does give me some ideas though . . .

Any budget land alternatives? I can't afford $96 landbase... :(

You should be able to do without the fetch lands fairly easily. Tou might replace 1x Anticipate for Taigam's Scheming to make up lost delve fuel for Dig Through Time but otherwise replacing them with basics is fine. And I've been actually running only 3x Shivan Reef because my lgs has been out. That should help the budget.

I know I still have work to do, but I'm excited to have my first #1 finish!
The sideboard, & sideboard tech are my biggest insecurities.
