This is a very small store. We had 7 players only, so the organizer put himself in the players list (so we could have 8 players), conceded on the first round and dropped out.
3 rounds.
1) I was the lucky guy and was matched with the organizer. No play.
2-0
1-0
2) I got an aura hexproof match.
G1
He was a very skilled player and kept a 7-cards hand with 1 land for more than 4 turns.
I kept a hand without a single piece of the combo, put plenty of cantrips.
Eventualy he killed me with a Slippery Bogle equipped with plenty of things. I event had a Phyrexian Unlife in play - that was not enough to stop him.
I decided to mulligan to 6 since I had a 7-cards hand with no lands.
I kept a 6-cardshand and stayed with 1 land for more than 4 turns as well (karma is a *****).
That was the most excenting game of the day. Eventually he was hitting me with a hexproof dude equipped with plenty of things.
Grace'd plus Scorn'ed to keep alive.
Later I combo'ed with 6 poison counters already, and killed him.
3) Since me and the guy were both at 2-0, we decided to ID and split the prizes (3 boosters each).
But we decided to play 4fun anyway.
He was playing an esper deck based on tokens and Polymorph into Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.
G1
I kept a hand with Phyrexian Unlife and some cantrips.
He was hitting me in a turn basis with something like 3-5-8 spirit flying tokens.
Eventually I combo'ed and killed him turn 5 or 6.
G2 I sided +1 Echoing Truth
Kept a hand and killed something like 5 tokens at once with Echo.
At a given point, he Duress me. I had enough mana to respond with Peer Through Depths and Ad Nauseam.
Peer didn't hit a thing and I died.
Folks, I was not in the playground when Survival was rulling out.
This stated, I dont know any deck that devastated the format when it was valid. Could anyone provide me a good list where its shown how broken this card was?
As much of a great creature Goblin Guide is in decks such as burn, I don't think he's worth it in Goblin decks for a few reasons...
1) Haste is nearly irrelevant as Warchief/Chieftain gives you haste..
2) The drawback is devastating for goblins... Most (if not all) goblin decks run Rishadan Ports and Wastelands... Using the lands and goblin guide is kind of counterproductive.
3) There are better goblins you can play... Yes it's a good 1 drop but Aether Vial and Lackey are MUCH better and that's what we want playing goblins
I wouldn't explain better why I don't think Guide is OK for Legacy.
Perfect post. I agree with every comma on it.

G2 I sided-in
+1 Patrician's Scorn
+1 Drown in Sorrow
+1 Echoing Truth (what a wonderful card...)
-1 Slaughter Pact
-1 Mystical Teachings
-1 Conjurer's Bauble

I kept a 6-cardshand and stayed with 1 land for more than 4 turns as well (karma is a *****).

Later I combo'ed with 6 poison counters already, and killed him.
G3 I sided a Gigadrowse out of a Pact of Negation (don't remember if that was the card actually...)
I had a 7-cards hand already combo'ed with 2 Lotus Bloom, Phyrexian Unlife and Ad Nauseam and eventually killed him in turn 4.
He was pissed with himself he should had mulliganed until hit a Leyline of Sanctity.
That would not be enough since I had enough mana to Echoing Truth.
2-1
2-0

G3 He Polymorph into a Emrakul, the Aeons Torn hasted by Lightning Greaves and killed me a turn before I kill him.
1-2
2-1-0
3 boosters 1st and 2nd, 1 booster 3rd.
------------
Wraping all together:
I don't believe Mystical Teachings should be on the list.
Besides that, Conjurer's Bauble is a very conditional card to have MD.
That Vendetta was on the SB because I don't have Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, before any one asks.
Please let me know your thoughts on it.
THANKS

Too circumstantial.
This makes me sad, but it's true.
Affinity is no longer a top deck in Legacy.
Is it better or at least Tier 1 in Modern?
I wouldn't explain better why I don't think Guide is OK for Legacy.

Do you guys think there is room for 1 Batterskull?
What would be the in and out for this?
Great work.
Your opponent cast a Oblivion Ring and resolves it.
Oblivion ring enters the battlefield and triggers. In response, you cast Vapor Snag on the fish.
Talrand, Sky Summoner triggers and give you a token before Vapor Snag.
Vapor Snag resolves and gets Talrand, Sky Summoner to your hand.
Oblivion Ring's ability is countered for illegal target.
