There is a large tournament next week using vintage ban and restricted list at my lgs. Decks can not cost more than $25 tcg mid (basic lands are free)
In a wide open meta this is what I thought would be the safest thing
I'm somewhat expecting elves, affinity and some crazy combo to be there. (sideboard built accordingly}. Is there something I'm missing or something I can use a cheaper version of? What decks can you come up with if you were playing?
Not sure, but I feel like your list seems strictly worse than a Psychatog list built around Fact or Fiction and Gush. You don't want cantrips insofar as you're not putting together a combination of cards and just want raw card advantage. You want to run out of fuel, not put together a combo. Brainstorm and Ponder just aren't worth it, but if you insist on Brainstorm, Terramorphic Expanse seems better than Dismal Backwater.
