Here is the list I played in the tourney sunday 11 april with some minimal
changes compared to the Breda tourney. I cut Ponder for the 3rd Mana Drain. Iona
was relegated to the sideboard. Because the non-proxy nature of the tournament I
changed Mox Pearl to a Lotus Petal. Seeing not a lot of dredge I changed 1 Crypt
to the Terastodon in the board. 29 players showed up so we are off for 5 rounds.

Game 2:  I spell pierce a first turn Null Rod and follow up with Tinkering out

Recall but I drew a Show and Tell last turn  and bring the Sphinx back to the
party.
Game3:  Jace finds me Tinker and a Key which spells victory.
M 2-0 G 4-2

Round 3 vs TrinketSalvagers
Game 1: I win the die roll, we shuffle up and then the judge swoops down on us
and runs off with our decks. After  a good few minutes he returns. Apparently my
opponent misregistered a fetchland.
Game  2 (Game 1 bis): I mulligan to 6 and keep a hand with a lot of land among
it Library. My opponent has a slow start and I assemble Key and draw into Tinker
, and double Oath. He wins a counterwar on the Tinker , has a final counterspell
for the first Oath but the second Oath takes it.
M 3-0 G 6-2

Round 4 vs IonaOath
ID
We play one for fun which I win due to Orchard advantage. We decide to scout for
the rest of the round.

Round 5 vs Noble Fish
ID
M 3-0-2 G 6-2

Quarterfinals vs CombOath
Game 1:  I can overwhelm him with LoA cardadvantage.
SB: -3 Oath -1 Island +2 Duress +1 Bribery +1 Terastodon
Game 2:  He gets a start with a lot of artifact accelerants and plays a Dark
Ritual which I Force. He has no follow up.  I can tutor up an Ancestral Recall
which finds me Yawgmoth's Will. During my Will turn I can assemble Vault/Key.
Turns out he plays Tyrant and Tendrils as wincondition.
M 4-0-2 G 8-2

Semifinals vs TrinketSalvagers
My 3rd round opponent gets a rematch.
Game 1: My opponent has a Time Vault and 2 Trinketmages. I can keep one off the
table but the other brings the Key to Victory.  Turn two Oath wasn't fast enough
SB: -1 Island , -1 Forest, -1 Krosan Reclamation, -1 Timetwister , -1 Spell
Pierce +2 Duress, +1 Iona, +2 Show and Tell
Game 2:  I get extracted and lose the elephant. He has a Seal of Cleansing for
my tinkered up Vault and a counter for my Yawgmoth's Will. Mystical Tutor finds
me an Ancestral and I reload on cards giving me Jace.  Jace brainstorms into 2
Oaths. The 2nd one sticks and I Oath up an Iona that gets bounced by a spellbomb
and the Sphinx goes farming. My only out is hardcasting Iona but I get extracted
for my last white source (Orchard). If my Lotus Petal had been a Mox Pearl I
could have used my key to get the 3 white. Sideboarding out Krosan Reclamation
and Timetwister turned out to be fatal.
M 4-1-2 G 8-4

I get a FBB Savannah for my efforts and turn it and 'some' euros into a Mox
Pearl at the on site dealer.

Props:  
The organization
My opponents, especially my quarterfinals opponent and his team who drove more
than 4 hours from Paris to compete.

Slops:
Nothing  :)
