Didn't see good spots for cling but I still think it deserves a spot. The card selection on trainer is very strong, especially if you need to play fair magic postboard.

Looking at later screenshots from greg and seeing the jewel was taken, if the rightmost drafter gets the kitten, they are probably set up as a new favorite having a very high ceiling and being able to contest cards like cryptic, force, nexus, negation, from UG person.
From the first screenshot, probably the uro or phlage drafter. The counterspells and removal outdo most of the threats in the cube on rate so if you get some or all of both the titans and the interaction you are a huge favorite. The UG deck has a stronger undrafted pool too.

Modern RCQ, UBr murktide. I think flame is worth it for help in cutter and energy matchup having actual grind potential. This config has actual chances to beat the 1-2 drops out of energy as long as you exile phlage.

I think tamiyo is underplayed in vintage despite being awkwardly mana intensive to draw cards off, she just does a lot of stuff for a single mana which leaves you with more flexibility keeping one landers and holding open mana on later turns for fluster/pyro.
4-0 into 4-3 at the legacy cup in Vegas. Horseshoes and hand grenades.
Beat Cub Nadu, SnT, maverick, SnT again, lost to oops, forge, and MUD. I think comboing out is important enough that the journey is a good main deck include, and 3x plow is super fine. Considering the third daze.
Oh! The lifelink. I understand it now! Yippee

Only thing I would do differently is replace the torpor orbs, you can probably go up some combo of stock ups bounce spells and scoldings.
Stock up in SB is still good against BW but insulates against control. snapback helps with zoo which is having a bit of a renaissance, flood maw with needle/pride

This was an audible from titan so didn't have the notice to find snapbacks and suchlike. With the pairings I had I like this. Probably 0-1 stock up is correct.

Split 🏆 with Nadu bobingus
Single game loss to Naya initiative because I forgot CoCA had trample. Rumble is a big get for this deck. Same 75 from NathanOfTheGiltLeaf.
Boseiju definitely worth the squeeze, less sure about karakas. Cavern or another fetch are worth consideration.
I had many matchups today where the 1 power was so concerning on bowmasters that I almost cut them. They priced me into scolding a hydroelectric specimen, for example, out of Belcher, which allowed them to spell snare through a tameshi. This list lacks the inevitability to cut threats mostly.
Emp provides even more clock than dauthi, while meaningfully targeting cards like phlage, emrakul types, or big creatures to reanimate, without pricing you into slamming it on curve since it can mop something up later.
It has fringe benefits of swinging with a rumbled emrakul, or a discarded murk
Emperor of bones deserves it's own post since this is the only substantive deviation from what Venom1 is farming the challenges with. The reason to even consider the card is that OBM just doesn't do enough damage. UB is the beat down in many games and matchups and raise the alarm is not enough.

Uw Belcher trophy.

Idr my matchups. Deck felt pretty excellent. Had some spots where pacts would have been excellent but I'm not sure over what. Being able to proactively shoal and flare things like thoughtseize or phelia played a big role.

Wish I had played meathook, bombardment was tough game 2 and meathook solves that better. Energy matchup still really tough. Stock up was mostly better than ransom.

DRS Lurrus 4-4. Hoped for good raker and breach matchup. Breach matchup OK, raker matchup not good since you don't have a way to proactively kill them and if they resolve a single Chungus you are cooked. Almost full copy paste from etoustar.
