I don’t play Vintage and mostly I only watch Luis Scott-Vargas playing it, but i think you seemed a bit reactive most of the time, whereas this format seems to be best taken advantage of by being proactive. For instance, firing Ancestrall at the first opportunity (moreso with a combo deck) or playing a Jace 1st turn when possible.
Anyway, not that I am an expert or anything Thanks for the videos!

M1G3: When you’re tutoring the first time, doesn’t grabbing Top guarantee that you never run into the problem of stalling out because of lands on top?

I can’t think of any reason in m1g1 why you waited to use library on your opponents turn.
You had two moxen to play to get back down to 7 cards.
And you had a mental misstep for thoughtseize in hand at the ready.

Also, m1g2, you should have said why you didn’t counter jace. You said later that you don’t care about anything unless it’s an oath.
But at the time of jace being cast you could have activated top to see if the third card was blue and spun it to possibly counter the jace.

Overall your timing seemed very off. I’m no expert but you weren’t “Picking the best line” because you weren’t maximizing your resources. You kind of just stumbled upon the cards you needed at a convenient time.

M1G2, you could’ve kept up the loop in order to have mana to hardcast FoW.
