I tried making an Eternal Weekend recap video but I'm too tired and keep stumbling over my words, so instead I'm just going to give you my sideboard guides for Vintage BUG Lurrus and Legacy UB Reanimator.
Thank you to everyone for an amazing and unforgettable weekend ❤️

These are the decks I used to Top 4 Vintage Champs and Top 32 Legacy Champs at Eternal Weekend NA
Vintage: BUG Lurrus
Legacy: UB Reanimator
Keep your eyes peeled for a video where I dive deep on these decks, how to approach expected matchups, and provide free sideboard guides

It felt wrong to have won and top 4’d consecutive Vintage Champs events without owning one of these, so I decided to rectify that issue 🪷

Atraxa and Archon had both been exiled, so I decided to copy my opponent's win condition instead

🥈 Got 2nd place in the Friday Vintage Challenge with slightly teched Esper Lurrus
Stony Silence over Null Rod because of Flame of Anor. Ironically lost the finals to a Flame of Anor deck while holding Stony Silence and missing white mana. So it goes 😬

Purchased a playset of the new Tezzeret so I could try @dethfrmabove.bsky.social 's Tezz PO list, and it did not disappoint!
Stock Up and Tezz give this deck a serious density of bangers 🔨

Despite accidentally playing 2 Islands instead of Island Swamp, I managed to Top 8'd the Vintage Challenge, and then scooped the QF to go to July 4th stuff with the kiddos.
Unsure if the pair of Tamiyo is better or worse than the pair of Bowmasters I cut to make room. They performed well enough 🤷♂️

Now, playing Blood Moon with an Urza’s Saga on 2 freezes the progression of the saga, meaning it can just become a construct making machine indefinitely.
Also worth noting that Urza’s Saga can still tap for C under a moon, meaning Eldrazi should definitely start running it to reduce Moon exposure.

Trying to figure out what's good in Legacy, and scored an easy trophy with L4rss0n's Cephalid Breakfast list.
I see why he keeps winning with it!
