Hello, I am looking to buy the following:
3 {Thirst for Knowledge} (Mirrodin)

Only looking for NM condition, let me know if you have any!

It is pronounced "nick"-fit

Whether you have forces or not, don't play {Daze}, it doesn't work in this deck. If you want to have some level of early protection, play more {Spell Pierce}/{Spell Snare}/{Flusterstorm}.

I'd add a {Sword of Fire and Ice}, possibly another {Vendilion Clique}.

{Back to Basics} would also be a nice addition to the sideboard, as well as {Ethersworn Canonist}.

What's the reasoning for Preordain spiking above Ponder? Ponder is usually played in multicolor Legacy decks before Preordain, no?

Only reason I can think of is a spike in Vintage interest. You need four Preordains in Vintage because Brainstorm and Ponder are restricted.

It's more that {Preordain} was only printed in foil once, while {Ponder} was foiled in 3 sets. The only deck that plays 4 of it in Legacy is Omnitell, but I'd guess this is more of a correction (should got back down a little once things calm down).

Vintage demand doesn't fuel foils that much, see {Mental Misstep}.

Foil {Preordain} went a little crazy.

{Ponder} Foil lowyrn version.

It's been 40-50 for a while, {Preordain} was 15 when I had last looked...

Foil {Preordain} went a little crazy.

Hey, looking to trade for:
4 {Thoughtseize} (Lorwyn or Theros)

I have the following:
2 {Cryptic Command} (MMA2015)
1 {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} (MMA2015)
1 {Nourishing Shoal} (Foil)
1 {Threads of Disloyalty}
1 {Life from the Loam} (MMA)
1 {Mindbreak Trap}
5 {Remand} (MMA2015)
5 {Spell Pierce}
4 {Swords to Plowshares} (Duel Deck)

Plus it's good vs Hangarback Walker lol did you expect HW to see play in that tournament?

Yes, but partly because people were playing it at the trial on Saturday.

{Sulfur Elemental} only hates on Mentor, and I wanted more versatility in my SB.

{Æther Flash} can come in against Pyromancer, Dredge, etc. in addition to the mentor decks.

See you can tell I'm not anywhere close to a serious vintage player because I didn't even think about dredge

That's not the primary reason it's in the list (4 mana is a lot since you want it in play fast), but you want to have as many flexible cards as possible, since your sideboard is so strained by Shops and Dredge.

This is the list that I played at Vintage champs. I started off 4-0 but fell apart after that.
The list felt good, I think I let the deck down, not the other way around.
