Unfortunately, the short answer is "it depends", both on your build, the matchup, and the texture of the game so far. However, some general ideas (hopefully some are helpful to you):

Re: looping Hogaaks - you can, but it doesn't do damage because Hogaak enters off the stack when cast, not the graveyard.
Just to ensure I'm not missing something, how does Of One Mind get enabled with just a Noble? The cost reduction requirement requires both a Human creature (which Noble is) and a non-Human creature...
I also do :)
Agreed that a big win of companions for us is the secret mode of never planning on casting it - it might make hand disruption better g1 as their kept hands may be clunkier than...
Ooh, something that _is_ for us: https://i.redd.it/zq1docm2ld941.png
TL;DR:
Thassa's Oracle
Creature - Merfolk Wizard, UU
When ~ ETB, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is your...
My gut feeling is that Breach isn't for us; we only have significant gy fuel _after_ we've comboed, so if we're playing it as post-combo protection, it adds 2 (and a color!) to our combo turn, which...
Just a quick thing - I agree with you that discard's likely better against most decks g1 over Chain, but Chain can allow for some trickier plays with Talisman by bouncing it after wishing, making it...
Also, remember that Hogaak is still castable through Priest, so it's not nearly the concern it used to be :)
If this is for saying "I have none of my 8 win conditions in hand and am casting a Once Upon a Time, what's the probability I hit at least one win-con", that's not quite right; you can sanity-check...
For the second question, unfortunately the answer is no - Lotleth Giant's trigger is an etb trigger, which means it only goes on the stack once it's fully left the graveyard and entered the...
Mm, I hadn't thought about Leyline, although we still lose to Stifle because they can just stifle the Spy trigger, right? (Of course, we have a chance to rebuild in that case - I don't play the deck...
Definitely feels like it, yeah - this allows us to cut down to just one card for the combo package, right? Is there any reason to run Garna/angel/etc over this?
Welp, DRS and Probe out: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/july-2-2018-banned-and-restricted-update-2018-07-02
What are our moves going forward? It's good that we don't have to...
I think it's definitely reasonable to have DR on the play and Gravestone on the draw in some matchups :) I'd just think about it more generally as "what will be my gameplan in this game?" For quite...
Ooh, that's an interesting take on things :) I think my biggest worry would be frequency of casting "important" spells - only 4 sources to cast Faithless/Firestorm seems low. Maybe consider Hapless...
At a guess, I'd say Therapies? I don't see a similar replacement, like other lists that eschew the card (although the only recent case I can remember for that was when the pilot admitted it was an...
Thanks for the insight, and answering the real question hidden in my poorly-phrased one :) Trying to get some last-minute prep for the GP (I'll probably shift even closer to your list - probably...
Exact same thoughts for me, as well :) 1 DR main with no targets, 1 more DR + Iona and Rider in the sideboard for other decks, and only siding in LP for racing and very heavy resource denial, but...
Welcome to the club :) Hope you have a blast dredging them out! I'll try to answer your questions from my pov; hopefully others can offer their perspectives as well :)
The biggest thing about...
Not Orim (please correct me if I'm wrong), but the big reason is that a lot of these grindy decks play things like Spell Pierce and Flusterstorm; creature enablers dodge these very easily :)
...
1. I've also been pretty unimpressed with PA, having run them a couple times; it helps against Surgical on Ichorid, but otherwise I think I'd almost always want Ichorid instead (tbf, I don't play...
Played in a 54-man staples tournament on Sunday with Que, managed to get 10th as the highest 4-2. Played against the following:
2-1 ANT
1-0 Food Chain due to deck check (played out 3 games later...
