Good find. I totally forgot about Gatecrash.
Also, I'm noticing a lack of little Liliana. Isn't she better for the curve and and solve the hexproof problem a bit?
I just accept that this deck just loses to Boggle.dec and Geist. I'm not sure if that specific Liliana would be that good for the curve, either. I think Cruel Edict works better with your Inkmoths...
Skittles is too much of a mana investment, especially when you look at the low land count. This coming down a potential turn earlier must be a bit more relevant. Plus, I think the evasion becomes...
I'd hate to double-post, but the same player did decently on a daily with a similar list:
20 Mountain
1 Teetering Peaks
3 Ash Zealot
4 Goblin Bushwhacker
4 Goblin Chieftain
4 Goblin Cohort...
Yeah. Ill probably go to 18 by getting rid of 2 Maniacs. Not interested in fetched since Deathrite Shaman is a thing.
Here's a list I'm going to be experimenting with:
4 Goblin Guide
4 Goblin Bushwhacker
4 Army Loyalist
4 Goblin Cohort
4 Tattermunge Maniac
4 Goblin Arsonist
4 Goblin Wardriver
4 Mogg War...
This is insane, but I have to ask this:
With how insanely popular Jund is, how much sense does 4 Sea's Claim and 4 Spreading Seas with a full set of each Islandwalking lord make? Is there too much...
What did you guys think about Mana Bloom? Too costly?
On a side note, has anybody tried Gadock Teeg?
I'm totally building this deck. Is it too early to talk about Dryad Militant? It could lower the curve even more and push Grunts to the sideboard, but not sure. Just a thought.
Hence why I want to go manaless. No point in running DR and other sorceries when I can't use them. Basically, we max out creatures that can come into play.
Yup. This is going to be a beating. I'm thinking of changing to a Manaless build and relying less on playing spells.
Lol. Can he elaborate? Has his list changed since then?
Verhey talked about the deck on dailymtg.com:

I liked one of the comments: "My goldfish game, the final turn, took 30 min."...
Kind of surprised nobody made a thread after Garett Young almost top 8 GP Columbus with it. You can read about it here and check out the match here.
His list is not online, but here's one I like...
I've got to admit that Master of the Pearl Trident has intrigued me for Modern. Granted, it doesn't fix any of it's problems. Nor do I think Merfolk will be well-positioned. However, I'm positive...
I think he's awesome for Vial builds. It's a decent replacement for SFM or other two-drops you don't like.
I have to agree with luckme10. Vial Affinity is the only deck that can fully utilize all of it's potential. Besides SFM, two-drops have felt underwhelming to me in that deck, and I don't even like...
It's hard to be convinced by Gristlebrand. Is anyone taking him seriously?
Does anyone think this could work in modern? I'm tempted to port it over and start a thread.
For the record, I'm putting together the Enchantress list soon. I'll let you know how it plays.
I'm really interested in how the deck evolves. I believe there are more than enough pieces to answer specific metagames. I plan on putting this together soon.
The more I listened to this podcast, the more I'm thinking Brainstorm is not the problem, but a number of other factors that lead to Brainstorm being so dominant. Unfortunately, banning it won't...
Really digging this list....
