There isn't anything that can mimick Top's effect, Scroll Rack ain't even close in usefulness for reasons stated. Our options is to either run other cards that reduce varience (Tutor, Chandra,...

Downwards. That's where we're going. Man, they could've banned Counterbalance instead, but no let's chop the consistency of Tier 2 decks as well!
Anyhow I don't think Painter is completely dead,...
I've never went below 7, then again Miracles is quite present in my meta. Doubt I'd be willing to cut blasts willingly either way as I like having that consistent protection and control with Painter....
I usually leave a couple in, or 1/1 split of Moon/Magus if I run them. They shouldn't dare to keep a non-white land hand after game 1, but we should have the possibility to punish them if they do.
Aye T2+ only, can't count properly!
Sadly you'll have to sacrifice it during your own turn, so it's not really a lock against storm without a Welder and constant supply of artifacts. I'm still not sure wheter it's worth siding it...
The idea is that if he connects, which is quite possible because it flies, it gives us free pass to just resolve our combo undisrupted. We're capable of doing early combo with aggressive use of...

Worth a shot in sideboard? Not that we really need a Xantid Swarm, but it demands answer. Cheap way of getting rid of removal and countermagic...
Spellskite is a bit deceptive in this deck, it seems fine as a tutor-target but almost always it's just better to fetch another Painter and churn through their removal.
For mainboard I'd advocate...
@drude1
Since you got 3 Tutors main, I think it's fine to cut down to 2 Bridges for the 7th blast main. It won't do much against DnT and lands, but having Painter+Blast can snag some games from...
I'd cut Spellskite for 4th Grindstone, but otherwise the mainboard seems pretty sweet. Can't imagine any fair deck got chance against Bridge + Chandra.
The sideboard is weird tho. Without Tutors...
We're able to splash a 3rd color if the meta really calls for it, like when some of us had Slaughter Games in the sb against Omnitell before Dig ban. Up a petal and add a Badlands and you're pretty...
The enchantment-part of Hedge-Mage is pretty much only relevant against miracles, and they'll leave your plateaus alone.
For instant-speed wipe, I'd recommend Pyrokinesis, that one will always...
That's quite the sideboard!
Most of it are valid options, except for wear/tear which isn't too useful in our list as it can't be fetched in any way. A Hedge-Mage is usually enough, eventually paired...
If it did much better than other decks everyone would play it. Althought it's probably Imperial Recruiter which is the main reason for why more people don't play this, since he's so expensive and...
I've done quite well locally, but alas I live in a relatively small country. There's usually about 13 or 45 people on the tourneys here depending on event size, so results aren't flashy.
Been...
White splash is by far the most consistent as you can find your combo pieces with Enlightened Tutor, and it's the version that most run atm. The list you posted is pretty close to the "stock list",...
Both routes got their ups and downs, and in the end I suppose it's meta dependant. Confluence can bring big blowouts to the table, but at the cost of less consistency compared to cheaper versions.
...
Also understandable, wasn't cool cutting her but felt necessary :)
Just want to point this out, since the rule was changed as of "Shadows over Innistrad". This means EE can't kill Delver...
Not too long ago I'd agree, I disliked the card. It is indeed card disadvantage, but in the core we're a combo deck, needing quality over quantity. Or in this case combo pieces.
I often side out...
I'd let go of Jaya.
She's really good for getting out of freaky moments and curbstomping barreled opponents or merfolk, but all in all those are fringe moments or win-more. She's often a dead draw...
Grindstone might still show up as mastercraft promo in the next set, there'll be 20 there too.
However I doubt Ensnaring Bridge and Top will their place amongst them due to flavour-fail (japanese...

Now that's more interesting. Not sure if it's worth replacing Nahiri for her as I like the CB exile, but could be in Ajani's slot(s)....
Althought the ultimate is game-winning (as for most planeswalkers), it's slow af and she got no protection. The +1 is lame too. Unless you got a Recruiter out to value that -2, I don't see any use...
I'm no fan of it main. It's the tits against half the meta, and worthless against the other. I mean, if they're low on weak creatures and with no relevant artifacts, 6 burn doesn't do anything either...
