Stephen, I think it's a shame you're on such a talented ballot. I would love to see you in the Invitational, but I can't in good conscience vote for you. I placed you 5th after Craig Jones, Sahnchez,...
A major point in favor of Gemstone Caverns is that it allows you to cast Mystical or Worldly Tutor on their turn and then win on your first turn if you have the other combo piece. You can even tutor...
My guess would be lack of prize support. Events were were generally well-run and pretty fun to attend, but I remember pulling in prizes like a tourney pack + draft set for 1st in a 40 +player event....
I'm actually curious about this as well...I moved back to the Twin Cities pretty recently, and I've been meaning to get back into the local tournament scene. I used to play at Dreamers, Monster Den...
The more I play this deck, the more convinced I am that it needs Disenchant maindeck in place of Phyrexian Furnaces. I keep losing to decks like Stax and Flame Vault because I can't possibly deal...
If he's willing to wait until turn 7-10 to go off, then maybe you should just dig/mull aggressively for Humility.
New question: What are people's current thoughts on running equipment? (i.e. Jitte or SoFI) Can equipment be fit into a version running Burning Wish? I want to add 3 Jittes to my version very badly...
What does a typical wishboard look like for this deck?
I've been looking into this deck with greater and greater interest since it put both its players into the T8 at SCG Richmond. It's looking like a great choice, since you've got a solid Goblins...
Your points about Hunted Horror answer why Veteran Explorer is a poor choice. Veteran Explorer looks good with a second turn Therapy, but the rest of the time it's just bad. Your opponent will...
Grah:
What do you run for draw/search? I ran 4 Whispers and still had major consistency issues. Should we go back to using Worldly Tutor or Living Wish?
I would love to see a list splashing blue. It seems like Brainstorm alone would be a huge boon for the deck. I've put The Game aside for the last couple months, since I've gotten crushed every time...
Has anyone tried out Rule of Law for the Solidarity matchup? I you resolve it, all you have to do is hold up counter mana for their bounce and you win - nothing they can do. I haven't been able to...
Does anyone have any thoughts on the ATS matchup? I've been playing this deck for a couple weeks due to its strong matchups with Landstill and Vial Goblins, but I've been having a hell of a time...
I know I suggested it to IBA while we were testing and he threatened to come to my house and fuck my dog or something. I'll let him explain why he thinks it's a bad choice. I don't remember his exact...
Quick question:
If you sac the Gamekeeper to flashback Therapy, your next creature should come into play before the Therapy resolves, right? Meaning that the other player can still respond by using...
In my experience, running Abolish in the main instead of Disenchant is the best way around Chalice (or just try to go into Turbo Angel mode). Abolish has also helped me out many times against...

Cut to Top 4 instead of Top 8 because it was poorly run:
1st: Pox
2nd: W/u/b Weenie w/ Aether Vial
3rd-4th: Rock (me)
You have to keep in mind that once they start going off successfully, the Solidarity player can do almost anything they want, all at instant speed. Gaea's Blessing is easy to play around since they...
Wouldn't Rule of Law be a much better choice than True Believer? As was stated, the Solidarity player can simply find bounce while going off. Rule of Law ensures that they have to find the bounce...
