"Beautiful Counter Burn" a deck and short tourney report(51 players)

[GGoober]

This one doesn't win with Show and Tell or with Mishra's Factory. This is probably the best list IMO aka straightfoward list does better than cute lists although I can see it having a little problem with UGw or GWb decks packing Goyfs and Knights.

I guess I don't really understand why it's called counter-burn, it's every staple of every color it runs plus 1 burn. . . ? You can pay 3 mana to deal 1 damage to the opponent, somehow I get the feeling you win more often with Jace and Tarmogoyf. Like, what makes this different from CounterTop thopter, or countertop super friends, or countertop anything?

I get that multiple threads kind of show options, but they're all countertop decks with different win conditions, that doesn't make them completely different decks. I also don't see how running 1 burn in a counter-top deck makes it Counter-Burn (which presumably would run you know, a lot of burn and counters?).
