what exactly do you board against Ichorid? Only the singleton Firespout?

I board in the Spell Pierces, Red Blasts, Firespout. Matchup really isn't that bad anyways, so I don't dedicate any SB slots to it.

I just tested the list a few games and I must say, this list is a complete powerhouse

I agree. A lot of the players that liked this list tried out cutting the Vendilion Cliques, a Jace and Repeal for a Trinket Mage package. Ben Weinberg played a Trinket Mage package AND Grim Lavamancer in his winning 4c CounterTop list from the SCG event this weekend. I like the idea of a miser's Lavamancer.

Turns out Weinberg's list ran two. But even so, one-ofs in a deck like this are really fine. Between all the Top, Brainstorm and Jace all comboing with fetches, you generally see your entire deck every game anyways.

I can't find the decklist. Would you mind PMing me a link or sth?

I might try out the Trinket Mage package this weekend at the Jupiter Event. Seemed to work for him, so I figure it's worth trying out. Although, this list worked awfully well :-).

I'd be interested in knowing how many times he used Grim Lavamancer as an insurance policy to protect an attacking or blockingTarmogoyf into an opposing 'Goyf. Lavamancer also acts as a distraction in the early game posing as a dummy against opponents putting you on some sort of Fish or U/r/g Aggro Control deck, which clearly generates mixed signals to an opponent.
When I was watching the live coverage of the Top 8 of that event, I saw him use it to deal the final 6 points after the board stalemated. It was so nasty.

I tried the Trinket mage / lavamancer list today at a small local tournament.
4 Rounds
1st Round against Elves Combo was really fast.
G1 Turn1 top, Turn2 Balance, game
G2 Turn 1 Lavamancer, Turn 2 balance T3 Top + Lavamancer, game.
2nd and 3rd Round against the Mirror. Lost 0-1 both times, by either sheer luck of opponent or by me getting flooded like hell.
4th Round against Zoo was , well, easy going.
Fazit: I really like the Lavamancer and the Trinket Mage package, the list works incredebly well but I have mana issues. I tend to get flooded really really hard( best example: EOT Top(3 lands) fetch, Top( 3 lands), draw fetch, fetch, brainstorm (3 lands) NICE)
