LOL, power goes out just as I am about to get Hydra Hoof ...
Hum tempting !! I should play this on saturday at my local store ahah
Same list as previous page?
No. I cut all the lands except 4 Cradle's (Arbor I guess). Added Krosan Wayfarer to make Cradle 2-4 not a brick while going off. Ditched Tinder Wall also, I never wanted a +1 red. So just Wild Cantor, Vine Dryad, Krosan Wayfarer, Hydraball, Dryad Arbor and Hoof as one off's. Even Arbor was underwhelming, might be better off as a Tropical to fuel Beck.
Edit: Obviously ditched Land Grant with no Trop.
I've been jamming this version of the deck as my intro into legacy. At one LGS we're allowed proxies, so I've included the list I play there since it's mostly just direct upgrades from the modern cards I'm currently running.
1 Flooded Strand
1 Windswept Heath
4 Misty Rainforest
3 Tropical Island
2 Beck // Call
3 Force of Will
2 Grapeshot
2 Pact of Negation
4 Glimpse of Nature
4 Artificer's Assistant
3 Noxious Revival
4 Retract
4 Lotus Petal
4 Mox Opal
4 Phyrexian Walker
4 Memnite
4 Shield Sphere
4 Ornithopter
2 Chain of Vapor
1 Hurkyl's Recall
SB 2 Tormod's Crypt
SB 2 Flusterstorm
SB 3 Veil of Summer
SB 1 Gut Shot
SB 2 Hurkyl's Recall
SB 2 Naturalize
SB 1 Island
SB 1 Forest
SB 1 Noxious Revival
I've mostly been having problems with cards like Chalice of the Void, Wasteland, and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Has anyone come up with some good ways to combat these cards?

Round 1: Naya Cheerios 2-0
This player was just getting back into magic, so proxy night was a great call for him. His deck choice however not so much. He went for a Naya Cheerios list with 2 grapeshot \ 1 Bushwhacker as wincons and no backup Glimpse of Nature. He was however running some spicy Silence, which was really good against me. Since he proxied it up the day of, he hadn't gotten any goldfish games in and wasn't very good at piloting the deck. Both of his losses were because he didn't silence me on my combo turn. We played a bunch after since we still had 40ish min on the clock, and I walked him through lines and new cards he could add. Good player, if a bit rusty, but his brew was about 2 months behind mine.
Round 2: Maverick 2-1
Game 1 I comboed off turn 1 on the play and he died with no cards in play. I figured he was going to bring in storm hate, so I boarded in Cranial Plating as an alternative win con. Game 2 I jumped the gun and comboed on turn 2 only to fizzle with 3 creatures on board. I never found a second glimpse of nature and died to beats. Game 3 I got to keep my first 7 and used Personal Tutor to get a Glimpse and he died with 5 permanents in play. These games felt like I was playing more against myself than against an opponent. The only card in his deck that I cared about was Thalia, so as long as he didn't have one I could go off.
Round 3: Red Prison 2-1
I won the die roll and proceeded to not let him draw game 1. Game 2 however he landed a chalice of the void on 0 and went aggro to beat me down before I could find an answer. Game 3 was a lot closer where I had to use a Hurkyls Recall to bounce his chalice of the void and then noxious revival Hurkyls to go off. I got super lucky going off and was able to grapeshot for 28 for the win.
Overall Score: 3-0
Changes I made since last tournament:
-2 Beck +2 Personal Tutor
-1 Fetch +1 Tropical Island
I was unimpressed with Personal Tutor. It never felt particularly bad to draw, but I never drew it and was happy it wasn't a Beck, especially because Grapeshot, Tutor, and Glimpse are it's only targets. I think the answer here is to keep Beck on the basis of diversity. Since Beck has such a high CMC, it can combo through Chalice of the Void and also allows us to play through a Surgical Extraction. I was a fan of the 4th Tropical Island, and am sad that I now need 4 instead of 3. Breeding Pool will do for now though.
Post event changes:
-1 SB Artificer's Assistant +1 SB Chain of Vapor
-1 Tree of Tales +1 Seat of the Synod
Force of vigor is probably what you want.
The Parfait Meta-Game
Another answer to Chalice @ 0 or Counterbalance is Multani's Presence. It's a Glimpse alternative where you don't need to resolve the cards to keep drawing, but it works better in the Kobolds build than the 4 Mox Opal build that relies on bouncing Opals for mana generation.
