I played a bit on Magic League with the list and I managed to finish 2nd in a Trial. In the last trial someone copied my list and won the Trial, so in the last 2 Trials it was one win and one 2nd place finish. Comment section on ML is a mess because people there neither know the deck nor the format so my lonely Bird and the trio of Survivals get their usual flaming but I am confident that these are the right numbers.
@Tao : Congrats!!! It's sometimes very interesting how some of these experts on ML talk about decks and other things...

I saw some BGw Survival builds which Natural Order - have you ever consider NO in your builds?
Hi, I played a bit with NO in survival shell, it has some good synergy, but it tooks to much room and survival can't afford that. The non-creature spell slots are so tight...
Yesterday I played a RecRockSur at a 75 ppl tournament in France. Finished 14th with 4 - 2 - 1. Lost only one game against a NObant and i did my biggest mistake because of fatigue. Survival need so much brain, i didn't get enough yesterday. Here the small report:
1st round: Damien with BGW Junk:
-I mull to 6, 1 savannah and 1 scrubland, 2nd turn wasteland never draw another land while he killed me with Rancored qasali.
-I StP his confidant then he drew only lands while i have 2 tarmo
-1st turn bird, 2nd turn survival, he tried jotun grunt->shriekmaw, jitte->qasali GG
2-1/1-0-0
2nd round: Maxime with a WW:
-I mull to 6, 1st turn Mother of runes (arg no StP), 2nd turn silver knight (lol) then a seraa avenger, he manage to down me to 9 then i Deed and cabal therapy his hand while i kept a Tarmo and a survival in hand ->GG
-3rd turn Deed full tapped he droped a needle on deed. Then i played survival but he downed me to 5 until my CA won me the Round.
2-0/2-0-0
3rd round: Julien with BGw Eva Green:
-I mull to 6 (i never drew a good hand in the first game the whole tourney), He never manage to beat me with creature, while i fetch only basics, I won with survival on. Tarmo+Genesis > Vindicate.
-I mull to 6 again, he started agro and disturbtion. I can't recover.
-Mull to 6 with only 13min to win... I put him down to 13 before my last combat phase, i missed 4 dmg (not sure) but I didn't played Anger and i missed it...
1-1/2-1-0
4th round: Alex with Progenitus Bant (top8):
-As usual mull to 6, and didn't found a way to manage a rhox war monk 2x exalted. I discarded 2 NO before he reaches 4 mana.
-Keep a solid hand with Gaddock Teeg, some discard. Gaddock teeg blocked him 3 turns, just the time i needed to drop a Survival and make enough CA.
-Not a lot of time left, I open a hand without land...mull to 6 with 2 StP a Therapy and some lands. I tutor only non-basics, drew a duress to discard a Daze and saw 2 FoW, therapy for them. I make the biggest mistake next turn, i played a "topdecked" Magus of The moon while i have just one forest and no plains with a StP left. Then i drew a survival... without creature in hand. I was so tired at this point that i lost the game in 2 minutes. :(
1-2/2-1-1
5th round: Arnaud with Merfolk:
-He droped me to 7 then i stabilized and he never found a solution, even with 2 landstill.
-I mull to 5 :( and he killed me 4th turn. I tried to block with squee but he played a Mind Harness... LOL
-I stabilized with 2 deeds and a SdT he droped me to 8HP but i would have won it with more time.
1-1/2-2-1 No way for top8 :(
6th round: Rémi with WW Haterator
-GL for him, he was 30sec late... Judge was really in a bad mood or so...
-He drope SdT with a plain..., I Thoughtseize to see: Pithing Needle, Aven Mindcensor, Samurai of the Pale Curtain and an ancient tomb... Beurk... took the needle 'cause i have a survival. He played a lot of little threat and another Needle on survival. But i manage everything (the rock shell is strong enough). Spore Frog, Loxodon Hierarch, Shriekmaw ->GG
2-0/3-2-1
7th and last round: Guillaume, my bro, we meet each other at every tournament, that's a rule. He played Eva Green BG and we know each other's deck by heart.
-We quickly entered in topdeck mode, i drew survival with squee in hand, next...
-I mull to 6 :), again we quickly went to topdeck mode, i drew better cards. GG
2-0/4-2-1
Finished 14th, not so bad, if i didn't played my Magus of the Moon (that was a last sec. choice) i would have a chance of top8, with 3 merfolk, 1 DS, 1 Landstill, 1 Progenitus Bant, 1 Zoo and 1 Dreadstill.
Decklist was close to the common RecSur list.

GG Mickael! but he lost in 16th to ANT, worst MU i saw in the top16, unlucky.
I think I'm missing some obvious synergy with the Sadistic Hypnotist. It's probably nice with all the stuff you'd want to sacrifice, but wouldn't something cheaper (and that you can use in your opponent's turn) be worth considering? That, or make more use of Hypnotist with some tokens?

sadistic hypno give so much synergy!!! with Pdeed its a wincon almost! you can sac rector to fetch deed and empty opp hand and board!
Well... if you fetch Saproling burst... :D
