Played this deck to a terrible 0-2 drop at SCG KC yesterday. Biggest problem? Never being able to find entomb in time. Ponder is infinitely better than careful study in this deck. When I ran careful study for about a week with 4 griselbrand's it wasn't even close to consistent in terms of binning griselbrand. Ponder see's 4 cards, study see's 2 and is card disadvantage on top of that if you don't find/have a griselbrand in hand.
Also, I feel the best answer for countertop is to run reverent silence and/or abrupt decay. Their deck is close to impossible to beat for us when they have gravehate, countertop, and countermagic to back it all up.
Probe was pretty decent, but at the same time cutting it makes room for lim-dul's vault, a card that this deck sorely needs in my eyes in order to find the right combo pieces/entomb almost always. Card is also a champ when imprinted on a mox.
As for my decklist, it's Koby's list -1 chrome mox +1 tundra. Sideboard was almost identical to his as well. I put in the tundra over mox because drawing mox in the opener is generally terrible. Wanted two white sources for children and more silences in the board because against the decks you want silence against they generally have wasteland or you want to be able to silence two times in one turn. Like RUG delver, as silence is godly against them or esper stoneblade. I might run this deck once more with something like -2 Probe -1 Ponder +3 LDV, but this requires testing. At the moment I'm going back to ANT, as ANT has no consistency issues when you run 16 cantrips to assemble your combo.
