Hey Lyle,
Why do you bring in Ensnaring Bridge against D&T? I've seen a lot of people doing this in the reports, but never understood. D&T has a lot of 1 power creatures, plus with Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Ethersworn Canonist, Rishadan Port, and Sanctum Prelate I feel you can get stuck with cards in hand and difficulties getting them out (and difficulty getting out the bridge as well). They can also swing pump with Umezawa's Jitte to get under the bridge. They can also bounce bridge with Flickerwisp to swing for a turn, plus with Recruiter of the Guard, they can tutor for Flickerwisp (this is why I also don't feel safe when Sulfuric Vortex is out since they can bounce and gain life).
