Deck looks great, I like the maindeck Groundseal and Gaea's Touch.
Could Kruphix's Insight be any good in this deck? works great with Replenish, but could also be good without.

Why no rip+ Helm main deck?
Anybody feel like Enchantress might be a decent deck depending how the meta stays? Watched a friend 5-0 a league last night.
2-1 Sneak and Show
2-1 UW Stoneblade
2-1 Sneak and Show
2-0 Turbo Depths
2-1 Burn
Fewer Leovolds is a great thing and there are a few maindeck cards that really give you a chance against most things. I also looked at the top 32 from the challenge and the only really bad match up off the top of my head was Storm. I also think there's a lot of variation for the deck which is a pretty advantage along with having multiple win conditions from every angle. I'll post what list he was using when I get it but I know he used Words of War, RiP+Helm, and Emrakul to win games. Only thing that didn't really see play was Sigil of the Empty Throne.
Well so far it looks like Reanimator Summer hasn't happened, and less Leovold is definitely a good thing. Could be an exciting time for the deck.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
There are a bunch of variants which are seeing play:
a) RIP\Helm focused
b) Red Spalsh Words of War
c) Black Splash Doomwake no living wish
d) Living wish version
I play c and was about 5 cards off what 16Km played maindeck, but I have seen other versions do well. Hopefully with Deathrite out, less Leovold and the only combo I really concern myself with is storm.
I have a question about the andrea mengucci list.
Why did he play Wickerbough Elder? Maybe somebody can explain it.
Thanks
Start land.... turn... iam near to win.
For a while that spot was Qasali Pridemage, but the mana curve made it a little redundant. The advantage of Elder is that the deck is very good at generating mana, so if you have the 2 extra mana you can get a sizable body out of it.

He said that the Exploration and Runed Halo felt useless and he'd replace them with something else likely another Helm and RiP. Also with GSZ he wanted Dryad Arbor and would also want a main deck Karakas. So -1 Forest and -1 Savannah for those two lands.

I've been playing a lot in an effort to not let my team down during SCG Philly but I've had an awful run on MTGO
I've played two lists, the first one (3 leagues) was a very traditional GW list with Helm in the sideboard, the second (3 more leagues) was a more off the wall thing I had been trying with Solemnity and various cards that go well with it like Phyrexian Unlife, Delaying Shield, and Dark Depths.
In 6 leagues I played against:
Miracles x5 (8-5)
Goblins x3 (3-4)
TES | ANT x2 (2-3)
BR reanimator x2 (0-4)
UR Delver x2 (4-1)
Sneak and Show | Eureka-tell x2 (2-3)
Red Stompy (1-2)
Eldrazi (1-2)
12-post (0-2)
Esper Stoneblade (2-0)
Infect (0-2) [sadly not playing solemnity list while matched against infect]
Turbo Depths (0-2)
Lands (2-0)
Elves (0-2)
High Tide (0-2)
4C Loam (1-2)
Death and Taxes (1-2)
RUG Delver (1-2)
Grixis Control (1-2)
Academy Rector combo (2-1)
Which feels pretty much exactly what I would expect, losing to combo, doing good in the "fair" matches, and probably not enough games versus certain decks to draw good conclusions (like D&T). Shout outs to the academy rector combo for being the wildest deck. It's good to not see so much Leovold and DRS being gone is a huge boon, but I feel like I'm not actually gaining any ground.
