How about the deck Chapin posted? It looks... 'weird'.
Does anynbody have some experience with it?

Chapin and a bunch of Pros swear by The Deck. I'm not kidding!

I have seen it maybe once in a top 8 somewhere some time ago. Where are all those top players who play this deck and why are they not top 8-ing? Not meant to be irritating, just genuinely curious...

Robrecht.

Graves took it to back to back top 8's albeit in 30 man pools and won one of them, 11/21/09-11/22/09 by morphling's count.  It would be interesting to see Stephen's thoughts on the deck as they met in the finals... or did you guys split?

I think that Null Rod is critical to decks like that Mono Red one, especially considering it's not relying on moxen for color fixing like 5C does. Definitely better than some number of sphere effects, and it's also nice that it actively prevents the situation where they somehow assemble vault/key out of a seemingly impossible lock.

I agree completely, I play B/R Stax and null rod is an absolute house against Tez, which represents the biggest slice of my meta (would say about 50%).  As a lock card, its the nuts, especially with many other decks throwing in vault/key as an additional win con.
