Man I hate that.  I consider it unsportsmanlike conduct.  I had it happen in a PTQ final round where I was 4-3 and basically playing for prizes at that point but my opponent had played 3 other players whom I knew personally and I had an entire group rooting for me.  game 1 I dredged out the win turn 2 and chumped his 2 goyfs game 2 with the combo golgari thug/narcomoeba and the guy behind a game still played incredibly slow and annoying but luckily i pulled it out in the last few minutes.
This is a great board and I also play very format I can just love the game and want to play in every viable tournament i can get to.

cause thats a hit or miss for sac, and it works well as mono black. ive made a few changes to it since the last post of the list, being kinda lazy atm to post it.

I would love to understand why this combo doesn't see more play - or why it's not part of a top deck.

Here's my list, it's not complete by any means and hasn't been tested very much but so far the build works at least. You either oath up or drain into the swans and then tutor for Chain of Plasma and fill your hand and graveyard with useful things and go off. I think it may need more artifact mana and I think adding Manamorphose would be a good idea here but I don't know what to cut. Also crop rotation into Forbidden Orchard would be nice. Here's the list.

Lands: 20
4 Volcanic Island
4 Underground Sea
4 Polluted Delta
4 Tropical Island
4 Forbidden Orchard

Creatures: 2
Swans of Bryn Argoll

Other spells:
3 Chain of Plasma
1 Black Lotus
1 Fastbond
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Tendrils of Agony
4 Mana Drain
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Rebuild
1 Brainstorm
1 Ancestral Recall
4 Force of Will
5 Moxen
2 Duress
3 Intuition
1 Krosan Reclamation
4 Oath of Druids
1 Lightning Bolt
1 Time Walk

//Sideboard:
1 Tendrils of Agony
2 Lightning Bolt (extra draw and also kills goyfs and such)
1 Chain of Vapor
2 Shattering Spree
4 Tormod's Crypt
2 Pyroclasm (against fish and it draws you cards with swans out)
1 Progenitus
2 Crucible of Worlds  (against strip mine strategies)

Not that Terravore is a bad idea at all,
but in case people haven't noticed, playing Terravore makes Relic of Progenitus super duper good against this deck,
since instead of just clearing the graveyard and shrinking the Goyfs or Knights,
it straight up kills a beater you spent three mana on.
Just something to consider.

here is what I came up with. Screw spheres.

The idea is that crucible is broken with entomb and crop rotation unrest. So I'm trying to maximize ways to get crucible into play. The first is the obvious play big mana like workshop. In addition I think some number of Monoliths is a must since it hits the magic number 3 -> crucible. Any number of plays will get you there turn 1.

Second way to get crucible into play would be with welder. t1 welder, t2 entomb will get you there. T1 welder, t2 crop for bazaar will get you on your way. Portal and Razormain are there for corner cases where you aren't ready to set up the lock, but you have an active welder.  

Library was the best way I found to draw cards in green for less then 2 mana. I considered Dark Con since its less life lost, but I liked that I could draw 4 cards in the same amount of time it took to draw 2 cards. Sure, it takes a lot of life, but if you can set up any of the combos, who cares? Also, its a "may" clause, so once you get low on life you can just skip the extra draws unlike confidant.  

Fastbond combo should be obvious with crucible. Chasm makes fastbond painless, and you just cycle b-rings for the win. You can do a number of other things as well depending on your graveyard/hand.

Anyways, just throwing some ideas out there. I was goldfishing this for a bit, and the core idea seemed really powerful. I think I can work on the mana counts for sure though. This deck doesn't have a high CC, and I'm not runing spheres, so I could prob lose some off color moxen. I could also prob knock off 1 or two riftstone portals, but they make casting all the green spells so much easier. That would add room for more threat density. Figure at least 2/3 slots open there. Not sure what to put in. Maybe null rod? Trying to think of a cheap artifact/land based threat that might synergize with the deck. Perhaps the addition of squee to facilitate bazaar and portal.

**flash edit
Oh man, reading the post above, I forgot balance! between 8  5 color lands and riftstone it shouldn't be hard to get 1W. And on Eastman's suggestion in the new CA thread I think I'd add an ancient grudge as well. MMM, entomb is so good.

Originally Neo-Academy also had to rely on Capsize and a couple other cards. I'm not going to look up the original lists but back in the day to get things going you needed about 7 cards. At any rate what makes you think this is better than a deck like TPS?

-4 Tangle Wire (Just don't seem necessary)
-1 Mystical Tutor (Slow

+1 Crucible of Worlds (where was this?  That's like playing only three Flashes)
+1 Tolarian Academy
+1 Thirst for Knowledge
+2 Something

But my initial thoughts tended me more towards something along these lines:

4 Tarmogoyf
3 Terravore

4 Crop Rotation
4 Crucible of Worlds
4 Null Rod
4 Sphere of Resistance
4 Root Maze
4 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Trinisphere

6 Forest
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Mishra's Factory
4 Mishra's Workshop
4 Wasteland
1 Black Lotus
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Mox Emerald
1 Sol Ring
1 Strip Mine

Initial thoughts: I'd much rather play something traditional, with an easier Strip-lock, no slow blue moving parts, but instead a heavier creature base that can wreck Remora, and a heavier lock base that targets Vault, which, if you think it's already everywhere, is going to be EVERYWHERE in the next couple of months, yeah?

Have you thought about running a second Rasputin MD just in case things don't go as planned with the first one? You would need away to sac your first Rasputin before Oathing though. It might be too much of a pain.

I totally didn't see the berserk in the sb, did see the cunning wishes though - 3 is probably a good idea, I'd add a zuran orb in place of one.
