I actually lost my deck after the sunday tourney and it was turned in, I would like to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. On to something much more relevant to this discussion after running around frantically trying to find my deck. I went up to the judges stand and asked if any decks had been found the first guy told me no immediately but this other guy over heard me and said that yes there had been. He asked me to list the cards and I did and then he asked me to list the cards in my sideboard and I did then he gave me my deck back and told me to be more careful. I don't know if you asked the same guy as I did but maybe you should check with who ever was running the event and see if something similar didn't happen to you. Sorry if you have already checked with the TO. I am deeply sorry for your loss and hope something turns up.

Are listed on the restricted list.

I would like to just say that I agree with everyone out there that has said we should wait to see what happens after 3sphere is restricted before restricting dark ritual. During this time we will see wether or not sphere of resistance is enough to stop combo, I believe it is enough to stop belcher.

Windfall you may have no fear of each individual card but as you yourself said how often does that happen a sphere of resistance can be followed with a smokestax it still makes it difficult for combo to go off. As for being able to play spells I think you should be able to, isn't that the reason that combo had been restricted in past because it allowed you to win without any interaction from your opponet.
