On the subject of Hatching Plans, I think MonoBlue deserves it. The following deck it`s an idea that uses Claws of Gix and Abjure :shock: to draw the 3 cards. Anyway, I'm not sure to cut the Ophies. Also, against Oath, Claws of Gix becomes a hoser.
Hatching Claws
Mana (24)
8 SoLoMaMox 1 Stripmine 1 LoA 2 Seat of the Synod 6 Fetchland 6 Island
Counter (16)
4 Force 4 Drain 2 Mana Leak 2 Misdirection 2 Forbid 2 Abjure
Draw/Engine (15)
1 Time Walk 1 Ancestral 1 Mystical 4 Thirst 4 Hatching Plans 4 Gix
Kill (3)
1 Tinker 1 Morphling 1 DC 2 XXX??? ( maybe keg, capzcice or other bounce, or cut 1 Gix and add 3 Ophies )

Try this one, it`s a real monster sometimes go on turn 2. I also have a turboland decklist, post it later. The counters never convince me a lot, maybe 3 psionic blast instead of the power sinks.

Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / Is Keeper a dead Archetype?

Actually I think there`s no reason to play Keeper, if you can play Tog. There`s a lot of discussion about this two decks, but here`s a poll for the final verdict. Discuss your votes.

Exactly. That's why Tog players lose to Stompy - becuase they think they have to control the board rather than combo over.
Steve That`s true, against aggro the essence of Tog is to focus on the combo, instead of playing the deck as control. This is the primary reason of lossing. About the Drawing engine, I am actually running: 1 Gush ( I would never cut this one: target Tog gets +6+6, 0cc, what else? In the opening hands, it`s a pitch for FoW, or you can hide it with brainstorm+fetch) 1 Merchant Scroll (Maybe cut for Deep Anal, now in the SB), but scroll is really useful, can fetch first turn Recall and sometimes the 4th AK) 1 Fact or Fiction: why nobody like this one?

Already know that duress is proactive, but in this particular version of `keeper' the idea is to play the hoser(CoM) as quickly as possible( against tog/keeper/still/etc ), duress fits better than leak in this particular case. Also, against combo is a better option. I think it deserves testing.
Anyway depends on the metagame you are facing, in an aggro metagame i would play manaleak.

Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / [Deck]A new look at Keeper- GateKeeper as we call it.

Interesting deck, it seems to be the perfect combination of keeper and landstill.
When playtesting this deck, Eternal Dragon was great, i think is an essencial card, it helped a lot with the mana base as a permanent fetch. Also, under a standstill was awesome.
On The GateKeeper version, i would try
-2 Fire/Ice +1 Fact or Fiction + 1 Decree of Justice
As vintagethug01 said, the 3rd Decree is just for pressure under a standstill in the early game.
What do you think about Teferi´s response in the SB? Can protect LoA, Dustbowl or any land. I know is really slow with wishes(5CC), but in the late game is a bomb, and this deck is supposed to win there.

Well, no posts about this deck, so discuss it here.
Just for reference, 2003 version (obsolete now)
4 Goblin Charbelcher
4 Land Grant 4 Elvish Spirit Guide 4 Dark Ritual 4 Chrome Mox 4 LED
7 SoLoMoxen 1 Lotus Petal 1 Mana Crypt 1 Mana Vault 1 Grim Monolith 4 Eldamri´s Vineyard 4 Chromatic Sphere 1 Bayou
4 Duress
1 Memory Jar 1 Necropotence 1 Channel 1 Regrowth
1 Yawgmoth´s Will 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Demonic Consultation 1 Vampiric Tutor 4 Spoils of the Vault
The deck lost almost everything after the last restrictions, anyway i think is still viable. Although the deck is hosed by chalice, matrix, null rod etc etc.
Neo Belcher
4 Goblin Charbelcher
4 Dark Ritual 4 Land Grant 4 Eldamri`s Vineyard 4 Chromatic Sphere 4 Elvish Spirit Guide 3 Cabal Ritual 7 SoLoMoxen 1 Bayou
1 LED 1 Lotus Petal 1 Chrome Mox 1 Mana Vault 1 Mana Crypt 1 Grim Monolith
4 Duress 3 Unmask
4 Spoils of the Vault 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Demonic Consultation 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Channel
1 Regrowth 1 Yawgmoth`s Will 1 Memory Jar 1 Necropotence
The SB must include Swarms, oxidize/naturalize, maybe planar voids.
Any thoughts??

Well, the inclusion of 4 FoW seems to be obvious here.
A card that deserve testing is Mind´s Desire, if not a central part of this deck, after a Twister or Spiral, Desire can give you the game.
Other suggestions
-1 Mediate +1 Mind`s Desire -1 Impulse +1 Braingeyser -1 Candelabra +1 Mind over matter
About the mana base, i would play the following
1 Tolarian Academy 4 City of Brass 4 Gemstone Mine 3 Gimmervoid 7 SoloMoxen 1 Mana Crypt 1 Mox Diamond 1 Mana Vault 1 Lotus Petal

Elite Force: where is demonic consultation???
If you are playing 3 voids & 3 pernicious, consultation must be the choice.
On lotus petal, under a Void is a dead card, but in the opening hands it brings great advantage, specially if you are not playing Mox JET.

I run Humility maindeck( aggro metagame), i suggest you to drop a volcanic for another tundra or a city of brass.
Personally, I think masticore is not a great option because the drawback is horrible for keeper. Actually I am running 2 decrees and 1 scepter instead of trenches. What do you think about 1 scepter???
