Sun Titan was too situational. I played Inferno Titan over them and was very, very happy. I appreciate your write-up, Rich. This part stood out most to me, mostly because Sun Titan sounded so good on paper. I still need to play more with the deck (was busy all weekend and missed the p9) but Inferno Titan wasn't a card I was super excited about running.

There's another list on MTGGoldfish that shows Rich playing an Inferno Titan in that slot. Sun Titan sounds interesting because of what it can end up getting back. Both seem better than Prime Time.
In fact, the more I think about it, the more I like Sun Titan as an anti-shops target. At worst, it'll return you a land. At best, it returns a Dack or Deed (which you hopefully mill while oathing).

In the last week or so I've run into someone playing the RG version of Survival with Magus of the Moon. It seemed particularly nasty. Forgive me for necro'ing this thread but has anyone given Survival decks a try recently?

I didn't have quite as much luck in my daily excursion (going 1-3) but I'm curious what you'd replace Titania with. Perhaps we just roll with Elesh Norn MD? It doesn't help against Shops but should be good in most other caes.

I've tried the Seeker and wanted for it to work, I've just never had it actually play out in a game yet. I had tried Dromoka previously, but being a Gush deck (even with Fastbond) it was very hard to ever cast. Even without lifegain, though, I've found Library to have plenty of utility and occasional card draw.
In the meantime, I've personally added a third Mentor and an additional Jace. I haven't gotten to play the deck quite as much as I'd like but I'm definitely still thinking about it and trying to make it work better.

A problem I have with this thread is that it suggests there is one optimal build when the deck is a core of several cards (Mentor, Sylvan Library, Gush) and a bunch of peripherals that are 100% metagame dependent.
Actually this is what I was trying to convey in my OP.

I haven't played those two cards yet (I'm playing a 2nd JTMS and Dromoka instead) so I'd be curious in hearing Rich's thoughts on the cards. I've been playing this list:  I've been really enjoying Fastbond, as it allows for some very explosive things to happen really quickly. The singleton Dack and Grudge feel very good in the current meta, while I'm not sold on MBT. I think it could maybe be a Stony Silence for additional shops hate. I'm also still trying to get a feel for the deck and what it does in all the various matchups.

Played 4c Mentor today to a 4-3 finish. Breakers put me at 33rd so I just missed getting my entry back. Was a lot of fun, had some high highs and some nailbiters. At one point I looked at 12 cards for 5 outs in my deck and found none of them. But then a round or two later I won on t3 both games, so it balances out.
Can't wait to see how many people get in next month!
