Interesting idea that I have tried to make work in various ways myself at times. Looking at your lists and a handfull of comments I have these thoughts:
Where is your Root Maze?
Lorescale Coatl is ok, but Pridemage is bad. Trygon Predator seems a lot better to me, though yes it is more expensive.
Xantid swarm is protecting what broken, game-winning bomb exactly? I'd rather have a Nimble Mongoose or something.
How about Arcane Denial? Ponder?
Bazaar of Baghdad / Life from the Loam / Strip / Coatl / Tarmogyf / AK etc is all ok ish... but put on colored moxes in, and 4 ESG if you're not going to do a full set of Moxen.

Well, I've adjusted my list now to have basically -1 Vise, +1 Genju and replaced Harmonize, Null Rod, and one Seal of Primordium with 3 Deglamer.
4 Ankh of Mishra 3 Black Vise 4 Root Maze 4 Pyrostatic Pillar 2 Genju of the Spires
4 Tarmogoyf 4 Magus of the Moon 4 Tin Street Hooligan 2 Gorilla Shaman 4 Simian Spirit Guide
1 Strip Mine 4 Wasteland 3 Ghost Quarter
4 Taiga 4 Stomping Ground 3 Forest 1 Mountain 1 Wooded Foothills 1 Mox Emerald 1 Mox Ruby 1 Black Lotus 1 Lotus Petal
Sideboard: 4 Seal of Fire (for Flash among other things) 3 Seal of Primordium 3 Deglamer 4 Tormod's Crypt 1 Gaea's Blessing
With regards to your comments... lumberjack.dec or 19-sphere or whatever you call it is as I said, interesting, but not really along the same as my deck lines at all other than it being R/G. My deck was created for the specific meta we have currently and basically centers around Ankh of Mishra. The 8 strip effects are particularly brutal because of Ankh of Mishra and Root Maze. Not to mention most top-tier Vintage decks use very few basic lands. Not to mention that you take 5 damage from a fetchland with an Ankh in play.

Interesting 9-sphere R/G there. How fast can you drop those lock pieces (spheres) though without more moxen and/or spirit guides?
As far as my list, it's going to be obsolete soon but Ankh of Mishra and Vise are really brutal in the pre-June 20 meta.
I'm considering the sideboard right now. Dropping to 3 Seal of Primordium, tossing out the Null Rod and Harmonize and putting in 3 Deglamer.

I realize everyone is probably still slightly stunned about what happens June 20th and this might be the furthest thing from your minds, but bear with me.
This is what I've come up with for R/G to compete in pre-June 20th tournament meta, and I think it has potential:
4 Ankh of Mishra 4 Black Vise 4 Root Maze 4 Pyrostatic Pillar 1 Genju of the Spires
4 Tarmogoyf 4 Magus of the Moon 4 Tin Street Hooligan 2 Gorilla Shaman 4 Simian Spirit Guide
1 Strip Mine 4 Wasteland 3 Ghost Quarter
4 Taiga 4 Stomping Ground 3 Forest 1 Mountain 1 Wooded Foothills 1 Mox Emerald 1 Mox Ruby 1 Black Lotus 1 Lotus Petal
Sideboard: 4 Seal of Fire (for Flash among other things) 4 Seal of Primordium (Oath; I hate you) 4 Tormod's Crypt 1 Gaea's Blessing (grindstone/painter, brainfreeze, and ichorid begone!) 1 Harmonize (still considering this, but I like it when in topdeck-mode, still another Genju of the Spires might be better.) 1 Null Rod (also still considering this slot)
No answer for Tinker->Darksteel (no Deglamer) but that's not seeing as much play right now afaik, and I could swap Seal of Fire for Deglamer and just have a worse Flash matchup.
All questions and comments are welcome (I have a good sense of humor), but I am quite serious about this deck. It's almost ready to go, I'm just tweaking the last 2/75 slots.

I've been working on BR type decks as a side project for a few months now; trying to make it Vintage worthy.
Looking at your deck, I thought to myself, why not use necro-cards? Reanimate and Unearth seem somewhat strong? Then you'd probably want Entomb and/or a Buried Alive or two....
The unfortunate problem I keep running into for BR is to make it really Vintage-viable I always want to run a lot of hate. (more than just Duress, but also things like Hymn - which you can't really run with Rite of Flame, Pyrostatic Pillar, Pox, Cabal Therapy, Sinkhole, Strip Mine, Wasteland... the list goes on) Adding all this hate to slow your opponent down really limits what you can put in the deck. I also know with my other non-blue-using decks that run red, I maindeck 2 REB and 3 pyroblast, and that's even less space for new strategies. >.<
I still haven't decided on a definate plan for BR ownage, but it's a work in progress. I can make a deck that beats the hell out of people but any sort of disruption will probably stop you in your tracks.
