Because you need to win within the first 3 turns to be competive in T1 that you definately need to splash green for Fastbond, not only that if you play future sight then your steady, and you can play all your land. They are very right, you dont need a brain freeze AND a tendrils, and brain freeze is not the way to go. Tendrils much better, and only requires 10 spells so if you start to fizzle out semi early you could easily win, 10 spells isnt that much.
I think you need more mana acceleration to play combo, but i haven't tested this deck list so i dunno about that. I would say maybe play more moxen, But i can see where your comming from because that hurts all your untap lands spells, and if your gonna splash green... Regrowth + timetwister some good. If you can get to 6 Mana fairly easy... I would say definately put the Time spiral in... and FoW need to be main deck to stop the hate, and disruption.

Besides cutting the impulse's for the Demonic and Vampiric, I would also recommend... -1 Volrath's Shapeshifter, -1 Quirion Ranger, +1 Akroma and +1 BoP. I played this deck for a while tho i was playing partially powered, I still played 3 shifter because they are considerably slow. If you get to the late game... you have the 3 and the survival trix to get him. However you dont need 4 because he's pretty much a dead draw w/o survival in play. As to your sideboard, what are the ground seal's there for??? Welder's? I would maybe put some misdirection's and naturalize's in your board. Sence there seems to be alot of misdirectable spells in you meta. w/ the r/w and the pillerank and the landstill. There should be enough to warrant it, i think naturalize's wreck in the meta sence there is enchantress, the pillerank deck, enchantress, Ravanger Affinity, and workshop based deck. I would say -1 Xantid Swarm (Survival finds them, and you can usually manage to overwhelm a control player with multiple masks/survivals.) -2 Gilded Drake, doesnt seem like a whole lot of good targets in your metagame. Then also i played this with Welder's in the board when i played my version, even w/o red lands... you have birds, mask's, and the petal in here.  Hope I Helped ya some.

I would say just play GaT you could play a version with B2B for your meta, that would kill out the landstill, board a couple of chills for the sligh match up... and the rock is so slow by the time they have monger around you should be able to roll them with berserk'd dryad, or T0G. i think with a lil bit of red hate in the board you should be fine playing GaT in your meta.

@ mtgmooner: I wasn't trying to discredit Spoiling Mask, it is extremely good, and it has SO much disruption so fast i know exactly what you mean about being able to win any given match-up. However if there is no combo in your meta, I think you play Vangeur, its got more MUST counters and more stuff in the Aggro mirror. ( Of course if there is combo you deffinately play Spoils.)

My only question is...
How many cards do you have in your hand usually, cause the bridge's aren't that good if you keep 3-4 cards in you hand, and what do you need them agianst? TnT, O.Stompy, and Madness???

I think the maindeck moon is defenitely needed in a high powered meta. Because they slow O.Stompy, they hurt dragon and draw7. They are cruel agianst Keeper, Hulk, and the like. They are just amazing and game winning in some matchup's and in matchup's like agianst a madness based deck they can slow them long enough to get you the win. They are just really good agianst around half the meta, if you are playing in Gaea's meta though with sligh and other artifact based decks, there is no need for them. If there isnt any control or combo you can even free up the sideboard slots. Then you have more slots to hate the meta. I think in an unknown meta the blood moon's need to be played but when you know your meta game and dont have to worry about Keeper/Hulk or Dragon. There is definately not a need for them, any 4 toughtness beatz creature sounds like a better play in his meta packed with sligh and other stacker.

Aslong as there is no Draw7.dec or dragon in your meta, i think playing veguer is an excellent choice. I played the deck for a while and it is extremely versitile. Agianst other aggro you have quick 12/12's and Akroma/Phage, and agianst control there are so many must counter's in your deck they cant possible keep you from resolving atleast 1 or 2. Which usually results in you winning. Spoils Mask usually beats control, and you have just about as many must counters as they have disruption. Prison and Combo are the only match-up's to possibly fear. And with SB and Survival you should be able to handle prison :/ chalices can come in agianst combo or B2B agianst dragon to keep them slowed down long enough for you to turn guys sideways.
