I would like to hear comments by people who are very much expert about playing Meandeck Gift or Brassman repeal-gift version.
I post a list we are discussin in
www.tipo1.it (italian), basically we are trying to replace the gift #2 and gift #3 (we seldom played 4x gifts ungiven)
I don't know if the deck is completely dead, but for sure it has been slowed down by last B&R list.

1 Intuition The problem is that the metagame of the immediate future seems to containt *a lot* of graveyard hate (flash, ichorid) + storm disruption (long deck).
It is worthy to use graveyard or it's better to fill in with "eot fixers&drawers" ?
