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.

// Lands
3  Flooded Strand
2  Polluted Delta
3 [UG] Island
1  Tolarian Academy
2  Underground Sea
1  Snow-Covered Island
3  Volcanic Island

// Creatures
1  Darksteel Colossus

// Spells
1  Ancestral Recall
1  Time Walk
1  Fact or Fiction
1  Mox Pearl
1  Sol Ring
1  Black Lotus
1  Mox Emerald
1  Mox Jet
1  Mox Ruby
1  Mox Sapphire
1  Mana Crypt
4  Force of Will
4  Mana Drain
4  Brainstorm
1 Mystical Tutor
1  Chain of Vapor
1  Lotus Petal
2 Deep Analysis
4 Merchant Scroll
1  Gifts Ungiven
1  Rebuild
1  Recoup
1  Yawgmoth's Will
1 Demonic Tutor
1  Duress
1  Empty the Warrens
1 Misdirection
1 Tendrils of Agony
2 Repeal
1 Tinker
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" ?

The first thing you should be doing is running library. You win so many games off just having that card its insane.

The biggest problem with having only 1 Gifts is the inability to force Gifts through by the simple fact of having multiple Gifts not to mention being able to get Gifts with Gifts in the card advantage package.  Now seeing as Vintage is really fast right now this is not the end of the world but finding Gifts is a much slower process now, which does hurt alot.  Intuition can work as a pseudo replacement but its not as powerful and a pretty different card functionaly.  Things like AK are at a premium with Intuition wheras they suck with gifts.  It seems like Gush is the midrange card drawing card of choice right now in Vintage but only time will tell.
