After the results at the last SCG P9 event, does this deck stand a chance with the increase in shop decks?

This is the deck that took 1st at that event on the first day.

4 Kird Ape
4 Skyshroud Elite
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Mogg Fanatic
3 Magus of the Moon
2 Stingscourger
4 Tin-Street Houligan
4 Seal of Fire
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Aether Vial
3 Skullclamp
4 Taiga
4 Wooded Foothills
2 Windswept Heath
2 Mountain
1 Forest
2 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Emerald
1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal

Sideboard
1 Stingscourger
4 Pyrostatic Pillar
3 Ancient Grudge
3 Pyroclasm
4 Seal of Primordium

Ive been playing R/G for a long time, but only recently have i played it competitivly. My version looks alot different then the above list.

This is my version:

Land:
5x Forest
4x Mountain
4x Taiga
3x Wasteland
2x Wooded Foothills
1x Strip Mine

Green:
4x Root Maze
3x Wild Mongrel
3x Hidden Gibbons
3x Tarmogoyf
1x Elvish Spirit Guide

Red:
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Kird Ape
3x Gorilla Shaman
4x Simian Spirit Guide
2x [card]Tin Street Hooligan
3x Magus of the Moon

Gold:
1x Artifact Mutation

Artifact:
3x Chalice of the Void
4x Null Rod

Sideboard:
4x Dead // Gone
4x Pyrokinesis
2x Pyroblast
2x Red Elemental Blast
2x Krosan Grip
1x Artifact Mutation

I have been thinking about playing Thornweald Archer http://magiccards.info/fut/en/154.html They seem to be a good option for some of the bigger creatures like a bumped Quirion Dryad, or a sundering titain, plat. angle, akroma, among others.

I've been playing the deck successfully for a few months now, amd  It changes between every tournament to reflect what I expect to be represented.  My 10th place list from SCG indy is in a thread from a whiile back.  If You'd like some comparison, then  check that out.  I'm sure the deck will morph again before (and if) i play it in the future.  Only playing 3 goyf in your list seems pretty silly though.

I would say :maybe. You have to pack a huge amount of hate and maybe REB main.
The problem of this kind of deck is its unability to do something important (say: counter) during the opponents turn and the lack of draw/hand modification.
Skullclamp is not very fantastic in this deck since you will often equip a toughness 2+ creature.
Maybe Pyrostatic Pillar, Gorilla Shaman (!!), Root Maze, Null Rod or Chalice main. Against Shop-decks Goblin Vandal is great. Against Oath you will just lose imo. So maybe Naturalizes SB to let you have a slight chance.
