That's a whole lotta shop decks.  I see the Tez(less) deck was running three H-calls.  That's probably about right.  I wonder if the other blue decks weren't packing that many.  I'm surprised to see no Ingot Chewers, tho.

Peace,

Me and my friend made respectivly 12th and 10th in this tournament with Tezz. We were both running Hurkyl's recall but only one. I actually won against Stax and did not do pretty bad against MUD, my missplays costed me the game and must admit that an okay hand (like with plenty of mana, Dark Confidant and/or 2 counters) + any way to tinker makes your game, if you play Sphinx, of course.
I learned that Sphinx just makes your opponent scoop when it's on the table, and regretted I had the Leviathan. Otherwise one Hurkyl's recall is sufficiant, and I think I might run Imperial Seal + Jace 2.0 that help a lot in this matchup. Imp Seal tutoring the Tinker, Jace bouncing Golems and letting you countering them or Thoughtseize them.
If you don't have any of these in your hand, being able to hardcast counters like FoW and Drain through 1-2 Spheres is also good against this deck (If you have a hand with moxens, lands and 2 Counters). Since you'll have enough counters and hand disruption to get rid of their threats, you can wait for a tutor or a win condition to come for a reasonable amount of time.
Also, post sideboard, you've got a nice game plan if you play Nature's Claim and Sower of Temptation, which are both really useful against MUD. What you're trying to do is to let them put 1-2 spheres and get as much mana sources as possible on your side in your opening hand. Then you cast Hurkyl's recall and counter / destroy whatever you want and repeat that 1-2 times so they won't have any hand, but you'll have some resources as you probably had a Dark Confidant. Then sower just leaves you with a good blocker or an excellent threat. MUD often collapses when it comes to be forced to topdeck, so you're trying to buy time to get to that point.

You still have a lot of MUD, but also a lot of other decks, H-calls are not very efficient in multiples otherwise. They belong to the sideboard.
Also MUD can't deal with an early game Tezz, so I'd leave him in.

Hurkyll's can bounce multiple null rods from Fish, create storm and produce mana, and pitches to Force -- I'm not even counting how hard it wrecks artifact-based decks.  The card is exceptional.
