Multiplayer, Competitive EDH: Red Boardwipes

[Ufactor]

What is the ideal use of red boardwipes* in competitive, multiplayer edh?  I feel like they're too good to ignore.  Jhoira is probably the most common example of a deck that uses these.  Jhoira also has no subterfuge whatsoever - people know before the highroll what you're playing and how you plan to win.   Slobad decks have Goblin Welder and Kuldotha Forgemaster and options for a soft lock via overlapping combinations of Worldslayer, Darksteel Forge, Nevinyrral's Disk, Mycosynth Lattice, KSG, and Gorilla Shaman.  I don't have an optimal Slobad decklist (I could use some help if anyone has a good build for this), but I feel that there are a lot of cards that make up the core with less options for customization as compared with most other decks.  Also playing Maelstrom Wanderer seems plausible, that way you could get all of the cheaty U/G options for drawing, mana ramp and infinite combos, but with a way to prevent everyone else from achieving the same thing ...and I would say that's my point.  Red resets are a reverse time walk for the entire board, and are a genuine pain in the ass for all combo decks.  Is there something potentially broken to be found here? Has anyone had convergant results and experience with this?
