Well yea, that's what I mean by essentially. In pure theory, sure, the hand and board are best but that runs dangerously close to saying tutors in general can't generate card advantage.
I've tested the deck and found that the addition of a single Mindslaver is pretty good as another way to lock the opponent. The deck win % improved quit significally after that change (I removed one node, that I put to Sideboard, from wich i removed 1x Rule of Law)

I most certainly am not an expert on Meta-Game Extended, but I have a long history w/ Domain decks since the IBC was just Invasion.
Here are a few points I would like to throw out there:
-What about Boseju Who Shelters All? Even as singleton?
-Petrified Field is a MUST... after seeing the U/W Gifts.. it is an unquestionable change
-Terramorphic expanse is too slow, Terminal Moraine is better b/c it taps for mana, I would up the Fetch Land counts and -4 those, and Add the P. Field
-I'm gonna agree on the Nodes going to SB
-Something about that Krosan Grip not being MD bothers me.. only b/c of the matchup vs so many decks, I am thinking Stick and Jitte's mainly
-Blinkmoth Well in the SB if needed later on down the line?
-I think cutting 2 if not 3 tops for Trinket Mages is a better call as filtering your draws vs finding bullets is a no brainer
-Cutting 1 Crucible is a possible as w/ a Ruins and a P. Field you don't need to worry about that
-No Ivory Mask in SB?
-And if you want a nice Gifts pile.. try Extripate, Dizzy Spell, Trinket Mage, Global Ruin... the Dizzy spell is to find the 2nd Extirpate that would be added to the SB IMO
Anyways, that is the brainstorming.. and Collective Restraint was a pivitol card of all the type 2 Domain decks.. shame we can't really work that in..
Expanse is a much, as it smooths your colors out tremendously. Terminal Morane, while tapping for mana, is just too clunky and costly to be of use. Third turn, rather than tap out to sac the morane, why not just play a culling sales or the like.
After reading some of the suggestions, i added three sakura tribe elders, and a third forest. I also upped the ancient grudge count to 2, due to thier invaluable nature- they kill so many things: sceptre, jitte, sword of fire/ice, affinity, static orb, the list goes on.
After testing some more, i found the sakuras to be exellent, and with the addition of the third forest one has no problem casting them.
Ok ive had one problem with this deck. Same as the original destructive domain its good at not losing but it has hell winning during the alloted time of 50 minutes
It's just yet another way to abuse gifts.
