I only found Etali once against the UW deck I talked before. Sometimes when playing for fun, I remember playing against a monowhite auras, and kept all the good things for me.
I would play it only if that same turn, or the turn before, you looked at the opponent hand and find non threat for creatures. Maybe there is a better creature that could replace him, but for the moment, I play him to steal opponents cards.
Edit: I was searching for creatures to substitute, and found Dragonlord Kolaghan. This could work like a charm thanks to all discard/removal.
Yesterday we were 8 players. Here is a short resume of my 3 games.
1. Against a very newbe UW gain life. I just didn't had any pressure at any moment, it was rather easy. 2-0
2. Against burn RW. First game he went really fast, T2 3 creatures, a lots of burn spells at hand to make them big... I added 3 Leyline of Combustion and took out 3 Thoughtseize and found them on G2 and G3. In G2 Bedlam came in, and G3 Mogis after killing his creatures. 2-1
3. Against 5C Niv-Mizzet. I never found a Thoughtseize, the most I had was Collective Brutality. On both games he had Klothys on the battlefield on T3. Once there I cannot do much. Really bad draws. Seriously, even playing for fun, I never had luck playing with this guy haha. 0-2
Recently played against a mono green stompy. Thats why I put in an anger and bontus from the side. Even with this tons of removal, they can speed so much that gets out of range. Specially with the troll that when dies enchants a land giving 2 green. Tomorrow, I hope there will be enough players to play a few games with other decks!
Last day, while ordering my cards, I found Mogis, God of Slaughter. I always found it funny and interesting to play. I thought that combining it along Klothys, God of Destiny, they both could work fine together.
So, I thought, what could work with those two? Discard and removal were my thoughts. Jund colors.

Overall, 2-1, finishing second.
