Shivan gorge is legendary, neither of us can win with it. I could destroy mine for a 3/3(on the play) but it'd be useless against his field and I'd lose to his gorge. So the lands go bye-bye and we draw.
I would like to submit a correction to another matchup though:
Vs
06 Antonia :: "You Keep it So Ascetic"
Angel's Grace / Pact of negation / Troll Ascetic
listed 6-0
suggested 4-1
On the Play I force a draw by beasting my gorge which races his troll. this means he either trades his troll with my token, or counters my beast within letting me play bridge which means we draw that game. (I just realized if he counters beast within I can win with gorge, but it doesn't matter he can still draw by trading.)
It seems like you guys have already found an acceptable solution, so this is more of an afterthought, but I think I've found a simple solution to the discard problem:
"If a spell or ability controlled by an opponent would cause a card in your hand to change zones before the end of your second turn, you may choose to keep that card in your hand instead."
Just add a choice. Now, you can't unintentionally submit an illegal deck because of the discard rule. If you submit Thoughseize... fine, submit it, but it won't work until the third turn.
Just my two cents.
The other functional change besides making discard require fewer cards/less mana is that discard would be a turn faster on the draw. That would turn current 3-3 matchups into 6-0.
Not the end of the world, but a slower format allows more innovation.
The "discard" rule could be written so as to be active until both(all) players have completed 2 full turns, which seems to be the intent. That would make Benbuzz's wording less of a functional change and also avoid loophole cards like Anvil of Bogardan.
Honestly, I'm more interested in the rule that says all decks must be able to win a match, especially in backbuild. Some backbuild decks can win against a goldfish and not much else. It might be hard to tell a deck that beats nothing but a goldfish(illegal because a goldfish is not itself a legal submission) from a deck that beats maybe 1-10 decks out of all possible legal decks.
Perhaps It could be rewritten to exclude itself when checking deck legality.
"all submitted decks must be able to win a match against at least one deck that follows all rules except this one", or perhaps players could be required to submit a chain of decks which the deck beats which loops back to the original submission, or one could take it on faith that such a chain exists and just accept all decks which can beat a goldfish and/or the test deck. I suppose the moderator could just always make the test deck a legal deck.

Special: Opponent begins the game with his cards on the battlefield. You start with your cards in your hand.
Objective: Create a deck that allows you to 6-0 against the opponent's deck.
Extra Credit: Extra style points if you accomplish one or more of the following:
* Your deck deals no combat damage.
* Your deck runs five copies of the same card.
* Your deck is capable of putting Decree of Silence into the graveyard.
* Your deck is capable of putting all your opponent's cards into his graveyard.
Memnite x5 gets the uniform deck and decree of silence bonuses. I can't think of any deck that gets both those bonuses and another one.
cloudpost x4 / Emrakul the ages torn is the simplest and quickest way to get the field wipe bonus but it doesn't get the non cb bonus, or the x5 bonus.

on the play I lock him out of his combo. on the draw I lose to it.
3-3
Memnite x5 gets the uniform deck and decree of silence bonuses. I can't think of any deck that gets both those bonuses and another one.
cloudpost x4 / Emrakul the ages torn is the simplest and quickest way to get the field wipe bonus but it doesn't get the non cb bonus, or the x5 bonus.
epic struggle/Back to Nature/Springjack pasture/Mistveil plainsSaltcrusted Steppe manages to get all bonuses but the uniform deck bonus.
