130 should be uwg and not uwgbr. you have an uneven amt. of shard cards. one of the shards have 4 while all other have 5. imho its uwb 106-110 ubr 111-115 brg 116-120 wrg 121-125 and uwg 126-130. on phone rite now so pain in rear to check which one u have different just lettin u know
the advantage with not running black, and 5 color in general, is that you take less damage from your lands. Basically Prosak Zoo is more closer to a burn deck, except it replaces all the bad lava spikes with nacatl's
the name Prosak Zoo comes from the creator , Adam Prosak aka ihatepants on modo, calling it Prozac makes it sounds like it has something to do with Rx's which it obv doesn't
anyways about the deck.
Some people use the full five land types to be able to use tribal flames in their naya zoo, mostly instead of incinerate from what I've seen. Viashino slaughtermaster (is that what the 1R doublestrike dude is called?) and might of alara are the most likely additions to this deck from conflux, although I'm not sure you bother with that either
of the two lists posted I prefer Tiago's MD and Phil's sideboard, but ymmv
from Magic Daily News, Mitamura Kazuya(2nd PT Yokohama and more) won the Lunatic Moon Convention Soga 203rd (whew!) tournie with this deck which looks interesting to say the least;
back when they were giving out standard cards ppl complained as well (smother, willbender etc.). I'd rather have them give out uncommons from extended that are hard to come by. Eternal Witness was a good example of this.
Peppersmoke was MVP all day long, even good against 5C Control (maindeck Bitterblossom) , not that I needed help in that matchup, but anyways. I played against 3 x Faeries, 2 5CC (both unortodox, one with Bitterblossom and Elspeth and the other with heavy burn elements - like Flame Javelin and Lash Out) , 2 x Kithkins and Blightning Beatdown.
seeing as the rest of that list is a carbon copy of GerryT's faerie list from a couple of weeks ago, I'd venture to guess that the missing cards are 4 dark confidants
I want to know where the money is going? Cause it's not going to help someone you can't find....
it's to cover legal fees and what not. His family has already racked up like $12K+(last number I heard) worth of bills between going to mexico to look for him and lawyers and what not.
I played that at MB champs and finished third with it, thus making sure I don't make it three(four with limited) in a row
Rd #1 Faeries 0-2
Mana Problems and a small missplay. I should have let him resolve a thoughtseize against me so that he would have take 2 more damage so I could have thundered him out......oh well
Rd #2 BW Aggro Control 2-0
Second game he was at 40 from gaining life with Ajani and Kitchen Finks and what not. Managed to deck him with Jace though
Rd #3 Rdw 2-0
Fought my way back from 1 life in both games. Gotta love playing tight!
Rd #4 Dunno..... 2-0
uhm yeah
Rd #5 WW 2-1 (with the game loss for having 5 resounding waves and no resounding thunders on my decklist, DOH!)
Wrath, Wrath, finks, finks, ultimatum, cryptic you - rinse repeat + story circle game #3
Rd #6 Rdw 2-0
I offerered the draw since I know my opponent but he wanted to play since prizes were based on swiss performance. Finks and Ultimatum rocked him
Quarters': Rdw 2-0
Rd 6 opponent, rinse and repeat
Semis: Faeries 0-2
Stuck on 3 lands in the second game with tripple Cloudthresher, just a slight annoyance
Beat the faerie player twice in a 4x Sarkhan Vol Tournament the week before....but that was with the lands+spells combo that I couldn't assemble this time...

3-4 Elf combo
3-4 5CC
5-8 Soldiers
5-8 BW Discard
5-8 5C Blood
5-8 RDW/b
5CC was probably the most common deck at the top tables. RDW was mostly shining with it's absence.

In Manitoba it was the following top 8;

UB Faeries 2nd
Cruel Control 3rd
Bant Crasher 4th
WW 5-8th
WB aggro control 5-8th
Rb Demigod wins 5-8th

Kithkin def WW
Faeries def WB aggro control
Cruel Control def Rb Demigod wins
Bant Crasher def Rb Demigod wins

Unfortunately I didn't manage to make it three in a row and lost to Faeries in the Semis
