@Choptimist: Good point (not sure how I managed to forget a key part of my own deck), but do note that Chalice is symmetrical, so if you lead with Chalice for 2, you block your own Revoker. So you can tie, but not win.
vs. 01 Anachronity: OTP, I drop Chalice for 0. If it gets Sabotaged, Walker for 1. Otherwise pass the turn.
In my next upkeep, tick Chalice to 1 (to counter Sabotage) and drop Walker for 1. 3-3
vs. 02 CalvinSchwa: T1 Jitte kills Kiki-Jiki. 6-0
vs. 03 Choptimist: Walker beats Revoker. 6-0
vs. 04 Feyd_Ruin: Jitte and Censor cancel out. 2-2
vs. 05 knobbodi: Walker beats Bogle. 6-0
vs. 06 Personman: Hangarback handily races Marit Lage coming out. 6-0
vs. 01 Anachronity: First to play theirs wins. 3-3
vs. 02 Choptimist: Ionalock 6-0
vs. 03 Feyd_Ruin: Ionalock 6-0
vs. 04 knobbodi: Ionalock 6-0
vs. 05 Mogg: I get Choked out just fast enough. 0-6
vs. 06 Personman: Can't beat Marit Lage. 0-6
vs. 07 tomsloger: Ionalock. 6-0
That said, you're right - I can use it to kill the ghost, so ultimately we end up with gobs and gobs of tokens on both sides, which I think ends up as a draw.
vs. 01 Anachronity: I can't normally beat people playing lands. 0-6
vs. 02 Calvin Schwa: I can't normally beat people playing lands. 0-6
vs. 03 Feyd_Ruin: I Misstep Safekeeper and exile all the lands. 6-0
vs. 04 knobbodi: As far as I can tell, you just Ghost all my lands and pop the stolen Sanctum if I Sanctum the ghost. 0-6
vs. 05 Mogg: OTP, I don't play a first turn land. Then I steal and exile every land he plays and Misstep Affliction. 6-0
vs. 07 psly4mne: I can Misstep Rain of Filth and eventually win. 6-0
vs. 08 tomsloger: Sanctum Lock and Boom//Bust Factory = draw. 2-2
vs. 01 Anachronicity: OTP, a 2/4 can block forever. 1-4
vs. 02 CalvinSchwa: I foil the first Lotus and win. 6-0
vs. 03 Feyd_Ruin: Gameplan is Legacy Weapon a land. OTD, Void Snare gets Foiled and turn ends with 2 Loti in play FTW. 6-0
vs. 04 knobbodi: No answer to my combo. 6-0
vs. 05 Mogg: I don't think he has any winning lines. I'm sure Mogg will let me know if he finds one. 6-0
vs. 06 Personman: OTP, I can Foil-with-mana-open LED. 3-3
2) Feyd_Ruin 3-3 :: Agreed
3) knobbodi 1-4 :: Agreed.
4) Mogg 2-2??? :: I might be missing something obvious here, but can't I trade Vizier with Satyr (if you attack without Ithing it, which if you do I won't tak edamage anyway), block a 1/1 with druid, and trade a 1/1 with Nexus? If you try to Claim Nexus, I can Swipe it. 2-2 tie?
5) tomsloger 3-3 :: OTP, you can't cast anything T1 and I can Swipe by T2. Win with Nexus. OTD, you Silence my T2 and win T3.
6) WhammeWhamme 6-0 :: Pretty sure I barely win the races here. Even if you counter my Druid, you can't both store mana and cast your 4-mana counterspell, so either I kill with Nexus or you eventually let me play Vizier. At this point, I win the race by blocking/shrinking your Griffin for a turn. Similarly, OTP I try for T1 Druid, have it countered, you can play Griffin but I win that that race, or you play nothing and I can wait with Nexus. (Please double-check this; I might be very wrong here.)

I like Mindswipe, but Druid/Vizier was too awkward for it. Weird races helped though.
Okay, so, play/draw doesn't affect my matches.
Here's how ours goes:
C1: Inky, Devoted Druid. Resolves, because it's literally irrelevant as long as I hold the counter up for the other half of the combo.
(It doesn't even let you attack and hold up Mindswipe, because you need U/R for Bluffs)
W1: Play second land
C2: Swing with Inky (1 poison). Can cast Vizier to eat Arcane Denial, but I still get to add a counter (because charging the land gets 2 mana for Arcane Denial). If Vizier is not cast, then I just charge up at EOT (creatures cast at sorcery speed). (1 counter)
W: Go
C: Swing with Inky (2 poison), EOT W adds a counter (2)
W: Go
C: Swing with Inky (3 poison), EOT W adds a counter (3)
W: Play the Griffin (leaving a land untapped so I can Denial)
C: If Inky swings, I block and you lose. So it stays home... and then I win the race (17/4, 14/5, 11/6, 8/7, 5/8, 2/9, death for you)
vs. 01 Anachronity: I get my first dragon in the nick of time OTD*. 6-0
vs. CalvinSchwa: Word can force out an Outcast, but then Outcast wins. Trying to resolve Words of Wind results in Defiance vs. hand, Boomerang vs. Words. 6-0
vs. 03 Mogg: Respond to Restore Balance with Boomerang, then play Outcast. If Mogg waits to suspend, discard RB with CD. 6-0
vs. 04 Feyd_Ruin: Boomerang beats Prototype. 6-0
vs. 05 knobbodi: Inky is slow. 6-0
Clean sweep?

If your opponent casts Sleeper Agent, cull it. If they do not, drop lands and go off.
IF they do... use Forbidden Crypt to recur Culling the Weak and execute your combo.
