I talked to Frank Karsten at the end of round 9 when Cifka was playing Dezani. Cifka was also on 2 Ensoul Artifacts in his list. His friend, Ivan, was mentioning how, during testing, Cifka might have wanted to go to 3-4 Ensoul Artifacts in the decklist but kept 2 for more threats. Karsten wasn't in favor of the Ensoul Artifact plan as much, and he regretted having it in the deck. There were also a bunch of other players who had 2 in the deck. But, so many people I have talked to enjoyed the card and kept it in. It is not as good against GBx from what I played, but Stanislav Cifka only sided in 3 Etched Champions and a single Whipflare in his deck. He was on the Master of Etherium plan, while Karsten was not.

I saw the Top 8 Decklists and was proud to see that Nathan Jones and I ran almost the same deck.

 

The changes are

 

-1 Glimmervoid

-1 Welding Jar

-1 Spellskite

-1 Etched Champion

 

+2 Galvanic Blast

+1 Springleaf Drum

+1  Master of Etherium.

 

 

The weird thing I saw that I don't see many people do is add Master of Etherium in sideboard, which would be because of Junk. As Stanislav Cifka also ran 3 Master of Etherium in his deck for Lingering Souls as well, I figured I would look more into it. Just having 1 more Master of Etherium in main deck. I am going to change my sideboard to have another Blood Moon and keep in a Dismember, but I will also go to have 1 more Galvanic Blast in main deck by taking out the Spellskite, so I'll have one Spellskite in Sideboard as well.

I was featured in this article at Round 4. I played against Amulet of Vigor, obtaining a lost in the fourth round.
The cards I sideboarded was

3 Thoughtseize
1 Rule of Law
1 Blood Moon
1 Ancient Grudge
1 Spell Pierce

I sided out

1 Master of Etherium
4 Signal Pest
1 Welding Jar
1 Spellskite

I was on the play, so Thoughtseize was better. I would have sided in Torpor Orb if I was on the draw.
