I want to be able to beat every top deck out there are the moment, but I feel like I am missing out on vexxing shusher or gut response. Only problem is, the only thing I can see taking out is the o-rings, but then my deck just screams "Get raped by enchantments and artifacts"

What artifacts/enchantments are you concerned about? Many decks have dropped Naturalize-like cards altogether - many white decks have dropped Wispmare. Glorious Anthems in BW Tokens are a problem for this deck. You can take them all out at once with Tempest of Light . However, they've now added Zealous Persecution to their arsenal - big trouble for the most common Boat Brew decks. To combat that you could add your own Anthems, Goldmane, or both.
But maybe there are other specific artifacts/enchantments that worry you.

if you are that worried about enchantment/artifacts..... then why not run Duergar Hedge-Mage you can fit him in by replacing the reflecting pools with mountains.... still a 3 cost although you are more likely to hit the enchantment than the artifact....

I do have a random question about this deck however, why do i keep seeing stillmoon in the board? he works against token, boatbrew, half of blightning, can't be blocked by over half of 5 color control....

the only thing I can reason is that it is expected to die to a mog fanatic vs boatbrew or blightning.... perhaps I am wrong....

I ran Forgetender and Stillmoon MD when the 5CC-Wall deck was brand new - Forgetender helped more than Stillmoon. But I was running Vengeant (not Goldmane), and no Anthems - if you can get Stillmoon out of range of Volcanic Fallout he'd be outstanding against 5CC.

Well I used to run them. Believe it or not this deck originally started out as the eventide r/w untap theme deck. Then I slowly worked it to this. I used to run glorious anthems and ajani goldmanes and they just didn't work out well enough. But I'm still looking for opinions on whether or not people think I should throw in guts.

I always did great with Goldmane against most decks. In the 5CC thread players opine that Ajani V. is not the threat he used to be - Celestial Purge, ya know. And Pithing Needle, which of course can shut off Ajani G too - if it isn't dropped before the guy appears, guessing Vengeant. Anthem would seem to be good also, again, considering BW Tokens Anthems, and their Zealous Persecution. BW Tokens is a deck you know you'll see a lot of.

Then there's the version of Boat Brew that runs 2 WoG main and 2 SB. We put that deck together at our local card shop to be part of the gauntlet, and everyone who has played it has gotten great use out of the WoG, and sided in the other 2 eagerly second game. It's not too hard to make sure a WoG is to your advantage, but it is only temporary relief from tokens, especially if they have a Bitterblossom in play.
