Since Enlightened Tutor is being discussed, how about the enchantment that enchantresses usually run? The enchantment Sterling Grove? It helps search for food chain as well as protecting it.

Always looking for more people to play in the Chicago area. Anyone interested send me a PM.
Show and Tell has been pretty useful as both a secondary means of winning and a way of decreasing the chance of fizzling on the combo turn. Imperial Recruiter improves the consistency by miles.
@cole: you deck lists seems a bit off, mystical tutor dosnt help as its a dead card during combo. scourful isnt a good card. imperial recruiter is nice but so hard to find and horribly expensive, grat for this deck, it can grab a few cards. if i had them id gear the deck more towards the painters servant+grindstone+x2 priest of gix for the mana to play and activate it. and maybe some toolbox dudes.

Mystical Tutor is a potentially dead card during the combo. It can be used in addition to one of the card draw creatures to dump an Emrakul or Myojin into play via Show and Tell. Mulligans happen less often when I have the option of just finding Show and Tell to toss a 15/15 into play. I have been satisfied seeing with Mystical Tutor nearly every time I play the deck.
Yeah, Egotist is an awful card. He also randomly generates a bunch of mana off of Food Chain. He could be replaced but it would likely be for some other mana source.
I may have to test Kozilek over Myojin as he seems promising.
Edit: Drift of Phantasms could be a replacement for Mystical as it does search for both Food Chain and Show and Tell. I could try that out sometime.
usually counters can mess up any combo, hence the rush mana, force them to have it in their opening hand or suffer. also game 2 you have more counter hate with dosan. i might drop some guys for land to increase the chance of having turn 1 and 2 combos

given that you're a creature combo deck using food chain, have you considered glowrider or thorn of amethyst? in the sideboard, at least. It would give you something pretty solid to make a faster combo decks life miserable without really affecting you too much.
Maybe Vexing Shusher? Most of the decks that play countermagic don't have a way of spot removaling him. It also turns into a dude to toss to Food Chain.

ive tested glowrider in the board and he is such a great hoser against many decks. i may give him another try.

swords is a very common card in legacy and most control decks run it.

I am still a bit worried about protecting myself though. Is there no way to profitably include FoW or Silence/Chant or discard?
Does the deck have a problem with opposing counters/hate much?
