I'm not convinced it's any less of a coin flip, I just think it's a different coin. Some elements of the coin flip concept definitely got changed in that two speed decks facing each other aren't both racing for Son of God and New Jerusalem all the time, however, it really comes down to who draws the least amount of souls and pulls the big two. It definitely requires more skill, and I think that the gap between good and great deck builders has widened, but I don't think much benefit will have been gained amongst top players facing each other.

After playing some games, I changed my vote.

I have found that what doms I keep depends on what deck I am running.  So in a defense-heavy deck I run SoG, Grapes, DoN, FA, CM, Burial, Mayhem.  In a speed deck I would run SoG, NJ, AotL, Grapes, GoYS, CM, Mayhem.  And there could actually be some variations between these 2 depending on the deck.

However, in a balanced deck, and therefore what I voted for...

SoG, NJ, AotL, Grapes, CM, Mayhem, Burial.  For that last spot where I had to decide between GoyS, FA, Burial, and DoN, I figured that GoYS and FA are not going to work unless they come out before my opponent gets the other one, and if I'm playing balanced, then I'm probably not going to win that race.  So really it was between Burial and DoN, and I figured that there are a lot of ways to deal with artifacts (Captured Ark and Lying Unto God being 2 great ways).  Therefore, it made the most sense to keep the dominant that I can't really replace with any other card (Burial).  And since LS availability has become much more important, it just made sense to go with Burial to limit that more.

This is what I've been running in Multiplayer. I keep losing to RLKs do to them killing me with Dom blocks and me being a candy shop.

Also as it stands I don't consider FA to be worth a slot at this point in time. DoN is far more useful.
I'll agree with you, except for this.  DoN and FA are both stopped by Lampy, but FA is more powerful.  Very few people will be packing Guardian.  In a toss-up between the two, I'd root for FA.  Most likely, speed decks will be packing HT in that slot.
