"A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror"

Demand Answers would be a wee bit better than thrill of possibilities. While it may not seem relevant in this particular deck, there are some opponent effects that can grant you an artifact which would then give you a relevant choice... pretty niche, but the card is strictly better. +1 for the deck

Isn't there a max limit per customer for SL? Wotc makes a lot on these bc it's direct to consumer so they get actual retail $ , not wholesale plus they can print to demand and not worry about overprinting. Also, they charge obscene prices for a handful of cards

First of all, I second the previous comments.

To oversimplify it (which IQ tests and really the whole concept of that already does) think of it as an analogy for a processor or graphics card. The 152 model will do what the 100 model does much faster, and it is able to compute stuff the 100 could not even begin to handle.

The test is not good enough to predict how much faster or how much better the 152 actually is tho.

Far away from having been featured, but there used to be a mtg-judge channel where one of my questions got answered in a mailbag video. This was many, many years ago and I could not find the original vid, but someone seems to have reuploaded it - first question with Rain of Gore+Beacon of Immortality is mine... Tainted Remedy had not been printed at the time of recording:

Small edit: of course Gempalm Incinerator's damage ability is triggered... my bad. Still it remains a creature CARD and the interactions don't work.

No and no.

Throne and Violence look for a "creature you control", which specifically means a creature on your side of the battlefield.

Gempalm Incinerator is a "creature card" in your hand (and every other zone except the battlefield) when you activate the cycle ability, so the other cards you mentioned won't "see" it as a creature.

Also, Roaming Throne looks for a "triggered ability" - those are always templated with either "when" or "whenever" - cycling abilities are "activated abilities" and you can identify them by the colon ":" ... they are templated as COST : EFFECT.

That being said, if you have Roaming Throne enter as a Goblin, Gempalm Incinerator will count it as one when you determine X for its ability.

Heartless Summoning does not apply counters at all. It gives a flat -1/-1 static debuff. Hapatra on the other hand requires actual counters to be put on a creature for her ability to trigger.
