Well, it's no Tin Fins. :p

Which list did you have in mind? There's the partial list (sans manabase) posted by Ninja of Ni, which is a start to something interesting, but as it stands, I'd think it would easily lose out on general duel matchups if compared to your B/R Pain Madness deck. The more interesting question would...

Yeah, I agree. Because that's how you want to approach the game. That's how you want to challenge yourself or whatever. Not everyone goes about things in that way... Some people like to build decks in which all of the cards have the same artist. Some people like to build decks that have...

Haha, nope.

What is it that you think that means, though? It seems to me that if one card can be a crutch, then any card could be a crutch. Even for the worst cards in the game, it's possible to construct decks that rely on those cards. This is a zero-sum game. Confusing. You say it's hypothetical, then...

You got me there, but I think I have pretty damn good excuse on this one... They'd already made the announcement several days ago. They accidentally leaked their own bannings because the beta MTGO already had the cards unavailable, so people figured it out and they went ahead and made an...

Well, I don't think that the card should have been banned. I don't actually play MTGO, but some of the people who do have been pretty critical of this decision as well. Two main decks were using CoF in Pauper... -Delver decks, which didn't mind having a free, flying creature, especially since...

To be nicer. Yeah, that's sounds weird, but there's context. In my time at the CPA, too many of the times that I've tried to make points or refute points others made that I thought were spurious, instead of sparking a lively discussion, all it did was cause everything to devolve into aimless...

So, the part where I actually quoted you, which uses the quote function on this message board and contains a "Terentius said" tag, contains only your words, verbatim. I didn't change anything. Following that, as part of my commentary, I used quotation marks around part of what I said. I didn't...

Either I've hit a nerve or you didn't realize how this reads when you wrote it. "And when I say that you use a crutch, all that means is that I think you lack style and imagination. You see, my good man, the root of our disagreement simply lies in the fact that you are an uncivilized brute. A...

I'm not necessarily saying that an particular one of them should go, if this sort of thing is what's working (although Wings of Veli Vel seems like a card that would go in a different deck). I'm saying that it's a lot of slots dedicated toward the same sort of thing even if that's not what you...

Oh, that's why you said enchantment deck!

Yeah. I was thinking of pointing out some of the newer beasts, but this looks like it still holds up reasonably well for what it is, and you get a lot of mileage out of Krosan Vorine, something no one else would think to use anymore.

Now that I think about it, I've seen a huge range of infect decks and it's a bit weird to just say "Infect" like it's all one archetype. Infect was an archetype in Zendikar-SoM Standard and again in SoM-Innistrad Standard. It's also turned up in Modern and Legacy. I guess that the main thing...

I like how they clearly designed Chaos Warp as a red tuck option for Commander, but then the RC killed that with the tuck rule. Still works as counter-hate and such for your deck. And you can't really go wrong with more Griselbrand and Sheoldred. Buried Alive is iffy here. You're already able to...

A blast from the past! You still have this deck? Creatures tend to be stronger than they were back then, and there are some pretty good beasts that weren't available eleven years ago... Well, I'd have to test the deck to get an idea of what it could or couldn't use. Rancor is, bar none, the...

The only graveyard hate I've been unable to do anything about is Stonecloaker, but I hesitate to tweak the whole deck to deal with that one card. If multiple people are packing enough graveyard hate or if one person weirdly commits to it, then I probably just lose. Otherwise, graveyard hate is...

I'm going to be pretty critical of this deck, so let me get a couple of other things out of the way first. I like that you've built a deck around an obscure rare all these years later. This is the sort of thing I'd like to do, and should probably try. I'm also elated that there's a new deck...

Kind of? I played in a Legacy tournament with my "Oops, All Spells!" deck. There was a kid (like, someone under twelve) in the tournament playing his Standard B/G Elves, losing every round but still having a good time. Between rounds, I played my Standard deck against his. All four copies of...

Seeing the entire set now, there are a few cards that look promising, and the set as a whole is probably better than BFZ, but yeah, still disappointed here.
