I've given the deck another overhaul. Changes from the November version... -1 Ashen Ghoul: Too small to matter in the long run. Usually, this guy just sat in my graveyard doing nothing. -1 Call of the Herd: This sure did let me make a 3/3 elephant token, even if the card was milled away...

As I've pointed out in the past, I've had a Burn deck since 1998 or so, and it's the only deck of mine that hasn't been completely dismantled since then. My deck has evolved a whole lot in those 16 years, as I acquired better cards and as new sets introduced new tools. But I'd like to think that...

This does make sense if we want a new committee system. I don't know how much of a committee we'd have. I think just about everyone here is pretty familiar with certain sets, and less so with others. In my case, I've played with cards from all sets to some extent. I'm a bit weak on Innistrad and...

You missed out on some good stuff! Well, I'm up for it.

I don't know that we stopped because of any realization. Maybe you realized it seemed hollow. The only discussion on the subject at the time was that we were going to wait. When it never happened, I just assumed that getting committees together for this was too much of a bother...

Yeah, I picked the Signet because I wanted access to black mana for if I topdecked an answer in that color. I hadn't noticed that the library was empty. So yeah, oops. I'll just discard it.

Ooh. Doing games with the 2013 Commander precons? I have all of them, so I wouldn't even need an Excel list...

I realize that you're making a general statement about the lack of activity in this little community, and on that point I concur. But to be fair, wouldn't most people have played more with cards from Conflux since it came out than they had with Shards of Alara back when we voted on it? Granted...

I can't help it if my opponents don't bother to finish me off! :oops:

I used to play some shared library format a long time ago, but it was pretty different from this. I don't remember what it was called... Also, done of course.

Well, I'll just say that if the game had gone differently, with the game drawing to a close, it being down to me and one person who had a better board position and I'd tried to win by decking my last opponent with Braingeyser or something, only to be told that no, an invisible "no decking" rule...

It was the small set printed following Shards of Alara. It basically just continued the heavy multicolored theme of the shards (Bant, Esper, Grixis, Jund, Naya), but it also added some five-color stuff and brought back the "domain" mechanic (which didn't have a name before). Well, I've played...

Well, there's no mention of that in the source we originally got this from. You guys can modify it however you want, but I haven't seen any mention of a contingency for loss by decking. It's not like Mindmaster or whatever. The library is actually quite big, just not so big that it can't...

Then I'm decked?

Does that mean I choose two more cards from the common pool?

So I'm decked?

I had all of the possible cards for this game unlocked before the expansion came out. Since then, after playing through the expansion content, I've used a Bant Keeper deck to win some online matches and acquire the "battle boosters." Now I'm all caught up and have 100% of the card collection. I...

My impression is that the Dimir Signet gives me the best chance here.

I suppose how much color matters for the flavor of this is up to personal interpretation, but it sure seems like a hero named Swamp Thing whose entire body is green and plant-like and who lives in a swamp wouldn't be a white and red card.
