Are we waiting on me? I don't see anything I can do here. I have no cards in my hand and nothing of interest on the board. Am I missing something?

Without devotion, Erebos is basically Greed with a higher activation cost. It's an indestructible version of Greed that stops opponents from gaining life and can be played through Karador and such, but still, it's basically Greed. Ooh, good point. And the bestow function works with Karador's...

For a non-black creature? I always thought Swamp Thing would be more in flavor for black/green.

Splinterfright would definitely be a good option. It was only a month or so ago that I realized just how many cards Innistrad Block has that fit into this sort of deck. I eventually added Ghoultree and such, but didn't go for Splinterfright, and I don't remember why not. I even suggested...

I loved the Hall of Fame and I hated it, all depending on how I reacted to the cards chosen... Takklemaggot: "Well, that's not what I expected, but I guess it could be a pretty interesting card..." Phelddagriff: "Yeah, that's the obvious choice. Foregone conclusion here." Sliver Queen: "Yay...

I ended up beating the expansion storyline the day after my previous post. It's pretty short. Once you beat it, you can play through the expansion opponents with your own deck if you want, but the first time around, you're locked into Garruk's deck. Garruk's deck starts out as a pretty weak...

Well, I can think of ideas, but they're not good ones.

Sun Titan was one that I considered, but for some reason I never actually tried it. That was before I was running Saffi and a few other cards that might make Sun Titan even more useful. So I'd probably better give Sun Titan another look. The only reason Living Death isn't in this deck is that...

Horizon Canopy is back in and Karakas is out. This is solely due to the Rules Committee banning Karakas and the unwarranted respect that this "official" designation has in the community. I'd rather have a deck that is deemed "legal" by potential opponents than one that includes Karakas (same...

Block with Cavern Harpy, sacrifice Enslaved Dwarf to pump Cavern Harpy.

Well, I got the expansion. Actually, I was automatically awarded the expansion, having bought the premium content at some point. I haven't gone through most of the expansion content yet, but it looks like this release is intended to fix some of the issues that players had complained about. And...

I've got to go. But I'll play an Island and discard Mountain and Kamahl's Summons at the end of my turn.

You'd have to find people registered to vote, but who don't vote. You'd have to acquire their ballots, fill them out, sign each one, and drop them off. That's a lot of trouble to go to for what? A dozen extra votes? I guess if you really wanted to have more say than anyone else in deciding the...

Yeah, they recommend voting early (but, alas, not often) for that very reason. If there's a problem with one's signature, the voter could be contacted and the vote verified before election day if the ballot was turned in early enough.

The November 2008 election was the last one in which Washington had polling locations, although I was already registered to receive absentee ballots anyway. I usually procrastinate, but this time I turned in my ballot about a week before the election.

We're all absentee ballots in Washington. I voted ages ago.

Resale value: Built from Scratch. Play: Either Built from Scratch or Forged in Stone depending on your style. Coolness: I think there's a case to be made for Guided by Nature, but I'll look into it more once I have the actual decks... Basically, Built from Scratch is the Mind Seize of this...

Untap, upkeep, draws, cycle Forgotten Cave...

Well, if someone else casts Kamahl's Summons, I'm even more dead than I am right now, so I guess I pick that.

Maybe images would be better for that. Or it could be some combination of things. Isolating personal favorites would probably be a good way to improve the set reviews. I'm still toying with how to make them have meaningful, comprehensive content without making them too long and repetitive. I'll...
