Heh, not as familiar with newer cards (especially the really bad ones, since no one uses them) so I hadn't seen that thing... It's like Mana Crypt and City of Brass had a baby and it inherited all the bad traits from both...

The lands thing doesn't seem crazy to me at all. I guess not just lands, but any quality mana producer, since ESG, Dark Rit, Sol, Ring, Grim Monolith, City of Traitors, Chrome Mox, even Thran Dynamo or the new Talismans are all valued to at least some extent... But that doesn't mean to not...

You mean Rhystic Deluge and Cowardice? I've never tried a deck with Cowardice before... Unnatural Selection might seem nicer since it costs 1 less, but Rhystic Deluge also does something when by itself... Tough call, but I'd go with Deluge...

More useful than Door to Nothingness! Except it probably isn't as fun for a dartboard...

Well, there are a lot of cards that are tempting to Sneak into play. The question is what will do the most for you. Obviously if you can get it out fast enough when it won't be blocked, Serra Avatar is the hardest hitting. Crater Hellion is nice for decimating the opponent's blockers or even...

I forget what some of the newer cards do... But this deck does seem to lack focus... I don't see ANY resistance here to disruptive strategies... My suggestion would be to cut a lot of stuff in order to make this a deck that has more durability in one form or another... Wall of Blossoms could...

Cool, so what are you using in it now or did you post it elsewhere and I just haven't come upon that thread? I think I'll try Rushing River in my deck...

Diplomatic Immunity isn't old...

I thought you couldn't imagine using a computer to optimize your decks... What do you use Magic Workstation for?

Tough to say... Pillage has possibly the coolest flavor text... But a lot of cards have cooler pictures... What exactly are we saying makes a card "ccoolest looking"?

No, I play casual Magic exclusively these days. I used to play 1.5 too. I am not really a Type I player at all, but I think I will become one...

Karakas and Unnatural Selection would give you an engine in which you can pay 1 and tap the Karakas to bounce a creature. Cowardice and Unnatural Selection gives you an engine in which you can pay 1 to bounce a creature. That seems better to me, even with Cowardice's exorbitant mana cost...

I think that VX nerve gas smells worse than anything... And for anyone who doesn't believe me, just try it...

Not sure if this should be in a strategy forum... But whatever works... The cards people tend to want the most are the broken ones... Something like Lion's Eye Diamond is broken, but harder to use, so not as sought after... Whereas something that players can use without having to think, like...

I've played against Cowardice/Rhystic Deluge before and it was not fun...

Phage+ Donate You must have been misinformed... I believe it was already stated on this thread. But all that combo will do is give your opponent a 4/4 body that will kill you if it hits you... A decidedly bad idea. If you want to Donate something to your opponent that will kill you, I guess...

That it is...

I used to be more up in the air about it, but now I do not doubt that Rancor is the very best creature enchantment ever, with Curiosity in second. Other good ones are Sleeper's Robe, Endless Scream, Flickering Ward, Spinal Graft... Usually local enchantments aren't so great though...

I thought that thing was Type II... Captain Caveman: You're just trying to tempt me to do the pirate thing. If I had more of them I would. I know I have a Cutpurse and a Footpad, but I might only have one of each and I don't even recall seeing Brigand. It would be a lot of fun though... Just...
