Maybe we should rename it NON-LAND card count for you... my intent was to count non-lands... mana producing lands are not something I'd count when counting non-lands, while Maze of Ith would be in my non-land count...
You can call it whatever you want--as long as it's couting what it says it's counting. :p

I'm going with a simple utility card...

(Our CC is off.... when oversoul corrected I don't think he did it right... Are we counting all lands as cards or just some? There are 33 non land cards and the 2 lands) And I have 1 more card I want to add... but this is a chaos 5C with not much seemingly going on...

For deck 7, are we going dual color again? I think it'd be interesting to do a highlander tribal deck.... maybe B/W Clerics?

Yeah, B/W will still be an option to vote on. I personally want to see an Artifact-Based deck next. :D

I've counted that list four times now and I'm getting only 35 non-land cards instead 36. Plus, we should start focusing on mana (Like TomB has done these last two days).

Quick question for all: I'd like to retract my submission of Last Stand and replace it with Unnatural Selection. I just feel that Last Stand won't be that effective, since I imagine we won't be using a whole of basic lands. Plus, Unnatural Selection would make Sliver Overlord much more powerful.

Maybe someone else forget to quote the most current decklist when they added their card?

Fine by me.

It got off when Oversoul "fixed" it, but he added a card as well.... It's different interpretations of card count.... I am in the group who views card count as "non-land" count... where he is in the camp of any card counts....

When building my own decks, I would even count mox diamond as a land, but that's just me...

No one answered my other question. Anyone object to me switching my submission?

I don't consider it to be an "interpretation." Lands are cards both in reality and in the rules of Magic.

If you need a shorthand version of "non-land count" then perhaps "spell count"?

That was prolly my fault...sorry Oversoul...Like BigBlue, when deckbuilding I usually divide the cards into mana producing cards and non-mana producing cards for the purposes of determining land/spell ratios...I would count Sol Ring, for example, just like a land.

I usually count the mana producing creatures too, as half a land's worth of mana production (i.e. 2 BoP's = 1 land), though I think I'd recommend against doing that in THIS deck as they may be needed as chump blockers...;)
