@JPOJohnson: I had some qualms about squeezing in Rhakee since he is not the most active, but I know he's a regular here albeit sporadic. I actually haven't been home myself, so I don't know if he sent me anything. I have his email address as well if Elfster doesn't work for you. Also, have you received yet? So far it sounds like almost everyone got their presents except for the presents associated to the delinquent known as me. I will send out belated Christmas presents and all will be well in the world again.
@PegasusBishop: Yes, letting me know that you received, so I don't go hounding your secret santa would be ideal. Sounds like the only person that needs hounding though is myself...
So from the looks of his profile, Rhakee has been around... Just not around here. I messaged him about whether he received/sent or not, so hopefully he gets back to us in the next day or so.
I might want to actually do something with this, and also use all the cards that fell out of my Horde of Notions deck after Primal Surge moved in. Of course this one won't be as broken (no easy infinites), but it would still have all the fun stuff used before.
I might consider Baloth Null as an alternative to Deadwood Treefolk (getting two right off the bat seems better). The pesky little on Eldrazi Displacer makes it kinda hard to include in my five-color deck though...
(And is anyone going to help Bur on that request?)
So... What are your thoughts about the changes in the format?
And most importantly... What do you think about the ban of Prophet? My playgroup was divided in two by that, since half thinks it was a great ban from the committee and other half thinks committee is full of brain-dead eels.

Well... that's one slot open in my 5-color deck now (and also my Rafiq of the Many deck, although it's actually not much of a problem there). We'll see what happens...
I think its a good change. Celestial Dawn wasn't exactly a huge problem, but I've had some bad games due to being locked out.
As for Prophet of Kruphix, the card was too perfect. It's in two colors that are good at defending it's creatures. In my experience, when it hit the field, it became the desirable clone target and led to a quick finish to any game.

Do you know what the designer has said about the card in question? He wanted to design an EDH staple that everyone who played those colours would want to play...
He succeeded in that, maybe bit too well...

On another note, seems like a booster pack of SOI got leaked... just mostly some normal stuff, got a "clue" to some new (and returning) mechanics... anything of interest?

I do have a table full of Totoro plushies though...

I hope everyone here had a pleasant (and safe) New Year and were not like me who had to travel ~110km in the middle of night to get home.
(Also, I'd really love it if someone here could give me a helping hand and give me suggestions about what to cut (and why) from my Ertai.)

I really haven't found anything that I want to play in this set, despite loving the design of this set.

I guess I have a slot opening up in my Slivers deck. I'll probably just replace it with something that gets printed new. (:

I didn't think it would be relevant but apparently it is.
Also RIP prophet. You really really won't be missed.

Prophet - Of course I had fun with her sometimes, but maybe too much... so I guess we're fine with it.
Hm... has Bur been putting the cards from the Secret Santa to good use?
