STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.
At least we don't have to worry about Josh Lee Kwai spiking Vedalken Orrery anymore.

The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Thou shalt not have others of the same Legendary before me Thou shalt not frame images with the modern card face Thou shalt not change rules in vain Remember the Reserved List to keep it holy Honor thy Slivers and the symmetry of their abilities Thou shalt not kill mana burn Thou shalt not sacrifice depth for accessibility Thou shalt not steal combat damage from the stack Thou shalt tell a story through thy cards All must be one
sucks sour ass that muldrotha eats up yet another mythic slot. now with 3 versions to ensure she'll never be worth more than a dollar again.
altar, orrery, and ulamog are of course great choices.
i'm actually not a big fan of the alt art on the altar. it looks too much like he painted half of it and then just duplicated the other side in photoshop or whatever, the perspective feels wonky. then again, even as far back as homelands i really haven't liked much of his art. great world builder though.
The return of some of these artists is REALLY making me happy. These alt arts from people like Mark Tedin, Ian Miller, Pete Venters, Doug Schuler and Drew Tucker are just really hitting where I need it. If only Chris Rush was still alive.

First up, one of the many broken altars and one of the strongest graveyard-themed commanders out there.
And now, a long-awaited (but not really necessary) reprint and another leaked Eldrazi titan.

Incredibly unlikely, given how many rares and mythics are in this set. Look at how many chaff rares there were in the original Double Masters.
[EDIT: Just saw a full, large-size version of the Phyrexian Altar art... And recognized Phyrexian Dreadnought's face... That's amazing.]
