Just out of curiousity, what does Lark lose when rotation comes up? I`m not a Lark fan but my brother is and he keeps on harping about how Lark is dead after rotation. Like I said, just curious.
The loss of Body Double and Greater Gargadon are just crippling to the deck. GG made all the difference in this deck being Tier Two and being one of the best Tier One decks for the past several months. The interaction between GG and Sower of Temptation was just insanely good. Steal their best critter, then sac it to the Gargadon. This interaction is lost without GG, and the combo is totally lost without BD. The only consolation to Lark players is the fact that the card Reveillark is not going anywhere for another year.
GB Elves <-man I hate this deck, it has a 50/50 matchup against Tier 1/2 but loses to jank aggro most of the time. UB Faeries <-only reason it's good is because of all those people that's still playing 5CC. WB Tokens <-so boring, there's only 2 ways to play this deck. RB Blightning <-Autopilotting you to victory 0-2 drop.
???B Super Secret Tech <-dude, this thing is nuts! 90/10 against all matchups.
Seriously....this Friday, October 3. Shards of Alara joins the Standard pool and four sets leave Standard. Those sets are Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, Future Sight and Cold Snap.
Let's just bury this thing already. Last friday was the last FNM where lark could be played, so farewell.
The tragic truth of the matter, I'm sure a deck still running Reveliark will pop up. Reveliark combo is most definately dead though, which is unfortunate because it was gg fun.
Honestly this deck was my all time favorite deck in standard. But then i got the idea that i can play it in extended although it may not be as good 'Lark Combo will live on!

That really does not sound viable to me, heh. The important thing is, you have fun and win a bare minimum of one round.
possible, that statement was purely speculative on my part. I've spent all my time playing around with Astral Slide trying to make it competitive. ( if you have any input on this -- PM ME! )
it wouldn't be my first choice for a rev deck, bc of the high converted cost, the lack of evasion, and the meh effect (tho if you went infy all the tokens would be fun). you might wind up finding him in a deck that uses reveillark as a 2x or in the SB, but not in a straight up lark deck.
he helps weenie, mirrorweave, or exalted decks more than he helps control.

True i think we shouldn't bury this deck so soon and give up. Ok we dont have the combo anymore but that doesnt mean the deck is unplayable. Any thoughts about fumninator mage to destroy their mana since some 3 color decks will pop up?
attacking the opponet's mana is just horrible, try to stay more fairplay....

Yeah it isnt fair play and i personally hate it but we should reject the idea in my opinion.
the fact is: fulminator is a great target for llark, it's always useful! but like I said it's not fair play, for example against quick your opponet can loose just because you destroyed a pool/vivid land...plus we have better options, even i continue searching....

Lets not even discuss "Fair play" in a competitive forum. The idea is to win by any cost possible that doesn't violate rules of the game. Honestly though, if recurring Fulminator is permissive in the mana base its definately worth a shot. Blowing up Vivid Lands and Reflecting Pools is backbreaking, thats the idea.

just don't forget the fact that MRA doesn't run no basics lands.....
i found 308 creatures with force 2 or less in standard, that should give us enought target....i'll probably add some profane command in my build and maybe augury adept as a try

MRA? Is that Mono R aggro? Seriously though, most archetypes run plenty of non-basics, recurring Fulminator would be sweet.
guys, if you like the idea of recurring fulms, i'd go with 5c elementals. play lark as 2x or 3x MD, along w/ 1x horde of notions and 2 or 3x makeshift mannequin. you can't go infy, but the card advantage you can generate is pretty insane w/ drifters+mannequins (or +HoN or + Lark). you get to cheat by running incandescent soulstoke, run the 2 best charms, have game against fae w/ recurring threshers, etc. i haven't settled on a list yet, but it would be something like this:
lots.
Body Double
Greater gargadon
Rune snag (for those who use it)
Riftwing cloudstake (for those who use it)
aven riftwatcher (for those who use it)
Coldsteel heart (for those who use it)
etc
etc
Mainly the loss of BD and GG hurts the deck the most.
Courtesy is contagious. Go out and catch some.
<Sigh> My quest for intelligent life on the internet continues.
An important chunk of the SB rotates too, namely Crovax and Pact of Negation. Both Teferi and Teferi's Moat are gone, too. Pull from Eternity, which pops up every now and then in lists is also gone.

Reveillark is insane in extended. The only problem is trying to optimise the mana. Seriously, more testing req'd if you think it's not viable
