I've thought about Doomwake Giant. I'm just worried its too expensive for our purposes. Herald of Torment seems bad for a deck that wants to deny an opponent resources. I don't know if there are enough resources in Standard for a fully "tax" deck though.
Is it just me or does Outlast seem bad? Like, really really bad. I have to tap the creature on my turn, so I can't use it to attack, I can't use it to block and I can't use it as a trick. Given we've only seen a few Outlast creatures so far, but as it is I don't see how it could possibly be good.
Ok, so I was trying to log into MTG Salvation after being away for a very long time, and its apparently now been merged with Curse. Ok, I have a Curse account, I'll just log in with it. Then it asks me to change my nickname, but it won't let me use my nickname because apparently its being used? But its a name of my own design that no one else would be using. I get annoyed and type something inappropriate into the change nickname box not thinking it would accept that, but apparently it does, and now I can't find any way of changing it.
Also, this account has none of the post count or any subscribed threads my old account has.
Questions about some cards:
What do you think of the other two Rusalkas in your colors, Martyred Rusalka and Scorched Rusalka? I think their sac abilities might be more significant than Starved's ability. Scorched Rusalka could potentially win the game with lots of Sand tokens and Red Mana.
I generally have terrible luck with Fat Packs and get 0, though I was pleasantly surprised with my Dragon's Maze Fat Pack, which yielded 3, Progenitor Mimic, Ral Zarek, and Deadbridge Chant.
Yay, what muddy, indistinct art. Why did we pick this art concept again when we had the option of the one with the pumpkins and the lich again? Not a single vote has gone my way in this YMTC.

Speak for yourself. It's one of my favorite mechanics and I thought I'd never see it in print again. I went berserk when the announcement came out.

Also Garruk Wildspeaker. Helps you ramp and then Overruns for the game.
Mwonvuli Acid-Moss can fetch a non-basic Forest and destroys a troublesome land on the opponent's field for much cheaper than Reap and Sow.
Similarly Yavimaya Dyrad fetches a non-basic Forest with a 2/1 Forestwalk body attached.
Eternal Dragon can fetch a non-basic Plains and becomes a flying beater late game.
