"Unique hand". It doesn't say human and it doesn't say living. If you don't mind stretching the bounds of good taste, you could come up with plenty of tokens for this.
I've been using a wallpaper I made from Vincent Proce's original Zendikar basic lands for a while. When the new land art got spoiled, I made an updated version from Noah Bradley's basics. I like them both, so I thought I would share.
I'm quite sure if this is the proper place to post this kind of thing. If there is a more appropriate forum, let me know.
"This is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I'm quite dizzy with anticipation . . . Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now, isn't there? And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming toward me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like . . . ow . . . ound . . . round . . . ground! That's it! That's a good name- ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? Hello Ground!"
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the Sprouting Phytohydra as it fell was Oh no, not again.
Can you point out somewhere that says this? I read the link you provided, but it says that Wizards disapproves and that they have taken action against counterfeiters, and that counterfeit cards aren't allowed in sanctioned play, but I see no mention of the law.
For big multiplayer games, I like Mystic Remora. It isn't as strong as Rhystic Study most of the time, but for one mana, you can usually get a couple cards out of it. I typically don't bother with the cumulative upkeep for more than a turn or two.
In the same vein, Elephant Grass is worth putting on the board for a turn or two and then dumping.
Edit: For Mystic Remora, it's worth noting that the Oracle and Masters Edition version of the card are stronger than the Ice Age printing, adding to the hiddenness of this gem. The Ice Age card specifies "Whenever target opponent", but the updated version says "Whenever an opponent". I sort of wonder why they decided to change it in that way when there are cards like The Rack and Black Vise which seem to set the opposite precedent.
Burn with lands would beat the mirror, yes. But it wouldn't have many turn 1 kills and thus lose to a lot of other decks. It would be a metacall, but if you play landless burn you could have a sideboard full of lands.
You have lands, but you still have the ability to cast things for life. So when your opponent dumps a good deal of life into his turn one kill, you respond by burning the rest of his life. That's your turn one kill.
Perhaps I should start playing a Divine Intervention deck as my exclusive casual deck. If every game ends in a draw, no one wins, no one loses and everyone's equally happy/unhappy.
See if you can make them strong enough that the game ends in a draw before anyone has a chance to do anything with their less tuned decks. Then you'll know whether people are complaining because they are losing, or because they just didn't get to play a satisfying game.
If you are chump blocking a big double strike lifelink creature, regeneration removes your creature from combat after first strike damage, keeping your opponent from gaining some life.
"Myr Myr, Off The Wall" and "The Myr Has Two Faces". It sounds something like Mirror.
And this article (http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ld/107)
is titled "Myr Mortals". So it sounds something like Mere.

Fog, Darkness, Holy Day was the only non-creature result.
Among non-vanilla creatures, I caught:
Scryb Sprites, Flying Men, Suntail Hawk, Lantern Kami, Aven Skirmisher, Zephyr Sprite
Wall of Ice, Glacial Wall, Wall of Granite
Willow Faerie, Armored Pegasus, Talas Scout
Snapping Drake, Jagwasp Swarm, Assault Griffin, Talas Air Ship, Moon Heron
Moon Sprite, Dakmor Bat, Royal Falcon, Sea Eagle, Misshapen Fiend
And if you match just cmc (for non-creatures), it also finds:
Ice Storm, Stone Rain, Rain of Tears, Winter's Grasp
So, not many perfect matches.

No, Changeling is a keyword ability that Mistform Ultimus doesn't have. Eldrazi is a creature type that Mistform Ultimus does have.
Q: Which of these creatures are Eldrazi?
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Mistform Ultimus
A: All of them
Q: Which was printed first?
A: Mistform Ultimus
This is how someone could conclude that Mistform Ultimus was the first Eldrazi printed.
Here's another option.

Well, that's actually an interesting thought. Try building some super competitive decks that use Divine Intervention, a gigantic Earthquake, or an infinite loop like Worldgorger Dragon / Animate Dead or three Oblivion Rings to DRAW the game.

I think there are some corner cases. Unless I'm mistaken Wave of Reckoning would kill an opposing True-Name Nemesis, but not an opposing Progenitus.
