well that last one does in a way. Aggro and combo decks have their own processes that replace some of the above.
1. Aggro decks for the most part ignore card advantage, stack interactions, and the late game. Combo and control tend to ignore combat and early momentum while focusing a lot on the stack.
2. Aggro and combo decks should not struggle in this department either.
3. Is actually a lot easier for aggro/combo than it is for control, but is valid for all 3.(similar to 2)
4. For example an aggro deck won't technically see more cards than any other deck. However aggro decks will typically see more gas cards per capita than a control deck. control decks have higher land counters, slower cards, and incorrect answers. So the aggro deck by being aggressive and ending the game fast. Combo is quite similar in this way.

The majority of the big names. Washinton, Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison could all be described as deist. The only typical protestant of the big names is the much less know john jay who wanted to keep Catholics from holding office because he viewed them as the enemy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism#Deism_in_the_United_States

Liberals aren't trying to change anyone. Calling SJWs liberal is a joke. Lets just call insanity what it is here and not attach incorrect political agendas to each one. It detracts away from the work many of us are trying to do in society. Also the conservatives aren't trying to work around anything. They take the let them die approach.
The SJWs are just a circle jerk group dedicated to feminism and making themselves feel better about their bodies by posting incorrect memes depicting themselves as curvy instead of apple shaped. I will admit I am an overweight male, but I am not making an excuses and not ashamed of that fact in such a way that I try to shape my own reality.
You are equating SJWs with those of us who fight for the equality of all men, women, and children despite race, gender, religion(or lack thereof), etc. SJWs are just feminazis who are anti-man, anti-white, and anti-telling someone the truth about their weight issues.
The problem is the value density of this set is much lower than the price they set. The boxes are like $260(usd) after tax and the average value of cards is going to be somewhere in the $220 range. They should have kept the same price point as the last MM and honestly most people(i would) would be happy.
Bingo. (to me not attempting to be mean or anything)Abrahamic religions are so full of logical fallacies and holes that it is impossible to believe them as being true and have any sort of an open mind. Its all gods plan and god loves us yet we suffer and constantly pray for things.(very frivolous things)If I was god and someone prayed to me for something I would smite that ******** because he is questioning the divine plan I have had for ******* centuries because for whatever reason I only care about joe somebody if he is going to my church and spends time on his knees for me instead of actually living. God is all knowing and has a plan all figured out yet you wear seatbelts and look both ways before crossing the road? If you where truly faithful you would jump into a woodchipper and if it was gods plan you would live.
If god does exist and isn't some intangible thing like mother nature it doesn't care about us in the least. It would be like us looking at a microbial mat saying a protozoa is going to hell for eating a bacteria. I think Einstein says it best This type of belief in god is known as deism and most of the "founding fathers" of the united states were deist.
I haven't been around the format much lately, but I have used anticipate in standard quite a bit. From my experience it is a great card, but is kinda slow against faster matchups. It would be great against twin to find hate cards in games 2 and 3, but will take up valuable turns early against junk. For this reason I would max out at two in the main deck and maybe run 1 in the board if you have an open slot.
Again this is an old habit from playing against things like extirpate that can easily shut down decks that use one threat. I don't know the current card pool well enough(been on hiatus for a long time and I am just starting to catch back up) to know if it actually matters now. The random dragon is something I have seen a lot of decks doing. I kinda like it for the two cards I have in the list that it matters to since often times your threats will be stranded in your hand until you want to/can play them.(also the synergy with the dragon land is a really good way to potentially add an additional threat to your deck while not taking up any room) I really like the single Ugin because it is an additional(and repeatable) board clear that can deal with enchantments that slip through the cracks. I am really not a fan of ashiok, but included in the board because it should good in the control mirror. It will probably be cut unless I feel I need something else to finish in control mirrors if they are prevalent.
I am not going to run one real way to win the game. One thoughtseize or counterspell and you would essentially lose the game. I like to take up as little room as possible for cards that aren't answers, but it isn't worth the risk of just losing to one card IMO.
With the amount of removal we run it should about be the same percentage of getting removal as running hard copies of said removal. I haven't ran the numbers on how it actually effects draws(just yet) but in the end I figure it will be close enough, and it has other uses.(potentially sifting out late game cards early on, edging out the chances of mana screw/flood) All of that being said if I feel like I want a bit more early removal Anticipate isn't even currently at the top of my list to replace. Still needs more testing IMO, but the fact that the 30 or so list I have looked on from tournaments and MTGO have all ran 4 of them gives me the impression that it is pretty good. I loved cards like ponder years ago. Jace's Ingenuity is one of my favorite cards right now and has been since it was first printed(although I really wanted something better at the time lol) but I am not really sure how much I need it. If it is ran in the list I looked at it is a two of without Dragonlord's Prerogative being ran. In my testing if I run out of gas often I will probably cut something for one. I chose this way because most of the more recent list cut the pair for a single prerogative which I am not really sure about as a card. 6 mana was quite a lot in the past, but this meta seems much slower than when I played so I am going to give it a try.
Thanks for the reply.
WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE INVADED IRAQ.
We had zero justification to actually go into Iraq. Hussain was a bastard(one that the CIA help put into power by forcing a coup of a democratically elected president) but Iraq was pretty stable. The cost in money and human lives was immense not to mention the damage to some of our diplomatic relations around the world. We all now know that the instability we caused led to ISIS coming to power which again our fault and completely unnecessary.
The NSA
Most of us on here will probably agree the NSA is out of control not only prying into our lives and into our civil liberties, but is costing our country an insane amount of money for almost no benefit. There is some amount of power they should probably have, but when they are building massive data centers to collect information on all US citizens it is beyond the scope of itself which the patriot act enabled.
The Economy
We have still yet to recover from the damage done when from the wars, the popping of the housing bubble, and the default of some of the largest banks because of predatory loans. US conservative monetary policies(typically know as trick-down economics or Reaganomics) which he touted have led to the largest disparity in wealth distribution since the great depression.
Other Stuff
Education policies that he had some hand in implementing were a joke and further widened the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us. I can't think of anything else atm but left this section vague so I could add more later.
TL;DR
While the president isn't all powerful like many of Obama's critics seem to thing because the president obviously doesn't control law making everything that Bush stepped in turned to crap and overall we are much worse off now than we were prior to his tenure. Every president has plenty of opportunity to lead our country into a more modern and intelligent direction based off of science and data. Some choose to do very little, but bush chose to destroy much of the work we had done not only in our country but also in the world.
First off what are the best and worst matchups? Are any of them 40/60 or worse? I have only done very minimal testing and played mostly against RW/R aggro which I knew was going to be pretty hard. Is there any reason to run fetch lands other than polluted delta? Most list I saw ran 6 fetch lands, but I don't see why unless they are needed as extra fodder for delve.
Here is my current very raw list. I don't know enough about the meta to tune things quite right so I sorta mixed and matched the best cards.
1 Pearl Lake Ancient
1 Silumgar, the Drifting Death
1 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
[ 31 spells]
4 Anticipate
4 Dig Through Time
4 Dissolve
3 Hero's Downfall
3 Bile Blight
2 Crux of Fate
2 Perilous Vault
2 Disdainful Stroke
2 Ultimate Price
1 Dragonlord's Prerogative
1 Negate
1 Silence the Believers
1 Silumgar's Command
1 Silumgar's Scorn
4 Dismal Backwater
4 Temple of Deceit
4 Polluted Delta
4 Island
4 Swamp
2 Radiant Fountain
1 Bloodstained Mire
1 Flooded Strand
1 Haven of the Spirit Dragon
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
3 Pharika's Cure
2 Drown in Sorrow
2 Thoughtseize
1 Disdainful Stroke
1 Feast of Dreams
1 Murderous Cut
1 Negate
1 Nullify
1 Silence the Believers
1 Ultimate Price
1 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
I did have 2 jace's ingenuity but I cut them to save space and replaced them with one Dragonlord's Prerogative to save space. Still tinkering with the win cons nothing really takes the top spot for me so I am going with one of each.(played against extirpate too much in the past lol so I got into this habit) The sideboard has a few silver bullets but is mostly junk that I wanted to run but couldn't or cards to diversify my answers in against certain matchups that I thought looked potentially difficult.
Ban the card draw it is totally the issue......... I mean delver is the namesake of the deck for a goddamn reason. Like mental misstep treasure cruise is only super powerful because you can pair it with hyper-efficient creatures. Cards like these may be good in control or combo decks, but they are no where near broken in such decks. WOTC is so afraid to ban creatures to weaken decks that they go way out of their way to ban cards that are no where near overpowered. And here I was going to get back into MtG after a nearly two year hiatus......Same BS another year it seems.
The issue with Pascal's wager is which god do I submit too? If I say ok christian god blah blah blah I may piss of Zeus if he is the real god. I mean the history of our species we have like 4000 gods. if i pray to the wrong one then I might just piss off the real one if it did in fact exist.
