MTG Salvation

The more I play with Eidolon of the Great Revel, the more the inclusion of a miser's Keldon Megaliths makes sense, but to use it, we need a way to keep our hands empty. I've been looking at playing around with either Knollspine Invocation or Sparkspitter to get more value out of drawn cards without taking damage from Eidolon.

Thoughts?

Meh, I think it's sensationalism. He's pushing the deck too hard. He even compares it to sneak show and says it's BETTER. ZOMG, this guys asleep or what? Just by looking at the lists, I can immediately see many problems.

The deck is too clunky, it simply needs TOO MANY combo components. Conflux + Proggy + Show and Tell + Dream Halls + Temporal is 19, which is 3 more than Sneak Show. Also, the components are not interchangeable like Conflux + Show and Tell= Dud. Dream Halls + Proggy= Mega Slow. Too get it right, he has to run a full set on Intuition which is a terrible card.

In Sneak Show, I've already cut Intuition because it's very slow and forces you to drop your double lands early instead of basics. Also, since Griselbrand-Emrakul are interchangeable, it's very easy to assemble the combo. Saying that this deck is better than Sneak Show is a joke, let alone the best combo deck in legacy. The guy is trying to sell temporal for CFB which is otherwise a cheap, little played mythic.

Dream halls was bad and is still bad. How many MD counters does it run? 4 Force + 2 Daze, that's it because it needs slots for tutors and temporal. In Sneak Show, I can play 10 counters, 10 cantrips because the combo is so compact and easy to assemble. When talking about manabase vulnerability, sneak plays 4 basics, so you can drop basics the first few turn and only the Volc/double land on your combo turn to dodge wasteland. You only need red for Sneak so there is no need to drop your volcs early.

Caleb sounds totally nooby in this article.

This error has been brought up four times before, but never properly addressed.
Mwsplay module crashes consistently approx. three minutes into the game in solo mode or when connected to an opponent. Reinstalling does not fix this error, even if every trace of the program is wiped from the computer.

I am using windows 7, 64 bit, and it seems at least some of the others with this problem are too. The problem began, for me, on October 1st. I did not install anything that day and I did not download anything that day.

At 0:02:45-0:03:01, the program stops working. A box pops up, saying that windows is checking for a solution. Then:

Magic Workstation Play Module has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

More interestingly, if I click Stop when it is checking for a solution, it displays the generic error message and also:

Application Error
Exception TBitmapImage in module mwsplay.exe at 00142FED.

The listed exception is not always the same, the last one i saw was TGIFPainter. However, the location of the error never changes.

I have had this error consistently for over three weeks now, and through different routers. Please help me! Or I'll probably die of magic withdrawal...
