Yes, my avatar is pretty sweet. I was just thinking about needing a new thread, however haven't thought of any names (I'm not sure we can top this one... ooh! The [Izzet]: we get both Morphling and Torchling!).
As for new decks dominating the metagame... I'd have to say Dralnu du Louvre, as Planar Chaos has gotten a lot of people looking at it via Damnation and such. Similarly Mono Black Control will come back, whether or not it's good is beyond me. Dragonstorm is becoming weaker (yet still great), and Martyrtron for that matter, as Extirpate says "F' off" to the Martyr of Sands.
Combo decks are again getting back to there "hey I'm here, but nobody cares so much" state.
This Friday we are having a Multiplayer round (hopefully this time it actually is Standard). I was thinking of using Pickles to lock everyone down, but that isn't the nicest thing to do, and (more importantly) I don't want every single person at the table to be gunning for me. So I'll probably run Dragonstorm with Feldon's Cane again. I'll give Pickles to a friend of mine; to see how it works while surviving my playgroup's ravenous onslaught (which hasn't been standard legal in over three years now, wow).
Edit: I noticed you are just "Everlaster" now, Everlaster. At first I just skimmed by in the thread, seeing it and thinking to myself Everlaster is on... as we just called you Everlaster, and then took a double-take to see the x was gone. Any reason for this?
Again: The [Izzet]: We get Morphling and Torchling!

Alright, I will join. I would like to sign up to apprentice under Rocker05. I vow to post as often as possible.
My name was changed because I felt some people may have thought that the "X" was supposed to be stereotypical, or uncreative due to an original Everlaster somewhere. It wasn't, but I changed it to avoid any possible conflicts :D.
Ah, yes. I missed that spoiler part the first time through.

Schools started up again, and as you can see, my posting has been quite limited. So how's it going around these here parts? PC has me excited (even though I probably won't make it to the prerelease). My favourite cards so far are:
White:
Calciderm (CalciBoom, anyone? :P)
Mana Tithe
Blue:
Braids, Conjurer Adept (this is gonna be fun w/ Teferi)
Chronozoa (2 for the price of 1? and then 4 for 2? w00t!)
LOL @ Pongify
Red:
Fatal Frenzy (about time they fixed up Berserk)
Torchling (nicely done...much better than the one we had from "orb" findings)
Boom//Bust (Armageddon in red = gg)
Reckless Wurm (mmm...Red Arrogant Wurm)
Simian Spirit Guide (OMG is dragonstorm gonna love this)
Green:
Essence Warden (nice throwback in the right colour)
Gaea's Anthem (at least I no longer have to rely on Elvish Champion in my elf deck)
Groundbreaker (mmm...green Ball Lightning)
Harmonize (wow...green finally gets good card draw)
@Ravus: I think the title for the new thread should be either Char/Psi Blast or Torchling/Morphling. Too many cards would be bad.
[The Izzet]: We get Torchling AND Morphling?! Muhahaha
Green:
Essence Warden (nice throwback in the right colour)
Gaea's Anthem (at least I no longer have to rely on Elvish Champion in my elf deck)
Groundbreaker (mmm...green Ball Lightning)
Harmonize (wow...green finally gets good card draw)
I think Wizards is using this 'planeshifting' opportunity to reward some of the colors that got the shaft in the past. Green (pre-Odyssey) and White (since Armageddon, StP left) have definately had a lower power level, and even black (since Torment) has been suffering. No longer! Unfortunately, it appears to be largely at the expense of Blue. This is probably the right thing to do, since Blue has always been inherently overpowered. But I, for one, really enjoy the current crop of blue cards in standard. Long live Remand!
Between the two, I think B is the clearly better one. People are psyched about morphling right now. Then again, both of A's are in standard. Still, I think B is better, but I can't shake the feeling that there's a way to include all three pairs of cards...
Well this is the second time I'm typing this because my cat just deleted it I vote B if friends can vote. And no it's not simply because I can't afford char and Torchling is awesome (His head is on fire :o) UR Vore is my new favorite deck and I hope to get Suspend-vore and Torchling at the prerelease, wish me luck
Well I will go with opcion A I like it more!!! Plus how many of you guys are goint to the Pre???....... thinking....... ohhhh and how are you today guys??

I did not attend the prerelease. I've never gone to one. Are they fun? There are no large magic events in my area except the state tournament. And for that I drive across the border and play in a state I don't live in. So anything else I have to drive at least 4 hours for. And currently, I'm more concerned with attending a PTQ than a prerelease. Also, I haven't bought a pack of cards in years. I just buy the cards I need on ebay.
On an entirely unrelated note, here is the deck I'm currently playing at FNM. I have no money for duals unfortunately, and in fact really have no means of getting any chase rares in Standard. I share a collection of cards with a friend of mine and he owns 4x Serra Avenger, 3x Lightning Angel, and 4x Wrath of God for his extended/legacy deck, so I decided build a deck around them in standard. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Torchling is the shiz
[The Izzet] We get Fork AND Twincast, Psionic Blast AND Char, Morphling AND Torchling
If I have to vote for one, I'll vote for PsiBlast and Char.

Edit: Why isn't anyone online! It's friday night, and I finally get to use the internet! And there's no-one on!
My vote goes for B
