Mergatroid_Jones: card seems fun. seems like it would a fun card in most limited sets. Solid card.
VolrathTheRisen: I love the lore and feel of the card. It fits in the theme well while pushing a tad.
JamBlock: The bison herd had me reading it a few time but then i realized the brilliance in the flavor.
Subject16: I love this crad. I would gladly play it but pheonixs are a middle eastern and then european mythos creature so it doesnt fit the theme as much.
mirrislegend: I love this take on the Iroquois god of thunder. Solid card simple but effective.
Cardz5000: The bronco is super cool, i love the tribal effect that causes a stampede. However Horses are not native to north america. I will give this one a bit more of a pass on the lore as the more recent North american history is heavily involving horses.
PanchoPonceN: I like this but I do feel this is a tad broken as its ceiling is so high.

Individually spoilertagged judgments...
[spoiler=Quebec’s Fort Knox]Ulka - Syrup Maker
Is this... is this an MtG-based reference to Canada's weird command economy on maple syrup?
Even if that reference is unintentional, I love it! But I'm still not convinced that "GGG: 2 life & draw" is safe to unleash upon the non-Canuck population.
I had thought about putting a spigot counter on the forest when tapping and making the tree tapper only able to put the spigot on a tree with out one to keep it more manageable but it seemed cluttered. but I'm glad you like it.

How do you ever break the symmetry on bottomless pit while piloting control? That doesnt make sense to me offhand.
Depends on the deck but i know my group has used land tax and rhystic study in non monoblack versions. in the Monoback version I know we have normally just wanted to use it to put fatties into the bin to reanimate and then keep their hand size down to help reduce options.

Story time: So a few weeks ago a Kid brought in a maze's end deck to our thursday night modern. We are fairly competitive at that event and the kid( i would guess age around 10) wasn't doing to great. After we played I took a look at his deck with him and gave him a few ideas. Sicne then He has come back and we worked on what to build the deck into. This is the resulting deck.
Since then I have been playing it a lot of MTGO and have noticed I am able to get my win around turn 5 or 6 which while against blitzing decks is rough to beat it can be done. I have been able to pull off the combo on turn 4 once but I've been beating fairly tiered decks such as spirits, scapeshift, mardu.
