Feb 3, 2014ProficientNomad posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card will forever be Woolly Thoctar. The first competitive deck I ever played was Naya Midrange in Shards/Zendikar standard, and sticking one of those guys turn 3 was a very good sign for the game to come, plus in my opinion he's the best vanilla creature ever printed. Slap a Behemoth Sledge on him and it was hard to lose.Posted in: Announcements

I'm actually being serious. If you look at the collector's number on the Arid Mesa and the Steam Vents there are 45 cards in that collection. 10 Fetchlands (foil and nonfoil), 20 shocklands (foil and non foil) and 10 of the new full art duals in both foil and non foil. I know I'm still 5 lands short but unless I missed some huge announcement about other cards being a part of this I'm worried that I'm right.
I tried both Blade and Ensoul in my deck (not at the same time) for awhile, and I found that I always wished Blade was another threat and Ensoul leaves us really vulnerable to getting 2 for 1'd, especially because we cant use it on a Champion.
Arcbound Ravager is the MVP in GBx Matchups. Abzan is a little bit easier to beat than Jund, Kolaghan's Command is usually a pretty good 2 for 1 for them, and we can deal with Lingering Souls tokens with plating instant equip, etc. In games where you can play a Ravager into a crowded board is usually a win.

Obviously the main game-plan is to make infinite mana and mill everyone out with Oona. Any specific suggestions?
I think you're too hung up on the wording. Let's remember the flavor text from All is Dust: "The emergence of the Eldrazi isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as you've already lived a fulfilling and complete life without regrets." Presumably, most, if not all of the inhabitants of the plane have perished already. The only left to fight the Eldrazi IS Zendikar.
I don't think this argument really holds. The people who you talk about, WotC's "longest" customers, probably bought these cards when they were relatively inexpensive. No one is buying goyfs at $200 as an investment. That's just foolish. The only people that it really hurts are people who have recently bought into the format.
With Daybreak Coronet in the set I think that it's definitely possible that another hard to get staple of Bogles might pop up. My real question though is do people think Leyline of Sanctity will get a reprint? I want to get into the deck but really can't drop 3 figures on a playset.
Honestly I came right to this thread after seeing the art because I love it so much and want to try and put together the rest of the deck so I can pick them up when MM2 drops. Brimaz is a personal favorite character of mine.
Just because they can acknowledge a mistake doesn't mean that they're immune from making them. Cryptic Command and cards that have similar effects no longer fit into the model that Wizards has for how they create a Standard environment.
