I'm new to this section of the forums, so I'm not sure that this kind of topic belongs in this forum or not. I don't have a deck made (yet), but it's because I'm not familiar with all the best cards able to animate lands, or what the animated-land-deck staples are, but if I NEED deck tags on, I can fix it.
My deck idea is simple: power green animated lands. Green is the supposed color, but if there are other colors that could help, I'll be willing to add it. I'll include Earth Surge(s), of course. Even though they will rule the deck out of standard, I'm going to add Echoing Courages, because +2/+2 to all creatures won't be too bad, I guess. If I can get my hands on a few, I want my main land-animater to be Nature's Revolt. If something stops the land beat-down during the only Natural Affinity is in effect, the whole deck would be stopped if I didn't have another Affinity in-hand or coming up soon. I don't want to include a Svogthos because, even if I could get black, it wouldn't have very many creatures from the graveyard to get p/t for. I also considered Ambush Commander, but I'm not sure if that'd be cost efficiant or effective with all the creature destruction out there.
That's about it. I don't consider myself a very good Magic deck-builder, so if anyone can help me get a good/better start to this deck, that'd be great. Thanks!
But... some problems came up saving it on this old computer, my better computer will be available in a few days, I hope. Until then, I can't even save it. Darn you, Windows 98!
Screw all this, if Wizards is this upset ABOUT A SET THEY ALREADY HAVE AN OFFICIAL SPOILER ABOUT, we should all boycott and not buy Wizards products. I'm not going to sift through the thread, but has it been mentioned yet that this is about Guildpact being spoilered from foreign sources or while a pre-release was happening? It even mentions Guildpact in specific.
Ok, thanks Topher. I would like a custom banner with (from left to right) Quiet Purity, Silent-Chant Zubera, Silent Arbiter, and Peace and Quiet, please. Make the text "Shh..." (without quotation marks) in any font, color, stlye, or whatever that you feel in appropriate. Thanks a bunch!
Am I able to change my order if I ordered it BEFORE the <100 posts rule came out? You said you made the rule so noobs wouldn't throw away sigs in a few days, but if I want a different sig NOW, could I get it changed (as long as it hasn't been started, it just got put into the big Q)? Is it possible?
About the mechanic, great idea, maybe hard to incorporate into a deck unless you made a deck focused on tapping their mana and/or keeping it tapped, then playing the good cards for cheap because they're tapped out.
Interesting, but I'm not sure if they're balanced at all. Sounds like someone could throw any one into a mono deck, but it's not like it's an insane upgrade to any one color, so I imagine (almost) all of them are balanced. Of course, I'm not the best person to tell you :tongue3:.
I really enjoy the overall idea of these cards, especially in 5-colored deck. They seem splashable, but not enough to be considered as playable as colorless. You know, though, they could be easily put into a sideboard and played with every other color except the one that it is, destroying an opponent's deck... Perhaps make it so it's only YOU that gets the negatives?
Excellent idea, I wish I could punish the opponent just for playing creatures! Some of those DO seem a little overpowered, but just a text change can fix it. For the Radkos Ascendant, maybe do 1 damage to that creature's control.
My friend plays my mono white flying mirrodin-block deck, my other friend plays a good mono older deck, like fallen-empires-old. My friend Soul Foundrys a Luminous Angel, my other friend has two (alpha) Crusades out and a Divine Sacrament with threshold. Over 20 5/5 flying tokens!

Nah, posting the change
@polyjak: I'm getting mine changed, if you want to update the small Q
