I got a set of KMC Matte blues and thought they were super awesome and shuffling them felt great. So I got a set of KMC glossy oranges and they split like crazy >___>
The land doesn't use the stack, but Ob's ability does. So you play the land, and the ability triggers. With the ability on the stack your opponent Bolts and kills Ob.
No, it's not. It's illegal to misrepresent the board, or to willfully ignore mandatory actions, which is what Gindy did. However it's not your responsibility to tell your opponent what the game state is, unless he asks.
For a ramp deck it needs major work, right now it looks pretty bad. I can maybe understand 4 Ultimatum but 4 Lavalanche on top of that seems really too much. I'd run more Garruk if you have them, more Pyroclasm or Earthquake, Rampant Growth over Khalni Heart Expedition, no Duress, and Mind Shatter in the board.
Bump Visionary up to 4 or cut it completely, and cut the Overlord and Birds. I'd try to increase the number of Borderland Rangers and playing 22 lands is just terrible; even most aggro decks play more than that. I understand that you have accelerators but 22 lands is going to seriously reduce the chances of hitting your third land drop without Rampant Growth, I'd run at least 24.
Having all of those 1-ofs is bad deck design and not conducive to consistency. If you're doing well in your meta, honestly it seems like your meta isn't that good.
Interesting that the Jund decks are almost exactly alike... I guess they were from the same playgroup? Resounding Thunder is sick and I'm interested in the fact that they play 4 Rootbound Crag and 3 Dragonskull Summit instead of the other way around.
You really need more land, and you should cut some junk. I'd cut the 4 Sage Owls and maybe go +3 land and +1 Day of Judgment. You REALLY need more than 22; I wouldn't even run an aggro deck with only 22. For control decks, especially playing 10 finishers, 25 is the real minimum and I might go up to 26. Sanctum Plowbeast helps slightly but you'll really be stuck a lot on land light hands with only 3-4 lands in play when you need to be hitting all of your land drops.
Normally I only play T2 and limited, but there is a local Legacy tournament occurring soon and my friend says he can build me any deck I want. I don't have that much experience with Legacy (I know what each deck can do if you name it, and generally know the combos/engines, but I can't rattle off decklists or sideboards). Also, for some reason the tournament is on the same day as a local PTQ (which I am not going to) and I'm not sure if that means the tournament goers will be more hardcore or less hardcore.
If somebody could suggest a deck to me, that'd be great. I'm open to almost anything; combo, aggro, control. Aggro-control. No I am not a random scrub who you should hand off mono red burn to and hope for the best. Yes I know how to play control.

I'd try this:
4 Sprouting Thrinax
4 Borderland Ranger
2 Siege-Gang Commander
4 Terminate
3 Harrow
4 Rampant Growth
2 Lavalanche
3 Violent Ultimatum
2 Maelstrom Pulse
3 Pyroclasm
1 Earthquake
4 Verdant Catacombs (Play Terramorphic if you don't have 4, but after turn 1 you want your lands to CITP untapped)
2 Kazandu Refuge
2 Swamp
7 Forest
5 Mountain
Thanks.
Also.... just out of interest, is anyone interested in my extremely obscure KOREAN e-SPORTS STARCRAFT PRO-PLAYER MAFIA MINI?
Didn't read the post RIGHT above yours?
