Were you all so unified that it needed to be banned that.ypu didn't even have to discuss it? You all just silently agreed to take it behind the woodshed?

This gave me a real good chuckle. That said, I don't know why they would waste time discussing a legend that people have been playing for less than a month. I imagine the real discussion for Leovold would come in 6-12 months once they can get an idea if people are playing him oppressively, frequently, and all over. If he isn't, just like Narset, Zur, Prossh, etc., he will be safe.

RivenVII, it sounds suspiciously like you've been paying attention to how we do things and put some thought into correlating the data you've gathered into a reasoned response. Based on my observations, it seems like you might not be internetting correctly. Commonly-accepted practice is to react emotionally on a dearth of information and lack of understanding process, write a manifesto on how we hate <your group>, and launch into thinly-veiled personal attacks. Not once did you question my parentage or intellect. You have made my job more difficult by ensuring that I now have to actually pay attention to what you say, since it appears that you can string together quite coherent thoughts.

If only we could have people like Sheldon stop the same sort of behaviour we might get somewhere!

plan for cheerios is as follows. Do not deter and you will not lose to this deck ever. This is also a fact and can not debated.
Game 1:
1. Counter target spell ( sram or puresteel)
2. If we fail at this mission(step 1), hope to land a chalice.
3. If we happen to go ornithopter(0for2) with the first 2 wishes, try to repeal said creature whenever you can keep them on 3 or less mana. This is the "best case ontario". Because they can't win unless they have multiple opals .
4. If we are still looking around the room trying to find a way to win, hopefully you can form tron by turn 4 and slaver them!!. Or topdeck like the former worlds strongest man bill kazmier and go over the top rope like rey mysterio. (just don't kill anyone).
5. If all else fails, tell your opponent you love the deck concept and it looks real cool. You are very impressed. Then proceed to grab your bottle of gatorade i mean h8rade and wins games 2 and 3 convincingly. This convincingly is non negotiable. We must absolutely destroy him or her the next 2 because the entire concept of the deck is for a simpleton. We are bred to outsmart the simpleton decks.
HOW DO YOU BEAT CHEERIOS? games 2 and 3.
1. Counter target spell (sram or puresteel)
2. Dismember or spatial said spells
3. Cast chalice of the void on any number.
4. Use Engineered Explosives to ensure victory. (2 or 0 is what i call for)
5. Surgical Extraction then demoralizes them.
6. Just my personal thoughts, how do we lose to this deck with snapcasters, dismembers, o. stone, rift, EE, Cotv, Remands, Condescends, Repeals, surgical extractions and or spell snares, spell pierce?
7. Ensure your opponent that its not his or her fault they lost the match. Let them know you really love the deck and concepts and they were awesome pilots / people.
8. If opponent tries to stress that they are unlucky, or its a good matchup for them, just nod your head in semi agree-ance. "better lucky than good" is your out if things shaky.

If you were looking for specific sideboard options or lines of play than this post probably didn't hit the mark. But I always have the old broom handy when cheerios is across from me. If they ask what I keep looking at I simply respond with "that broom over there, someone is about to get swept out!).

Pierakor , Derfiend post 75's for me to sling tomorrow.. I'm gonna need variations to complete 12 hours. My mind will be going absolutely nuts about 5 hours in i think.
Sage I'm not sure if i can run eldrazi... That is asking alot.. We'll see...
As far as walking ballista is concerned i'll try it out sometime for sure. Probably tomorrow. I'm old school and just tell everyone triskelion is better. Whether my statement is correct or not, it doesn't matter. Once you pick a line, you commit.

The nonbasic land will be a mountain because the text on spreading seas says it becomes an island. It still retains the super type nonbasic, so time layer stamping the most recent effect is in effect, so the nonbasic land is a mountain. If Bloodmoon comes in after Spreading Seas.
