1. Stab wound
2. Selesnya, freaking populate.
3. N/a
4. Archon of the triumvirate. Never attacked against me.
5. Niv Mizzet
6. Pretty much anything with scavenge.
7. Super quick. Only thing above 4 mana was Centaur populate spell?
8. Selesnya's populate and Azorius' detain were pretty sweet together.
9. Populate. It's insane.
10. Rakdos got shafted, Selesnya is aweome, Azorious is waaaay better, Golgari is a lot worse, and Izzet is a bit better.
11. If a guild leader came out, they beat face for a couple of turns at least. Only one that I don't think will find a home in standard is isperia. and maybe rakdos.
12. I liked the birds and centaurs.
13. Eyes in the skies. I love shouting, "Mmm biiiiirds!"
I'd take out the petroglyphs for something, I dislike giving my opponents boosts in their creatures. Especially since you mentioned them playing Rhys and Ghave decks.
Well I don't see the point in going somewhere to play anymore. Now I can just stay home and play with my friends. I guess I don't need to buy as many packs to stay competitive with the other players. So thanks for lightening the load on my wallet wizards.
To be fair, if you are a casual/FNM player/small scale tournaments, there are many relatively good, well priced decks (already mentioned). It is, naturally, expected that to be competitive, decks have to be more expensive. Perhaps comparing a pro/casual tennis player, you would find the pro's gear to be of better quality (and more expensive) than the casual player's, but both these players only seek to be on par with their surroundings.
Additionally, it would be poor to argue that money shouldn't be a factor in magic, when it is a prominent factor everywhere else. Go back to our tennis player example, the competitor who invests the most in gear, training and coaches/dietitians will obviously have some advantage to a player who does not.
Nicole Bolas is involved in the taint in Mirrodin, sends Tezz to stir up more ☺☺☺☺, forcing Karn to return and strip karn of the pieces of the Legacy, and use it to boost his own powers.
Thornling. Land him with the one mana to protect and watch Jund fail. Chump him? Trample. Destroy him? Indestructible. Need a little more damage? Pump him.
TC, for your deck, remove the 4 Gaea's Anthems for 3 Thelon of Havenwood. They are AMAZING. You can easily have a 30/30 Thallid. Lol. Or, remove Sprout for it.
Try removing Sprout for Utopia Mycon. Same mana, and you still get a creature out of it. =D
I might suggest splashing blue for Opposition, making this a deck that can cover all of it's weaknesses: You can keep the opponent off of the 2WW for Wrath, etc.. Paradox Haze is cute too, but getting a fourth Doubling Season is paramount.
I really like the thought of this. For ~$20 I get a fully loaded box, tacos burritos and cinnatwists... wrong box. I just hope they haven't found another way to unload saviors and eventide on me.

My bad, I never knew they said it was monoblack.
At least the pro tennis gear won't rotate out.
Bolas apparently loves screwing stuff up. -cough- Eldrazi -cough-
If you splash blue be sure to include Intruder alarm and sprout swarm.
