I already have separate accounts for mmo-champ (Curse, I assume), MTGS (from before merging with curse, so not a curse account, I assume) and Twitch. I do NOT have facebook account of any kind, and I'm not making one either. Good thing this merge is with twitch and not with facebook. At least I have a possibility of continuing. I'm just not sure which accounts will be merged in the end.
About passwords, I have over 300 sites where I have some kind of username and password, and each of those has a different password.
Moat also hurts Norin a bit.
But no, only recruiters that were available were near mints. I waited for about two months to see one used one cheaper, but didn't really find one. Got mine from Magiccardmarket.eu after I saw one NM at relatively "cheap" price
I'm kinda in the same boat. With Insurrection, you know what you get in ANY circumstances. Mass Mutiny requires kinda specific situation if you want to have even close to the effect of Insurrection.
When one of our group plays Animar, with x^y tokens and artifact creatures on the board and another Karador with bunch of guys popping out from graveyard, its always cleaner and more effective to get the whole board, even if it takes a bit more time (to get the mana). Norin is quite notorious of being able to stall others :).
Also added the Beetleback chief in deck. Definitely seems better than Marshall (haven't played with it yet though). Lower mana cost, you CAN leave it on board (for ETB shenanigans) as it does not have echo, tutorable by Imperial etc.
BTW, Gakas Norin Control uses Imperial Recruiter. I bet the raise is just because of this one deck. All hail Norin!
EDIT:
I had questions about Diaochan rules -> answers here http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=345283
Or the deck is suddenly 40 dollars in the shop (SCG 30 dollars now, no clue about ebay).
Edit: And yeah, I do love this deck. Just got myself an Imperial recruiter as well just because of this :).
Or Planechase?
I didn't see anything that special to change into this deck myself, but maybe I missed something... Dragonlair Spider, Thromok the Insatiable?
Because Gaka had a Hanna deck primer?
Anyways, I see Hanna as much more powerful card than Sisay. Maybe I'm wrong. However, I don't see either played anywhere else than commander, so can't figure out why there would be any big price difference (before FTV, of course). Maybe Hanna is played more in general in EDH. I.e. it fits blue/white decks as a card, while Sisay really works only as a General.

It uses Magictraders price lists. You need to manually import new price lists whenever you want to refresh them though. And It requires some excel-fu, but I had no clue about Excel (more than keep lists of stuff in it) when I started and the code side turned ok after few evenings.
I don't see Tibalt ever having such an impact as Shadows.
Edit: Of course, Vicious shadows does not work with Final Judgment, Hallowed Burial or Hallowed bural v.2.miracle or Evacuation or Evacuation v.2.miracle, so the wraths that it works with are only like half of the stuff that is used.

I don't know if everyone here already knew this, but this was new information for me.
So don't go hiding your Norin to Exile, but always replace it by Command zone. That way nasty Time Stops and such won't leave Norin out as you can always cast him again from Command (with +2 mana) (at least this is how I understood it).
Edit: Ah, at least Gaka knows :). Here are Sheldon's explanations and more info:

I have two enchantments on battlefield:
Sanguine Bond
Exquisite Blood
(Link to image: http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/tcg/products/avr/5um6onpe01_en.jpg)
During my turn, I cast Death Grasp to one of my opponents for 2 points.
Question A)
What happens (exactly)?
Here is my thoughts:
1) Death grasp is put to stack.
2) During Death grasp resolution, I deal 2 damage and receive 2 life -> this triggers both Sanguine Bond and Exquisite blood (they make triggers because they have "whenever").
3) After Death Grasp has resolved and removed from stack, the two triggers (Bond+Blood) are placed in stack. The triggers can be in either order as I control both enchantments. Lets say I put Exquisite blood on top and Bond at bottom.
4) The Exquisite blood trigger resolves and I gain 2 life. This causes Sanguine blood to trigger.
5) After exquisite blood trigger has been resolved, the new Sanquine bond trigger is placed on top of stack. Stack now has two Sanquine bond triggers for 2 damage.
6) Resolve the top Bond trigger -> new Exquisite blood trigger is placed on top of stack
7) This bond/blood triggering continues until everybody is dead?
Question B)
Sanquine bond cannot be prevented with Circle of protection: Black or similar, as it is life loss?
Question C)
What happens if one of the opponents has Imperial Mask?
All the rest of the opponents are killed and as I cannot target the one with the Mask, the rest of the triggers from Bond fizzle and game can continue?
Question D)
What happens if one of the opponents has Platinum Angel?
Do I continue gaining life and opponent losing life infinitely? Can I stop the loop somehow with my decision (without instant enchantment removal or such)?
Thanks.
Can throw it before casting Grisel, to set it up. If anyone pays, they are going to be in deep deep trouble after you pull your deck. I.e. its 10 less storm count you need with Griselbrand.
