A friend and I were talking, and trying to come up with a good deck that would use bitterblossom, but isn't faeries or b/w tokens. It's a great card but there's only a couple decks out there that put it to an effective use.
This is the first draft of what we've come up with.
The main problem I would think is that there's no passive pump to put tokens outside infest/fallout range. Win conditions come from the husk, furystoke, or torrent.
If they print all these cards in the set they might as well just have called the set:
"FtV: Screw All Collectors".
......
It's usually not good business to screw 50% of your customers...
It's not really fair to say that "50% of wotc customers are collectors"... Indeed I think a far higher percentage of people who purchase magic cards use them to play the game with. Playing the game with cards that haven't been available to the masses for 15 years would do more to draw people towards it then drive them away.
As has been said before, this set will be huge for peoples' cubes. Will it really bug you so much when someone drops a foil berserk against you? Play your beta one back and smirk haughtily knowing that YOU are MUCH more hardcore then them.
t1: forest, noble hierarch
t2: mountain, viashino slaughtermaster

Any thoughts?
