Anyone seen MaRos tumblr today? Next to Bradys explanation why they discontinued the novel line I think we can get a pretty clear picture how WotC views this issue: it's OUR fault!! What the...:mad:
I am over reacting here, but this really ticks me off! I have been buying their crappy novels, comics and what not for years and years and all I got was this stupid shirt ... wait, I'm getting off track...
But seriously - it couldn't have possibly been the case that their sh*t products have deterred people from buying them ... no, no, no... there is just too few people willing to pay for their brilliant but sadly underappreciated products. Or maybe they failed to effectively market them to actually grow a market for their non-card products ... no, no, no ... in their eyes it is probably our fault we didn't convince everyone we knew what great products Magic offers besides cards!
Geez... really?!?!
I am so pissed I feel like punching Chuck ****ing Norris in the face.
Look in all honesty it is our fault, completely and utterly our fault. Well ok not completely, but................. yeah.
I love(d) the books, even the bad ones and all we did is ***** and whine, and grumble, and all that. WotC lurks here more than you think.
Look at where all of our pissant bickering about clockworking has lead....... it lead ****ing nowhere, the books are gone now...... We sure showed them.
But wait at least we still have Savor the Flavor, right? oh. thats right we have a 1054 post long thread here of people complaining about it, and now that's gone too....... riiiiiaaaaaggggghhhhhhtttttt bang up job boys.
What really just gets to me is I obviously love Lili for person reasons, and I've been waiting since Agents of Artifice to get a book devoted to her....... Just as they're about to release 2 books featuring her, it all goes black.
Damn it Brady the books already written, cover art already completed, release the damn thing. I wanted Lili to read it when she got older.
Blah, I can believe that nerdy neckbeards finally accomplish something, and I can't reveal in it, I can't stand behind it, I can't be proud of it.
Well lets just calls this the "John Wilkes Booth of Achievements."
Please keep things civil in the future. Thanks.

If your running refuges...do you like the idea or borderposts better? You don't get the life (which is important for buying time, I have them in my ub reani, that life is actually helpful)...
However I like the borderposts in higher cm mdecks cuz you could actually (*gasp*) cast them as ramp. Same with obelisks. As a side note, I'm a signet fan as well *grin*.
Lastly, regarding your draw/sort...Merfolk looter (ive used merfolk traders itp as well) is no louse, as it can block your lone goblin, or chump something bigger after you've gotten some use out of it...
Hope I've helped in some small way...im very budget in my decks for the last 10-ish years...I think strong budget decks as possible with some inginuity
DRum
I honestly hate Boarderposts, I'm sorry. Especially in this deck, because of the high non-basic count they would more than likely have to be hardcast.
As for Merfolk Looter, I am a big fan as well. I run him in Dredge and Rez, but I want something a little different for this deck so the shell doesn't feel like copypasta.
This is my fav. by far, It is completely pimped out, with only Textless promos, cards form Liliana Vs. Garruk, or cards featuring Liliana Vess in the picture.
It doesn't actually matter since the card is unusable. It might have been too good in "The Deck" back in '07 or something, but yeah, the card is basically unusable at this point in time.
This is what I was getting at in my first post.
But I guess the "no one cares to speck up" thing holds weight enough.
Regrowth is restricted for no real reason. The fact that it's a Green card basically means that it's impossible for it to be broken in Vintage. As strong as recurring Time Walk and Ancestral Recall is, it's not worth adding more Green cards to your decks for that sort of thing. I don't think anything would change were it to become unrestricted.
Heavy sigh.
I suppose thats true enough, but why not Noxious Revival, or the others like it?
Yes I understand that they don't put the card directly into your hand, but your still getting 2 turns for 3 mana.
Goblin Assault or Rise of the Hobgoblins (Seems better overall) Seem like they want to be in here so that you have some chump blockers or something for your dragons to Nom Nom. (Damn it I just lost the game)

And there is a Black Metal band named Yawgmoth who sited Mtg and the infamous character for the origin of the name.
Oh I get it sun = solar, lol....... no.
It was played before Sun Titan, in Rav/Tsp Type 2, and it got its name because of one of it's finishers, "Krillan".
I honestly hate Boarderposts, I'm sorry. Especially in this deck, because of the high non-basic count they would more than likely have to be hardcast.

But thanks for the input DrDrum.
Yes I believe it was Arabian Nights that was supposed to have purple backs, as seen on the booster pack packaging.
Also while Brady says it's purely coincedence Liliana Vess is still an anagram for A Villianess.

Regardless, Githu Encampment souldnt be burning up one of those precious slots.
All of these deserve consideration. I think your burn suite is too large, consider replacing some of these as replacements.
If your trying to make a Pauper deck I hate to be the barer of bad news but Pauper is played with NO uncommons.
Also what are you using Red for? Splashing it for Lightning Bolt and Ternimate seems almost counter productive.
This is what I was getting at in my first post.
But I guess the "no one cares to speck up" thing holds weight enough.

Yes I understand that they don't put the card directly into your hand, but your still getting 2 turns for 3 mana.
Or hell recollect for that matter?
Sacred Mesa as Ponyville?
Dense Canopy, Heartbeat of Spring, Hidden Stag, Khalni Heart Expedition, or Leyline of Vitality for the Forest?...................... or maybe just a forest would work better IDK.
As far as The Royal Wedding Proposal seems AMAZING, but lol good luck with that.
The rest are Ante cards, which aren't banned because of their power level, but simply because they have Ante and Gambling is bad.
Of the lot, I personally think Oath of Druids and Hermit Druid are the best.
Hermit Druid in dredge is off the chain.
Oath of Druids in control is brutally unfair.
Errrr, Regrowth is restricted, it's good, but I don't necessarily understand why it's restricted.....
Rise of the Hobgoblins also lets you give your big Red beasts first strike later on.
