    The planechase stuffs is kinda neat, but in casuals we always just keep a deck of effects nearby for fun, flip top card, keep in play for round unless someone decides to off it. Working on a Progenitus EDH deck of all legendary crap, barring basic lands, should be fun...

I know 5cc runs 27, because they need 7 by turn 7. 5cc probably will be dead anyway with the rotation of vivid lands and reflecting pool, which is really what made it viable in the first place.
    b/r control? Blue red or black red, cause.... there isn't a lot of control in black/red. Unless it's a megrim deck?

    Mindbreak Trap might make mill decks pretty viable. That shit is awesome. 0 mana thirteen card discard. Twincast that shit for 26 mill for two mana... haha

    Anyone know of a decent place in Baltimore, MD to unload a bunch of cards? I haven't played in years and I don't have anything terribly worthwhile (a few gems from Legends and down, and a lot of cards from last years Type 2/standard/whatever they call it). I just don't have the time to play or the people to really get into the game and they are taking up space!

    Zandikar Pre-release this week. I've been looking at alot of the spoilers and the set looks pretty good. Anyone else got any opinions?

    black/red. This is the list I was using.

    Creatures:
    3 Hypnotic Specter
    3 Shriekmaw
    3 Demigod of Revenge
    9 total

    Spells:
    4 Duress
    4 Terminate
    3 Infest
    3 Corrupt
    3 Tendrils of Corruption
    4 Sign in Blood
    2 Diabolic Tutor
    1 Liliana Vess
    1 Haunting Echoes
    25 total

    Lands
    18 Swamps
    4 Terramorphic Expanse
    2 Mountain
    2 Gargoyle Castle
    26 total

    Sideboard:
    3 Black Knight
    1 Mind Shatter
    1 Infest
    2 Warren Weirding
    3 Lightning Bolt
    1 Mountain
    1 haunting echoes
    3 Deathmark

    Plenty of control in that deck. Prob will replace Demigod with Ob Nixils, Shriekmaw with Gatekeeper, and possibly Liliana with Sorin, but I'll have to test that one. Not going to speculate on post rotation SBs yet.

    The new 5cc 4/4 flier with prowhite and vamp corrupt 187 is probably better than Ob just on the ground that he can stall Baneslayer and wouldn't die to white removal

    Yeah I just saw that guy. Not so much worried about baneslayer, the deck generally packs enough removal heat to deal with them.

    At this point, it might be in the works to go mono black aggro instead of control. Control got mind sludge, but no Mutilate type mass removal, which I was really hoping for.

    Infest is still pretty good as far as board sweepers. You wont really be getting swamped by huge doods too much, and then there's always doomblade and death mark for those.

    The one sided -1/-1 with kicker was kinda dissapointing, would have been a lot better if it was a -3/-3 kicked or higher, but at -2/-2 it's not really that great of a board sweeper.

    Seem like it's all about the goddamn vampires aggro now though, the 1-3 drops are kinda fucking insane

    Holy fucking shit, vintage card officially confirmed on Zendikar like the timewarped cards in Time spiral, which may/may not include original dual lands and the power.

    Zendikar is such a fucking money set...

    Enemy duals, WoG replacement and all those amazing rares/mythic, and now vintages...

    Boxes/Boosters are so gonna be going for way beyond their MSRP now lol

    I went 3-1 then did a draft and went 0-3. But I got a warren instigator and a verdant catacombs so I'm pleased.

    My shop did a sealed deck pre-release and i didn't do too bad went 6-5 and somehow ended up 8th amongst 31 people. Next week we're doing draft which i do like more than sealed.

    Yeah draft > sealed. Sealed is so shit, it's pure luck dependent. My sealed pull shit on me.. -_- I didn't even get a good rare either.

    We had a 60 person pre-release today, was good times. My sealed deck was shit so I ran a blue/white equipment deck lol. Finished 18th, not awful. Got nothing but shitty rares like lulzmage mentor merfolk and halo hunters. fack.

    I like Zendikar A LOT more than m10 though, landfall is fun.

    Went 3-1 in Sealed in Seattle. Got 2 Fetch Lands (R/W & U/G), Nissa which covered what I paid. Went U/B/g due to the removal and flying creatures I got (including 2 Sphinx of Jwar Isle, 1 foil).

    The set is a lot of fun and landfall is insane, especially with Fetch Lands. Won one game out of nowhere when my opponent was at 20 or 21 and I was at 4. Due to landfall tricks with a Fetch Land I attacked for 23 damage with most of it flying.
