I had very much the same experience with this trader, although I requested that he send first, so I'm not out any cards.  After two weeks of pestering, he told me he would send them "tomorrow", and that was two weeks ago.  He has yet to mark them as shipped or tell me anything to the contrary, and I have yet to receive any cards.

So, I wouldn't say that this is necessarily just communication failure.

You have nothing on your wishlist, so I would have no clue what to offer.

Any more updates that we were going to make to the deck?  Just curious since everybody had gone quiet for some time now.

And ugh, Woodland Cemetery just jumped up to $11-12.  I can't decide if I should try to get the last one I need for a playset now so that I can play this deck, or if they'll end up dropping in price later on.  If anybody has one that they want to trade, I'm open for negotiations.

Okay, this looks amazing.  Keep up the great work!

Sent a trade.

I'm in the process of cataloging all of my commons, so if there are any W/B/R commons that you're looking for, they won't be in my deckbox yet, so feel free to ask and I can check if I have them.

lol? ......... It's a spam bot.....:

Even if we drop the BoPs, I think we need to replace it, at least partially, with something else that provides ramp, otherwise we're going to be way too slow in getting to our actual end-game (any of the expensive enchantments, preferably multiple of them).  I'm not sure that there is much to help us out for ramp at the moment though, without knowing the full RTR list (which will hopefully include BoP).

Yep, I agree that we can probably cut one Champion of Lambholt.  And if we did want to make it rotation safe, then we'd have to cut both the Reassembling Skeletons and Birds of Paradise (although, most people thing that is coming back).  I don't really think that we want to cut too many creatures though, personally.  And sadly, at the moment, there isn't really any good mana ramp creature to replace the BoPs if they aren't reprinted in RTR.

If I had to pick some other stuff, I'd say that Predatory Rampage isn't going to do us a whole lot of good, because a lot of our creature are very small, and even then, your opponent still gets to choose how to block, so they could block in a way that the fewest number of creatures die, and then we don't really benefit from it all that much.

And while Exquisite Blood is an awesome card, I think that we have a few too many very expensive enchantments, and this one doesn't specifically build on the theme that we have going.

I'd disagree.  First off, Searing Spear can target a player, while Mizzium Mortars cannot, which can be a huge advantage in lots of situations.  And, while I agree that Overload is amazing, I don't think that the additional 6 mana required to utilize it on the Mortars will be used all that often in constructed play.

Detain can lock down blockers for a big attack, or even a planeswalker before it can go ultimate.  If some Golgari is using a bunch of abilities on creatures like Jarad, then they could possibly be hosed for the rest of the game if you are able to keep detaining the creatures that they're depending on.

I'll agree that the mechanic itself isn't as immediately changing of the board state, that doesn't mean that it can't make a huge impact.

Really?  You don't like Detain?  I'm not a UW player either, usually, but I think detain is a very interesting idea.  It is powerful, in that it allows you to possibly lock down their main forces for one turn, but not too overpowered, because there isn't any actual removal done.  The thought of combining Detain with all of the flickering effects from AVR just blows my mind.

Well, we sent at the same time, so that isn't really possible, sadly.  And while, yes, a buck fifty isn't going to bankrupt me, the reason that I'm here trading for cards rather than just buying them is to hopefully save money by trading away cards that I don't necessarily need, so that I have money available to do things like FNM and drafts.  Plus, I am a big fan of standing on principle.
