This would be great if it could also work as a pick-up line... Alas.

Makes me want to buy another box actually....

I also got a huntmaster and sorin together when I bought a DA box at launch.

Huh, that's very peculiar.

Btw, Tawnos. This thing worked awesomely. I had to make a slight modification, but was a very well played deck and even stood on it's own during multiplayer.

Jolly good show!

Excellent explanation. Now I may just have to try it like it is. I lack the dual lands, but maybe I can substitute shimmering grottos.

Also, I meant the high casting cost does NOT make sense for tournament play.

(all typed on the phone) :-(

I'm doing the same thing with mine. I've got a few ideas and maybe they'll work for you too.

Wreath of Geists If you don't like equipping.
Bonehoard Great to get a creature out and remember it's ALL graveyards.
Parallel Lives I only put it in for the Kessig Cagebreakers
Grim Flowering Might be that extra boost you can get yourself.

Hope those might help!

Triple post!

Last thing hopefully.... Don't cut your wolves synergy short. They work extraordinarily well when most of them hit the field. With all the enchantments and instants you'll have plus your bonus creatures that can add to each other, my friend was tapping 4-5 creatures for 40 points of damage. So in the late game, most of your stuff should be big to handle those others. That's why I thought the parallel lives and cagebreakers were out of place. Then again if you pull it off, you're getting double and they ALSO get your bonuses... So, up to you! I'd like to know how it goes!

He plays casual, but it's mean. They get hella big and powerful very quickly. He wins more than he loses but he's also a very old schooler and it might just be the player in him.

As far as FNM, I could see a lot of people making copies of a top end deck in tourneys and some of those deal with spirits and flying. I just notice he takes the most damage from them or direct damage when we go at it, but flying is more consistent. That's my only experience since I've never seen him go one on one. I would just imagine you'd need those faster casting ones on a heads up match.

Awesome! I definitely don't want to be that kid that gets into something new for them and the old timers calling me whipper snappers. And I've always liked Tawnos feedback. That's something I'd like to do is get good enough to offer my own advice.

To address some of the concerns, the game would be five people, but each one only has two enemies. For instance if I was playing green, my opponents are black and blue, red is white and blue, etc. That also means that the other two can be neutrals or allies, depending on what you are doing to their enemies or neutrals/allies, if that makes sense.  It's still in planning stage so there is plenty of room for improvement.

The red was planned to run fast on purpose. I was able to play a 3 person ffa and was able to kill each of them in three turns. Then I added the leylines and chieftains to mellow it out. But I'll look into your suggestion and see what I can do. I do have small creatures, but when a few of them have battle cry, they aren't small anymore.

Treasure hunt has not done that well for what I want it to do. I'm not finding it's purpose because I'll only be pulling up lands and not too many other cards. I think I could get a lot more with ponders, preordains, or even foresee. The only benefit I've seen is for cranberries. (glad you liked that name!)

And last, green was the hardest and I wanted a good theme. So instead of focusing on big creatures, I wanted to flash them when they attacked and boosted them. I only picked the veils because the green's enemies are black and blue and wanted a good FU when they wanted to do something. I did look into lure and if I wanted to try them, something would have to go. I was already trying hard to keep it down to 60 so I'll have to look at it again.

Oh, and I have not tried the cranberries yet, but doing some practice starting hands, you need to have a treasure hunt so it's best to keep mulligan'ing until you do, which I've gone down as low as four cards. People may say I netdecked this, but I really initially thought of it and looked it up later. Not saying I'm the first, but I'm still gonna try it!

Definitely thanks for the love. I thought for sure I turned into that guy that bothers everyone with his "ideas".

Oh, we haven't done the game yet. I just practiced with them on some other games. We'll do it soon.

(Those who are sneaky enough to realize I was playing a blue deck vs. a B/U one.)

Agreed. Common courtesy would be nice. Just a quick word on what's up isn't hard. At least I try to let people know what's up.
