Lmao. Sorry, Northy.

If you only have 2 sets in an Expansion...and reprints has to be in those Expansions (and not in a Core Expansion)...sounds like a lot of your room is going to be used up with reprints.
I am probably looking at it wrong.

I would assume...if they are going to do 2 sets: The first one will be the "big" set of around 300 cards."The second one with be the "small" set of around 150 cards. So...every big set, again assuming, will be half reprint cards, right?

It is very nice...but not absolutely necessary :)
I would suggest you make a similar deck, with Lodestone Bauble in it :)
It could end up really nice.

Good luck
Thanks for the suggestions :)

"Khans is a block that a lot of people are looking forward to..."

Exactly, people have waited for years for it...and it seems it will be the odd man out, lasting much shorter in Standard...because they have to start the change somewhere, and it is with Khans. Seems like if it was highly waited for...it wouldn't end up being the 1st one to last 18 months. I shouldn't of said it was going to be crappy like Homelands :) I get overworked and rant.

"The reason is that the effects of the Two-Block Paradigm are going to impact how long Khans of Tarkir will be in Standard, and it was important to us that you understood these ramifications before you purchased the product."

IN other words...understand the expansion you wanted for so long will be short lived, and the more expensive cards will go down in value much quicker.

It makes my day to hear you will proxy the deck :)

"This would mean we'd have to solve the problem of what to do with new players, but there had already been talk of creating a product line solely for them, anyway."

If Mark makes something like Portal, or Portal Three Kingdoms...again, I will personally smack him in the face!!! That was a mistake! They weren't even allowed in Tourneys until like 5 years after they were made. They used different terms then regular Expansions. Hell, they didn't even have stuff like Instants. It confused people, if anything.

"That's when Erik made a bold proposal. What if we changed Standard so cards rotated out after 18 months, rather than 24?"

Do you know how many people that will buy 30 dollar cards...just to see them rotate out so quickly, that will be pissed off? People were already pissed enough to have to buy 500 dollar decks just to see them go down to 200 bucks after rotation...now that is going to happen even faster?

So no more...Urza Saga, Urza Legacy, Urza Destiny sort of deal?
Only 2?

And he didn't admit it...but with lasting so shortly...Khans pretty much is trash, just like Homelands.

And did they say no more Core Sets?
That is pretty damn lame there, my friend.
How are they going to reprint cards? In the main sets? If so...where will be room for new cards? If there are only 2 sets in each block...and some of the cards in the set have to be from the old Core cards....wtf? Sounds like half of each block will be reprints.

Where Magic is headed:
1) 30 dollar fetchlands,
2) Jace Mind Sculptor/Dark Confidant/ Tarmogoyf being so damned expensive and outrageously powerful
3) Addition of Pokemon Style Mythical rares...like Foils weren't expensive/special enough.
4) No Core Sets...guess we got to get all of the reprints in pricey sets, now? Like Modern Masters? Or no reprints at all? Or even worse...the reprints in New Expansions.
5) The hint of crap like Portal being redone
6) Cards being rotated out faster and faster and faster
7) Standard being even more expensive

....not sure where they are taking Magic...but doesn't seem like a good place...looks like a place where you need to keep your checkbook/wallet ready.

My favorite line of the article is this one:

"(I should note that this is the default and we reserve the right to have sets of different sizes if it serves the block.) Blocks will no longer have a third set."

Jesus, really?! You mean, Mark, if you guys realized you fucked up, you can change it back...lol.

Thank you!

Not to mention Mother of Runes can make a creature unblockable :)

Pretty sure I understand this deck, but could you explain it.

Three Kingdom cards...some are very pricey.
Explain this deck?
And are you against updating it?

Explain this one, please?

3 lands.
I think that may be way too many!!!

Not sure if it really belongs in Aggro...but Mother of Runes is my favorite white creature.

No Fireblast?
...why no Fireblast?...

Umm...outside the land base, friend, what do you think of the deck?
Or at least the concept of the deck?

I am sure you are right :)

Thanks for the suggestion :)
I might put him in my blue Rishadan Bounce Deck.

Accumulated Knowledge for drawing (combos well with Snapcaster)
Birds of Paradise and Hinterland Harbor for mana stability
Argothian Wurm for the Win Condition
Temporal Spring/Noxious Revival/Plow Under/Memory Lapse/Hinder for Bouncing Fun
Snapcaster Mage to flashback your Bouncing Fun Cards.

Tell me what you guys think!!!

Just a quick look over the deck, i would recommend some sort of cards that let you draw.

Thanks Brawler.
This is my favorite deck out of 80 decks I have built.
It is one of the few that I actually own in person.

I will sideboard Black Vise :)
Thanks.
