Going WG gave me access to Stirring Wildwood, which proved invaluable in this particular build.

I was lucky enough to receive ALL the cards on this list for free. But yes, those three are some particularly choice acquisitions. Certainly I didn't know it at the time, but, then again, my knowing wouldn't have changed his willingness to part with them.
I wholeheartedly agree. The few times I've been involved in an actual exchange of deckbuilding ideas were really helpful and constructive. But these discussions need to happen WAY more often. Maybe there should be a mandatory comment to go along with rating decks. Not like that'd solve the problem, but it could help.
Dauntless Escort is a great suggestion. Traded my only copy to the guy who's currently spanking me with the UW control, unfortunately. But yeah -- basically going to ignore it for now...I'm happy to keep beating on his other decks. Just sad to see my champ go down.
PS -- Congrats on winning the deck challenge!
My five-color ally deck just got spanked by early removal, Day of Judgement, and Spreading Seas. Buddy of mine built something for the express purpose of frustrating me, I think. =) You have any successful strategies for dealing with that sort of heavy, control-oriented thing?
Ah! I'd overlooked the Harabaz Druids. Don't have any of those myself, but would love to get some. Glad you pointed that out. Khalni Gem makes more sense now -- thanks. Have to try that sometime...
Thanks for commenting on my ally deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=61424)! A couple questions about yours: 1) Do you find that you use Warp World very often? Maybe it's just the decks I've played so far, but I find that my games -- win or lose -- are usually over by about turn six. 2) Why the Khalni Gem? Why only one? Have you tried playing more than that? Very curious.
