Ded's correct. I like to toss in 4 Kokusho instead...because it's just that damn funny =P

Big Red is always a blast to play. No pun intended =P
Not just that, but I like the thought of a couple scythes in a mono-black deck =P
In almost every case a well made Elf deck will have numerous and large threats...so much so that from Overrun (or similar spells) is just overkill.
Holy balls. I never thought of that Meddling Mage combo! It's like a goofy, poor-man's Extraction! There's also an enchantment that does a similar thing (Runed Halo). Nice find dude.
Bloodthirst can be pretty impressive if used in the right deck. It can also be pretty underwhelming, but what can ya do? EDH doesn't have to be a bank-breaker really. I've seen some pretty decent ones that were very budget friendly. =/
It's the same problem that happens when people use the artifact lands. Dryad Arbor is a land/creature but it's only listed as a creature. I actually did a double-take at first too. =]
Oh yeah, if you don't have flying defense, this hands you your ass on a silver platter. =]
By the way, do you play EDH?
It's just the sort of trend the game is moving towards really. To showcase Hexproof. they're going to have a bunch of cards with Hexproof. Since Green is the main color where this ability exists (it was where it originated) most Hexproof cards in the set will be Green...so green will be a pain in the ass for control players. Vampires are making a return in M12 along with the mechanic "Bloodthirst". Vampires have always been powerful, so it's pretty obvious Black will be ridiculous.
Exactly. This is probably the only deck that can actually make me mad at Wumps.
Yeah pretty much. Extraction is hard to learn because you actually have to learn every other deck out there...and I won't lie, that's not only hard, but takes time and experience. That's why a newcomer to Extraction might be a threat, but a veteran is the most dominant player in the room. And M12 is going to play out as such: Red will have a few good things, but overall will get the shaft. Blue will have a flat-line of average stuff...nothing too good, but nothing terrible. White is gonna be weird in that it will have some INSANE stuff, and then some really crappy stuff. Black is going to have everyone in an uproar, and Green is going to be a menace. Boros isn't dead in my opinion, Equipment-based Boros is though. Boros was kicking people's ass well before SFM.
One of these days, I'm going to make you deck yourself with this. Then who will be laughing?! Also: http://www.myfacewhen.com/24/ Why is that still not on the sleeves for this yet?
Exactly. As I see it, each one of the "best" is powerful against another...which is perfect! Extraction is on the rise around my area (not just my shop, but some other places too), but it's not an inherently easy deck type to use, so it's sadly not AS popular as it could be. Extraction is always powerful, and it's pretty damn strong in standard...but inexperience will make it falter to its weaknesses. Take someone like me who has played Extraction for over a frickin' decade though...and it's a whole different story. =P By the way, with the banning of SFM, what do you think is going to happen to Boros?
I can't wait to see what Legacy will make of you. I think you have the talent to play in Legacy, and that is definitely not something you can say to just anyone. I just played in a tourney today to see what the bans did to the meta. I had so much fun! There was...creativity! And nothing makes me happier than playing Extraction against a slew of totally different decks! It's like a puzzle every time! =D (By the way, without the worry of Caw-blade...my Extraction deck MURDERED that tourney) Now, obviously Valakut will probably rise back up...But honestly, Valakut has notable weaknesses. So I'm fine with that really.
I am so damn happy Jace got banned. For so many reasons too...Bravo Wizards. =] Seems like you chose a good time to explore the great and mighty realm of Legacy...Standard is going to be a shitstorm now that all the spoiled brats' decks are worthless! XD (<_< Is it bad that I take enormous pleasure from that fact?) Anyway, this looks like a nice, solid design dude. I like it. It's a little slow starting, but looks fast after that first turn.
Haha, yeah. I'm using the Scythe Tiger as a placeholder for Scythe Specter until the vault updates. =]
Hey thanks man =]
Can you blame them?
I might use Contamination for my Seizan deck...I certainly have thought about it. I still am unsure how many creatures I want in the deck though, or if I would want a bunch of token generators (Though I will be using Bitterblossom). Arty uses Contamination in his Maralen deck, so I know what a headache it can be. As for Zur...Necropotence, Steel of the Godhead, Edge of Divinity, Underworld Dreams, Propaganda/Ghostly Prison, maybe Helm of the Ghastlord?, Prison Term (everyone will HATE you), Contamination =P, Rhystic Study.... Zur is great because of the shear number of crap you have at your disposal. =P Oh, and if you don't use Debtors' Knell in an EDH deck with the colors to use it I will slap you.
