    I doubt it. Flores is supposedly always previewing tournament staples. This might or might not be true, however I think you could make a point that the cards he previews are always hyped.

    I think I found the card that was in that deck: Angel's trumpet.

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    What a lot of questions ;) OK. You have reflecting pool, try the Simic land as well. If you don't need to have the deck Extended legal, try Sensei's divining top. It's great with Coiling oracle, only uses colorless mana and helps smooth out draws. Look for some shuffle effect. You do know...

    I don't mind playing with maindeck Naturalize (also getting reprinted in ALA), especially if it reads "destroy target artifact, enchantment or creature". Still a pity they didn't reprint Viridian Zealot in tenth edition (speaking about zealot, it's still a pity they put that extra 1 in it's...

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    You can have multiple Equilibriums on the board ;) Yes, I think 4 is the right number. As for mana fixing, I'd go for Wood elves if you have duals, or Civic wayfinder if you don't. It's depending on the lands you have available. If you have fetches, play brainstorm. Well, play Brainstorm anyway...

    Forget what I said, Deep water is really good ;)

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    With Equilibrium you can bounce your opponent's creatures, with Curio you can only bounce your own stuff. The difference is that with Curio if you want to bounce an opposing creature you'd need a card that bounces opposing creatures. If you play Equilibrium, you don't need that specific card but...

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    Isn't Equilibrium strictly superior to Cloudstone curio? Besides the double blue in the casting cost, but that's manageable. As for splashing black, if you'd go with cards like Wood elves (plus bayou/overgrown tomb) you can splash any color you want. The question is: for what? Black's 187 is...

    Hall of Shame Voting: The Dark

    Sorrow's path looks worse than it actually is. It has a narrow effect, but Dark water's effect is even narrower. That card is obsolete in every aspect. I can imagine that one instance where Sorrow's path would be benificial: in reject rare draft, Sorrow's path is a bomb. Dark water isn't. You...

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    It's depending on what kind of deck you want to build. Do you want an equilibrium deck or a blink deck? What lands do you have available? Because with 1UU you're solidly into blue. Plus you need white for gating... (or black for Grave pact :D Because that's the other way you can take with...

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    You should read this. Abe Sargent is one of the best casual writers, and one of his pet decks is based on Fleetfoot panther and Equilibrium. Fleetfoot panther is a gating creature, like Whitemane lion. I really liked the Equinaut-idea, and after reading that article I started building the deck...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    I have no clue what you are talking about, so I looked up on wikipedia what a marriage licence is. It appears to be something that's never been in use in the barbaric region I live in: here, both the registration (what is probably somewhat similar to applying for a marriage licence, as it...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    Well, here civil servants perform marriages. Religious marriages have zero value (unnless you count emotional value). Hence the confusion. There has been a court ruling on this, and apparently you'd be discriminating against women. You're free to do this, but only outside of your job. Last...

    Midnight Pact

    If it's only been dead for a year, you can easily tie it together with ducttape. Haven't you seen my front page necro? I'm on a necro spree ;)

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    There's a lot I have to do on a daily basis that I don't feel comfortable with, like paying taxes. In the end, I'm bound by law to do these things anyway. These laws are something we agreed on together, as a society. While I can respect someone's belief, freedom of religion coupled with...

    Midnight Pact

    Night dealings is brilliant! The one card (one, because you can get it with Summoner's pact) you missed is Djinn illuminatus. With the Djinn you can replicate the pacts infinite times. If you have a way to win with infinite giant tokens right away (dunno, Goblin bombardment perhaps) you're...

    I've thought about it last night, but I want something to do with the tokens. I want to make the downside of VWR (and the hunted guys) an upside. Brand is good. I had dismissed it too soon. It cycles, so it can't be completely wrong in any situation. And that's exactly what I'm looking for...

    Brand begs for Gilded drake... EDIT: I'm not sold on Brand, because it is a dead card on it's own. On the upside, it cycles. Pretty hard to make room for it... I'm excited about Gilded drake though. Brand + Gilded drake is half a deck on it's own. Gilded drake has the same problem as Hunted...

    Peacekeeper... interesting. Ensnaring bridge does something similar, as do Propaganda and Ghostly prison. These last two cards work fine.
