I have just made some major changes to this deck; for the first time ever, I have changed the general of this deck, replacing Uril, the Miststalker with Marath, Will of the Wild, because, while Uril was certainly an excellent general, it did not match the theme of this deck, which contained a mere six auras, whereas Marath does, and, upon making that change, I have decided to further emphasize this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters, specifically, by replacing Armadillo Cloak, Bear Umbra, Runes of the Deus, Scourge of the Nobilis, Shield of the Oversoul, and Snake Umbra with All Will Be One, Cathars' Crusade, Warleader's Call, Fertilid, Kalonian Hydra, and Steelbane Hydra; I had contemplated putting Forgotten Ancient in this deck, but I was not able to find space for it, and I also wish to minimize overlap with or similarities between this deck and my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, and, while this deck does not have quite as great of an emphasis on generating creature tokens as does my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, I still believe that it has a sufficient focus to justify the inclusion of Warleader's Call, which also has great synergy with Tamanoa. I also replaced Titanic Ultimatum with Pathbreaker Ibex, because the creature can use its ability repeatedly. I had considered putting Cabaretti Ascendancy into this deck, but I feel that this deck does not contain quite a sufficient number of creature cards to justify the inclusion of that card.
Overall, these changes reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 40.6 to 4.05, which is only a minimal change, but doing so also reduced the number of colored mana symbols in this deck, which is also a very good thing.
What does everyone else say about this? Do you believe that I did well with overhauling this deck?

What Does Bloomburrow …...
#3
It seems that many players are excited about Bloomburrow, but I am not certain why that is, since sentient beings that resemble anthropomorphic non-human animals, such as leonin, ainok, and viashino, have been part of this game for many years now, so I wonder what Bloomburrow offers that the game has not already had; is it the fact that the plane of Bloomburrow is inhabited only by anthropomorphic animals, and no humanoids?
What does everyone else say about this? Why are some players so excited for Bloomburow?

In this post on Mark Rosewater's Tumblr page, a user made a reference to something, and Rosewater said "hats off to anyone who gets the reference," so what is that reference? Does anyone here know what that user was referencing?

Diabolic Revelation or …...
#5
I have a copy of Diabolic Revelation in my Sen Triplets EDH deck, although I am considering replacing it with a copy of Rune-Scarred Demon, since I like having a powerful 6/6 creature with flying, which I could potentially summon repeatedly, to use its ability multiple times.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Diabolic Revelation with Rune-Scarred Demon, or keep the sorcery in that deck?

DapperKava, since each enchantment triggers under different conditions, there should not be any confusion regarding which cost a player is paying.

How is Planar Nexus any different from Nearby Planet?

wallisface, Gidgetimer, you definitely are making well-reasoned points, at least about the game, but I most certainly know what is best for myself, and I would never allow anyone else to tell me what is best, for me, but that is, again, a subject for another thread.
As for fan-made cards, I agree that many of them are made by people who do not understand how this game works, but I still severely dislike the complete disconnect between the designers and players, a disconnect that exists in nearly every game ever made, and one that I dearly wish did not exist.

Gidgetimer, that is very good; thank you, very much.

I have both Sylvan Library and Angel of Jubilation in one of my decks, so does the library's ability bypass the angel's restriction? I presume that it does, since the angel prevents players from paying life to activate abilities, while the library's ability is a triggered ability.
What does everyone else say about this subject? Does Sylvan Library bypass Angel of Jubilation?

Also, SteelSentry, please forgive the double post, but how, exactly, are edicts the weakest form of removal, when they bypass hexproof, indestructible, and protection?

wallisface, I fully respect your opinion, and have no problem with it, but I do dislike how I seem to be the only user here who dislikes all the restrictions that WotC has been imposing upon the game, recently, as the fact that they design the game does not mean that they know what is best for it; we, the players, know what is best for the game, since we are the ones who play it, but that is a discussion for a different thread.
SteelSentry, the example that you provided is exactly the reason for which I am upset at the "non-token" restriction on the flare spells, but I am satisfied with all of the other examples that you provided, in addition to Pitiless Carnage and Baron Bertram Graywater (which, by the way, is one of the rare few instances in which I agree that the "once per turn" restriction is justified), so I am not too worried, at this moment, that WotC is restricting the options of the players.

TypicalTimmy, I did not have any particular format in mind when I designed this card, but I agree that perhaps it should be more expensive, so here is my new version of it:
Creative Destruction Show
What does everyone here think about this card, now?

Gidgetimer, that is ridiculous; why not have a normal print run for these sets? How can WotC be that greedy?

Have you considered Firemane Avenger, Firemane Commando, or Aurelia, the Law Above for this deck? All of those are amazing creatures, and should work very well with this deck's theme.

#17
Here is an idea for a card that I had, and that I wished to share with everyone else:
Creative Destruction Show
I originally had planned for this spell to cost , but I then decided that a powerful effect such as this should force the player to commit heavily to a red/blue deck, and I also had originally decided that a card with a powerful effect such as this should be a sorcery, but I then decided that it could be an instant with such a color-intensive cost.
I also do understand that this card's name implies that it should generate a token, rather than drawing cards, but this was the first name that I conceived, and I did not wish to waste time attempting to imagine a new name for the card, so I have chosen this name. What does everyone else think about this card?

wallisface, I am lamenting that because I fear that this may be a new trend: first, there was Sheoldred Flip, then, there was Rakdos, Patron of Chaos, and, now, there is this flare cycle, so I am worried that all sacrifice effects in the future, either voluntary or involuntary, may specify non-token permanents, which completely invalidates the purpose of token decks to produce disposable cannon fodder; Demand Answers gives me hope that the previous cards are rare exceptions, but I noticed that it specifies sacrificing an artifact, not a creature, and, until recently, it was far easier to generate creature tokens than artifact tokens, and also easier to reanimate creatures than artifacts, but we have already discussed this issue, so there is no need to discuss it, any further.

TypicalTimmy, I share your frustration at both Signature Spellbook and Commander Collection apparently benign cancelled, and the worst part of that is that WotC never explicitly confirmed that those product lines had been canceled, or for what reason, as they clearly expected everyone to simply forget about them.

I presume that Nulldrifter's card drawing ability is a cast trigger and not an enters-the-battlefield trigger to prevent players from abusing it, as they can with Mulldrifter?

#1I had also considered putting Unbound Flourishing in this deck, but this deck does not contain quite enough cards that synergize with that enchantment to justify including it in this deck.
