There's no "reply to comments" option, nor am I savvy enough to figure out how to send PMs on here, so forgive me for posting this to your profile wall.
To be fair, neither am I the OP of CCC, nor have I been contributing to it from even close to the beginning. I have found myself acting as unofficial moderator on there from time to time, but that's probably just because I'm an old dad who can't help but to ask for civility. I try not to be that guy too often.
IMHO, there's certainly a set of unwritten rules that have evolved in CCC (hereafter referred to as "the thread"). Being ninja'd is of course the most common, and it has been diligently withheld. The most egregious violations of the thread have been when someone trashes a previous entry and then doesn't even post something of their own to keep it moving, or like when one user in particular kept basically dismissing challenges with overtly bland, intentionally uncreative entries, that only mildly satisfied the challenges, just so that s/he could issue some kind of really dumb un-card challenge (like asking for beeble related cards every other post for multiple whole pages in a row, or spells that created umpteen million tokens with no downside, etc.).
Aside from those, I haven't been particularly offended by anything on the thread, and have experienced a lot of fun participating in it.
Having said all that, I feel like you have a valid point in objecting to users dictating future challenges. Generally speaking, if I posit a challenge with "make either a, b or c," I leave it up to the next person to decide if they want to pay the unchosen options forward. Either that, or I might add a tagline to the tune of "if you feel so inclined, post the other options as your challenge." In other words, leave it as a choice, not a mandate.
My only point in responding to your objection was to point out that it hasn't been uncommon for users on the thread to issue chain challenges. The cycle challenges are the most common, but aren't exclusive. That's all I was trying to say. It isn't unheard of, and in my opinion not enough of an abuse of the thread to call out.
Who am I, though. I'm not the thread's creator, I'm not an actual moderator, and I've only been on this site for a year now. Feel free to disagree, and you may be right in the end. My favorite element of the thread is that it is a community project that has predominantly remained civil and agreeable. Keep posting, keep tapping, and always feel free to point out when you feel like the sanctity of the thread is being compromised. I'll do the same.
Sorry for the gigantic post. Feel free to burn after reading.
Cheers!

i don't like to normally give hints
but if you do hit the button
Echo of Eons is your friend
don't hesitate to discard it or blow a tutor to get it
spamming it is part of the deck design
edit: im weird so my stuff plays weird

thank you for the kind words
the deck isn't my greatest
but nothing has rekindled my love of magic
like that feeling i get after beating someone down with a dragon
except for the look of "wtf" when Dragonstorm just ended the game.
playing like a timmy may not be the best but it is the most fun

Definitely need to pick up a VoS, you're quite right about that. I'm not sure about cutting the Chieftain--not a whole lot else guarantees my creatures not only survive combat but also push damage through.

Huatli, The Sun's Blood
Legendary Planeswalker - Huatli

+1 Create a number of 1/1 Green Dinosaur creature tokens equal to the number of Dinosaurs you control. If you have the City's Blessing, instead make that many 2/2 Green Dinosaur creature tokens with Trample instead.
-2 Draw a card for each nontoken Dinosaur you control. If you have the City's Blessing, instead draw a card for each Dinosaur you control.
-7 You get an emblem with "as long as you control ten or more permanents, Dinosaur creatures you control have Trample, Vigilance, and Lifelink".

There are three ways a permanent can be destroyed, as per rule 701.7b--
701.7b The only ways a permanent can be destroyed are as a result of an effect that uses the word “destroy” or as a result of the state-based actions that check for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g) or damage from a source with deathtouch (see rule 704.5h). If a permanent is put into its owner’s graveyard for any other reason, it hasn’t been “destroyed.”
As you can see, just using the word "destroy" puts the creature into the graveyard from play, without having to deal damage to it. And that's what Doom Blade does: destroy without damage. If a source deals noncombat damage, it says as much (for example, Lightning Bolt).

It's considered a new permanent, and the removal spell doesn't see it as the same thing it targeted. So the non-angel creature is not Beasted

I'd replace Menace with Flying. Off the top of my head, High Sentinels of Arashin, Abzan Skycaptain, Aven Tactician and Watcher of the Roost all symbolize how Aven are a part of the Abzan/Dromoka clan. As for Menace... other than it's a Black-Oriented ability... doesn't seem to fit.

sabisia first off, thanks for taking the time to read my primer. Second, thanks for bringing that point up. My best response is that... I messed up. You're right, the cost of activating a sac outlet it preliminary to priority being passed--I'll fix that immediately to a combat scenario with Eggs being blockers. Many gratuities!

Some of the stupid Staple-y ubiquitous-type ramp cards might do you good, if you want to be that type of deck--Plants with Eyes, Speedy Plants, Story Time with Plants, Plants Thrice Over, etc.

IDK, rituals are good in cEDH decks like Godo, but a bit unreliable otherwise. I personally like my ramp to stick around, and these days we have enough rocks that even mono R/W have enough. Rituals like Mana Geyser and Battle Hymn are the best because they provide game-winning amounts of mana when set up right, but generally the card disadvantage is prohibitive for this kind of card. I will say that having it be modal helps... but who's ever going to use the pump effect, really?
