Hah, I feel vindicated in calling that Burning Tree Emmisary would make play. It didn't get a lot of attention on reveal but it looks like almost every deck running RG has some.
Also Color Choice is up. I don't want it to be blue just because any interesting effect on a blue enchantment is 100% going to be overcosted. I think something really interesting in black or green might work though

Voted black as well. It has the most options as far as alternate costs are concerned for more interesting effects (sacrificing creatures, paying life, etc).
splashing green for farseeks and fogs (including a 3cmc variant fog) is the funniest fucking thing I've seen in competitive magic
also, I vote for Humility to be reprinted.
Simic colors.
In standard.
1UUG.
Oh, good - that was the deck (with the Counterflux->Dissipate) change I was going to run. Good to see it still putting up results.
stop playing good decks in standard
wait for m14, then play battle of griselbrand wits + those demon guys that fetch bigger demon guys + faith's reward.
immortal servitude too. All the jank combo decks in one hugeass stack of pink dragon shields.
lol no.

Well, when you don't have fetchlands, you have to make do with something.

I'm torn. I want to vote Red because it's my favorite color, but I also want to vote White for Bruna EDH deck, which is the whole reason I switched to Enchantments in the first place.
And Seismic Assault! And I think that's about it, though Volcanic Strength has been seeing some play.

Okay say I put down experiment one on turn one, turn 2 I put down timberland wolf and evolve triggers. If I put down another timberland wolf, does it come out already buffed by the first and trigger evolve again?
Assuming you're talking about Timberpack Wolf, yes. The buff it gets is a static ability so it will be in effect as soon is it enters.

Short answer: yes
The evolve trigger will go on the stack after the 2nd wolf hits the battlefield. By this time, the wolf sees his buddy, has his +1/+1 bonus, and fulfills the requirements for your Exp. 1 to evolve again.

Thanks! And yes, timberpack, I knew that didn't sound right
None of those are as broken as Oath of Druids, Necropotence, Dream Halls, Omniscience, Moat, etc.
Goblin Bombardment comes to mind as well.
Well it's not like this create-a-card is going to be close to any of those either.

We do. I'm trying to trade away ...well, nearly everything, at the moment.
Only the first 2 can be considered broken. Sneak Attack is easily better than the others.

I still think Omniscience stands up there with Sneak Attack. I have a hard time thinking of a more powerful effect, and there are always ways to cheat that shit in.

I agree. In a vacuum, I believe this to be stronger than Dream Halls and Omni.
Not sure about moat though

Should we start a GAF trades Google doc or something?
We could put that shit into a spreadsheet and filter stuff!
Isn't that already called Scrambleverse?
The card is going to be bad just because enchantment won, I don't care about it any more. Hope all you EDHers are happy

White and Black probably have the greatest chance of actually being something not-crazy-wacky and not-overcosted. Green is on the edge as well I feel, and I voted for green because if it does end up going wacky-crazy it will probably be something involving resource manipulation, and those are my favorite kind.

I started a google doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnM16vwtxEBSdDBQWTc3RVd1cHdtMElqeDZCMXk0QkE&usp=sharing
Send me a PM with your email if you want editing rights. I think this is a good way to organize it since filtering allows us to just append cards and still be able to look at things in an orderly fasion. Feel free to suggest a different way of doing this or changes.
EDIT: I didn't realize filters don't work for viewers. NOOOO. Should I just hide the link and allow everyone editing rights?

Don't want to step on anybody's toes but what about deckbox.org? I've used it for over a year and it's really convenient for both managing collections and trading. Quickly set up a community in case anybody wants to signup and join.
http://deckbox.org/communities/neogaf
It's pretty barebones but I could get a subforum set up for trading if there's interest. Just toss me a pm with your deckbox username when you sign up and I'll toss an invite.

A really awesome thing that Gruul can do is on turn 2 vomit a whole bunch of burning tree emissaries. 4 of them would be great along with more flinthoof boars since they're 3/3 for 2 mana most of the time.
Regarding the guildgates I'm not sure if their manafixing is worth the tempo loss. You really want to be playing your stuff fast, and guildgates always slow you down by a turn.
You should definitely consider putting those burn spells in. When your creatures run into a wall you'll need the burn spells to nudge your opponent down to 0. Also, burn spells clear a path for your creatures.

Thanks,
Yeah I'm looking for more Burning Tree Emissaries, I think two of my friends each have one so I'm going to see if I can trade them. I also REALLY wish I had some Ghor Clan Rampagers but neither myself nor any of my friends happens to have any...

Probably not broken but I'd settle for extremely good. Crucible of Worlds is an incredibly good card that came from YMTC.
Have you guys played against a proper Dream Halls deck? I mean if it resolves it's pretty much game over. Sneak Attack is very good and definitely too good for what it costs by today's standards but it doesn't flat out win you game when cast.
True it's powerful but by itself it's a 3 card combo, at least, whereas sneak attack is 2 card. Dream Halls is also a 5 drop which can be a long time to cast considering only 1 sol land can accelerate into it.
