That new Lotus Cobra is super sick. I want three for my Vintage Gush deck (which I refuse to play at the moment due to metagame issues, but it's still there!).
I'll get one at GP Atlanta and try to trade for the others.

If you are going to go for "budget" pimp basics, look into the Arena/APAC or Euro Islands. Much classier than FBB IMO, and still pretty budget friendly.
(disclaimer-I use a mix of Euro and Arena 2003 islands, I don't own a Guru Island yet but I am hoping to win one this weekend in a local event).

But can they actually get the rules right this time around? Manual land tapping is great, but will there be an end step? Will sacrifice effects work on creatures with protection? Will "may" effects still be written as "must" effects? I could go on and on...
I threw up a thread in Gaming for the announcement, because why not? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=469305
Wait, question for the people who read the novels and stuff.
What's up with Bolas?
How did he lose his old school planeswalking power? Or did everyone just depower after the rifts on Dominaria were fixed in Time Spiral?
If so, why did a bunch of other planeswalkers have to die as well?

Every oldwalker lost their immortality (and some other powers) after the mending; most of the other planeswalkers eventually died of old age or died sealing a rift.

Okay, so I was right about NPH booster boxes, but apparently I wasn't the only one. The LCS was sold out of those. Too slow. 
So...wolf deck. I know I need huntmaster, and I know this deck is weak but I feel it has some real potential. Any suggestions?

Was talking to my friend who is convinced that there'll be a new planeswalker called "Dack Fayden" and that he'll be blue/red.
In which case I am excited because I've been thinking about doing a blue/red deck. I really want to find a use for Charmbreaker Devils in a standard constructed deck

If Wizards hasn't been furiously developing this for the past year or so they are the worst company ever.
Not that they have a particularly great track record with making digital stuff in a timely fashion. *glances at DnD Virtual Tabletop*

- Why only one Incinerate?
- Darkthicket is actually kind of lackluster
- Drop trepanation blades, it's really only good for limited
- Deck would lose steam very fast, and I think it's not as a strong as White Weenie.

Yeah, kind of figured. There just doesn't seem to be a way to really build around the wolfs at the moment. There could be a couple, like Young Wolk and Immerwolf...maybe, maybe even Kessig, but overall they're too weak.
WanderingWind

Yeah, werewolfs seem easier, but I wanted to play with my puppies deck.
It gets destroyed way, way too much...lol.

Cards you don't want to play in constructed:
Darkthicket Wolf
Trepanation Blade (this isn't good in limited either)
Kessig Wolf
Crushing Vines (maybe sideboard)
Young Wolf, the new green 1 drop werewolf is much better
Prey Upon (with the creatures you are playing you are going to 2for1 yourself with it nearly all of the time) More burn instead
You don't need 4 Wolf Runs as you don't care about multiples, run 2 or 3 instead.
Instead I'd go for more burn, 4 Moonmist, 4 drops (obviously Huntmaster if you can, but the Shaman and Instigator Gang are both good as well as 2-3 ofs). 4 Reckless Waif and Wolfbitten Captive instead of Young Wolf.
Also good equipment, unfortunately only Swords are really good for werewolves. Butcher's Cleaver is an OK budget option.

Agreed. Trying to remote desktop MTGO just doesn't work as well.

What? Everytime someone runs one in my group its frequently a game-ending card. Stick that bad boy on a flyer and its not unusual to swing for eight plus damage.
It is too random and can easily backfire. If you hit a land you've thinned their deck, or you could hit flashback cards and just give them card advantage. Not consistent at all. All cards with that many words on are either broken or not very good, this is definitely the latter.

Yeah, so bottom line, the deck is a holy mess (I knew that) and without stripping the wolf identity.
AVR better come with something wolfy, dammit!

It doesn't have any flip cards so I doubt it. I think it's going to be mostly angels demons and humans.
It looks more like a spirit wolf thing. Given the rest of the set I'd think it would more spirits (the deck is G/U and blue already has loads) but I might be wrong.

speculation of permanent werewolves. specially with all the talk of former enemies being allies, and a picture of some werewolves being subdued.
WanderingWind
Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
Yeah, but I want wolf wolfs not werewolfs.
On the inverse, by U/B zombies are tearing stuff up. Pretty happy with it, and it's a budget deck to boot!
Post it, being kicking around the idea myself!
Nah, it's not a spirit it just has a misty aura surrounding his body that looks almost exactly like the aura eminating from the werewolves being subdued by the angel in the AVR trailer.
There are most likely going to be 1-sided werewolves in AVR, especially considering the WW legend/pack leader is supposedly stuck in WW form anyway.
For reference to what I was talking about:
http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showpost.php?p=8189294&postcount=277
All I know is, Gravedigger + Mortarpod is such an ownage combo. I tried testing Skirsdag High Priest in the U/B Zombies deck and while it's easy to trigger morbid, I feel it slows downs the deck a bit by needing to keep 2 creatures untapped. This deck is more aggro so I rather constantly be swinging.

I keep going back and forth between Reckless Waif and Wolfbitten Captive for my 1-drop in my werewolf deck. My red has basically been reduced to splash for Huntmaster (only have one), Immerwolf and Daybreak Ranger's ability, so I'm using the captive at the moment.
I'm betting on at least one no-flip G/R werewolf, since the tribe hasn't gotten a legendary yet.
Whoops, just saw Zethren's post. What he said.

So, the two outliers, Disciple and Bump in the night aren't usually how the deck looks. I think I'm going with 2 Bumps. Disciple is handy for tragic slip, but so is motarpod.

Is it really worth splashing blue just for Diregraf Captain, especially with all that BBB? I've had a few geeky debates with a friend over that one.
WanderingWind
Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
Yes. Yes it is. I've never had that particular mana issue, and the quick bulk up is necessary with zombies, I've found. You have to hit hard, fast or you're stuck treading water.
Also, if Automaton doesn't come back in M13, I am so screwed. It's the center piece for like, 3 decks.
6 islands is overkill though, drop a few and put some evolving wilds in there, or more dual lands. I'd also drop automaton for Cemetary Reapers.
WanderingWind
Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
If I ever really run into that issue, I'll check it out for sure, but generally I don't really like playing with cards that take an extra step to be more useful than something vanilla. I know many people like sac lands...I just never really saw the point. I'd rather just have the mana on board now, rather than next turn.

I agree with your sentiment on EW, but if you don't have access to more dual lands it might not be a bad idea.
What is the name of that obnoxious zombie enchantment that sacs non-zombies. I hate that fucking card. I don't think there's another card I dread more when playing zombies.
