There's a vicious cycle of not updating LJ. I don't have time to say everything now, I'll have to wait until later. Later: Now even more has happened, and I

Looks really good. You should dominate R/B burn after boards. U/G aggro might get a fast start on you and keep you from Wrathing/Discing/Moating their creatures into the graveyard or irrelevance, but the fact that you have those three options to deal with creature heavy decks means you won't be screwed when your first one doesn't resolve. Magus + Hierarch = trade an elephant for a one-sided Wrath. Gemstone Mine is a card that I simply love, though I'm not sure how good it is in a deck that wants the game to go long. I'm not sure if anyone will be running it, but look out for Blood Moon--that'd put a crimp in your plans! :)

Oh, I get it! Gemstone Mine + Azorius Chancery = lots of use out of the Mines! Very tricky, running a land-only combo!

Yup, you got it! :-) And thanks for your comments - I'm also hoping that "Wrath you, Wrath you, Magus of the Disk, Moat follow-up" should be good enough vs. Every Creature Deck Ever. Let's hope!

Are you planning on going to States? Interested in testing/carpooling?

I've been thinking about going along with my friends, but I haven't a deck to play! If you are interested, I could put you in touch with them-- three of them are UVa students and they are thinking about running U/G aggro, (small budget) U/W control, and some sort of Izzetron-- I'm sure both you and they could benefit from testing together. The fourth guy goes to JMU and has been testing with them using MWS and he's going to run B/R burn.

Yeah, I'd be interested in playtesting Friday afternoon or night and maybe carpooling as well. Maybe you can put us in contact?
