Regarding Walking Atlas - I think it would mean much to the audience of this site if the omission could be explained. This kind of thing didn't happen in a LONG time...
It's pretty cool to see a misprint make it through to production, even though this is a relatively unexciting one. Back when I started playing, Serendib Efreet was much cooler because of being printed with the wrong color border (I had never seen an Ifh-Biff so that part of the misprint was lost on me). It makes the game more interesting when this kind of thing happens from time to time.
As a longtime Sligh player, I would just like to point out that the "Worldwake Sligh" deck does not, in fact, have a Sligh curve. Which is not to say it isn't powerful, merely that it isn't Sligh.
I also question the wisdom of using 12 lands which will always come into play tapped (and another 4 that might) in a deck that is supposed to be fast and aggressive.
the original sligh, whose entire worth is in its concept of using every mana available every turn, had twice that many 1 drop dudes. considering this is a goblin deck on top of being a sligh deck, i'm really confused by the ommission of goblin guide. it seems like an odd choice to mess with the curve of a deck whose entire basis IS its curve when there's a really good on curve creature that is also in theme.
For linking a card to Gatherer without writting the name of said card for readers, use the autocard brackets together with and equal sign and right the name of the real card. Then put the message you want inside the tags, like you would do with autocarding. Like this:
I like storm crow because I really like crows in real life, as an animal, and the card isn't terribly stupid, but packs a good deal of nostalgia and also a chunck of the game's history. So it's perhaps one of the cards I have most affection to, but not because "lol storm crow is bad hurr hurr durr".
Although I do assume you deliberately refer to them (DCI) as The Grand Imperial Convocation of Evil just for the purposes of making them sound like an ancient and terrible conspiracy.
Now, now. 1994 doesn't quite qualify as "ancient".
Oh, it's a brilliant plan. You see, Bolas was travelling through shadowmoor, causing trouble, when he saw a Wickerbough Elder with its stylin' dead scarecrow hat. Now, Bolas being Bolas took the awesome hat and he put it on his head, but even with all his titanic powers of magic he couldn't make it fit. He grabbed some more scarecrows, but then a little kithkin girl asked if he was trying to build a toupee. "BY ALL THE POWERS IN THE MULTIVERSE!" he roared, "I WILL HAVE A HAT WORTHY OF MY GLORY." and so he went through his Dark Lore of Doom (tm) looking for something he could make into a hat that would look as stylish on him as a scarecrow does on a treefolk. He thought about the Phyrexians, but they were covered in goopy oil that would make his nonexistant hair greasy. He Tried out angels for a while but they didn't sit quite right. Then, he looked under "e" (because in the Elder Draconic alphabet, "e" for Eldrazi is right next to "h" for Hat) in his Dark Lore of Doom and saw depictions of the Eldrazi, and all their forms. "THIS SHALL BE MY HAT!" he declared, poking a picture of Emrakul, "AND WITH IT I WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS -- ER, I MEAN A NEW AGE OF FASHION!"
And so Nicol Bolas masterminded the release of the Eldrazi.
The last couple days have been roughly every perverse fetish imaginable, but it only got "creepy" when speculation on Mother of Runes's mob affiliation came up?
I like to think up what I consider clever names for my decks, only later to be laughed at by my wife. It kills me a little on the inside, but thats what marriage is about.
Of course, the best use [of tolaria west ] is transmuting for the real Tolaria.
Absolutely. I used to loose to my buddy's Banding deck for ages, it was then that I found out about Tolaria , and I was finally able win my first game.
Browbeat is a card that is an appropriate deck choice when there's no better idea available. "No better idea available" was pretty much the running theme of Odyssey era.
Modern is like playing a new tournament every time : you build a deck, you win with it, don't bother keeping it. Just build another, its key pieces will get banned.
I always find it helpful when im angry to dress up in an owl costume and rub pennies all over my body in front of a full body mirror next to the window.

Playing Magic without Blue is like sleeping without any sheets or blankets. You can do it...but why?

Me: "I love the moment when a control deck stabilizes. It feels so... right." Omega137: "I like the life drop part until you get there, it's the MtG variant of bungee jumping"

Just do it like Yu-Gi-Oh or monkeys: throw all the crap you got at them and hope it works or else the by-standers (or opponents) just get dirty and pissed.
Normally it's difficult to pick up on your jokes/sarcasm. But this one's pretty much out there. Good progress. You have moved up to Humanoid. You'll be Human in no time.
The Green/Blue one especially. What's with all the Zendikar cards, I want more Worldwake in my intro-pack. Black is impressive, though, with its 2 rares.
I'm going to go ahead and assume that some day a wizards employee is going to come by and see this (demonstrating my noobness here, I know): Could we please, please. PLEASE have the decklist viewer use the latest version of a card rather than the oldest (which is apparently what it's doing at the moment)?
