The ability will use the stack but you can't use that the way you think you can.
The ability itsself puts 2 lands into play at the same time which does give you 2 triggers per bloodghast in the graveyard. But if you let the first trigger resolve and bloodghast returns to play, the second trigger becomes useless because the game doesn't recognize that bloodghast anymore as being the same one who was triggered earlier.
Compare it to somebody trying to terror your creature and in response you play Momentary Blink . The terror doesn't happen anymore because your creature has switched zones and since then has become a different object for the game.
Amulet of vigor does work like you think it does because the land doesn't change zones in between the resolution of triggers. It is the zone changing that can be confusing but you could think of it like this: The game sees something somewhere (a card in play, your hand, your graveyard) as an object that came to that place at a certain time in the game. If it leaves that zone and goes somewhere else and comes back again, it doesn't recognize it as the exact same card with the same triggers and effects on it as before it left because to the game it came to that zone at another time (making it different).

got it.
atleast now I can understand where they've gone wrong now, and will know not to make a similar mistake.

I wonder how that Walls deck would be if we snuck in Doran? You could do without the Cradle, since most of your creatures would get a huge "bump" from Doran.
It'd be a R/u/g deck. Eventually you'd be replaying Hellion every turn. But before that you'd have a turn in which you Treasure Hunt'ed your hand full of 10 or 20 lands plus that Conflagrate. You'd play the Conflagrate for whatever you can. Then flash it back by discarding 12 or 13 lands. (You can even get it into your graveyard by paying 0 for X, thus you'd need + . Anything else is bonus.)
Next turn, if they aren't dead yet, you'd start the Blitz.
Why no Draco instead of the wurm in the last deck? It actually costs more mana... And I liked the decks, nice ideas. If there were a way to turn the last deck into an endless machine gun, returning the exiled cards to your library. Nice article!
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?

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.
