I'm rather interested in the Sorcerer's Strongbox card. Must be an SoM preview, most likely rare, might even showcase a new keyword?

Niiiice deck. So $20 gets you Sundering Titan  , Lightning Greaves  , Lodestone Golem  , Master Transmuter  , Memnarch  and Magister Sphinx  ? That's actually rather good value. Surprised there's no Etherium Sculptor  s on board. Hopefully the other Archenemy decks are at this level of value and playability. That's probably the one thing that undid Planechase - the standard of the decks varied wildly. I wanted four of the black zombie deck, and wanted to burn all copies of the red/blue deck on sight.

@ Cadaverous Bl00m = there was no red/blue deck in Planechase. They were red-white and red-green, plus mono-black and gold/artifact. Re: Archenemy: I'll admit this one looks pretty good. No way am I getting all four Archenemy decks at the cost they go for, but I might tumble to one of them, and this seems like a candidate. The display window is odd - it seems to contain the actual card "Feed the Machine" plus a blown-up artwork of "The Pieces are Coming Together". As to the deck, Sundering Titan seems like a poor choice here since this deck has three colors of basic land in it, and the description of the other decks make it unlikely any of the others will have more. Granted they're not supposed to fight each other, but still, the chances are fairly good of you having to lose a land or two because your opponents might not contain any representatives of those lands. PS Monty, the autocard for Everflowing Chalice isn't working. (Neither is Sorcerer's Strongbox, but I assume that was intentional.) @ Cakeytastes: I doubt that the Strongbox is either rare (I count 8 rares in the deck already, 7 artifact creatures and March of the Machines) or features a new keyword (though I could be wrong on that one, they did have the Trap mechanic in Planechase, which isn't a keyword but could have been with a slight stretch). I'm anticipating that it may be a relative of Gustha's Scepter  or maybe a Synod Sanctum  for artifacts, but who knows at this point.
My New Phyrexia Writing CreditsMy M12 Writing CreditsAs far as the benefit of the rest of Magic is concerned, gold cards in Legends were executed perfectly. They got all the excitement a designer could hope out of a splashy new mechanic without using up any of the valuable design space. Truly amazing.

@ Cakeytastes: I doubt that the Strongbox is either rare
That's right. It's already spoiled. XD
Now, I think I'll definately get one of those. At least this one seems like a lot of fun. =D And it has an awesome ''I am so much stronger than all of you.''-flavor... Just, those names and flavor texts.

If I can find someone to trade one of my 4 Lodestone Golems with, I might get this one. Depends what is in the others, though.

Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?
Zis iz a sign uf deep psychological troma, buried in zer subconscious mind. By keelink himzelf, Kamahl iz physically expressink hiz feelinks uf self-disgust ova hiz desire for hiz muzzer. [/GermanPsychologistVoice]
That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

Looks like my type of deck. Full of blue and artifacts, specially Mirrodin block cards (my favourite block for its abundance of artifacts) and Esper cards (again, abundance of artifacts and blue). And now I can easily get Memnarch , the card I always wanted.
