Is anyone else having a problem viewing the card links that they submitted? The area widens to make room for a picture, put no image appears.

Ah, thanks so much! I didn't put 1 and 1 together. I was freaking out and updating everything lol.

Now that the Gatherer is up again...

I found the majority of the Intro Decks lack-luster, but the blue one stuck out to me quite a bit. Sphinx, Leviathan, Crystal Ball, ... lots of "good stuff." I wonder if this is a clever ploy to get even more people addicted to blue.

Blue and Green both look like great ways to get cards, IMO.  Both decks look like they have a lot of solid stuff and I'll probably be happy with M11 if I buy nothing more than 2 of each.

White and Red both seem decent enough, though White in particular seems lacking and suffers from a lot of cards that are easy to get a lot of other ways or just not that exciting.  I was really hoping for some Black/White Knight action with an Exemplar here.  Red is a great source of Lightning Bolts, but again doesn't have a ton of cards I'm really excited about (or when it does, has only 1 of them).

Black  disappoints me the most.  The good stuff comes in singles and the mediocre-bad stuff comes in triples, making it a tough sell for me as a single purchase or in doubles.

Three Bolts!
I'd never thought I see the day when I'd be happy to drown in piles of a common, but it's actually happened.  Bolt is one of those few stellar commons where offering someone a dozen is usually a decent trade.




There are a few commons like this for me where I don't care how many copies of the card I own I always want more. terramorphic expanse and evolving wilds are up there for me. I build a lot of decks and I only use the rare mana fixing for my good decks. Then of course there's  lightning bolt . It's true when they say "you can never have too many".

I said so somewhere else but I'd _really_ like to see Phylactery Lich and Knight Exemplar as wallpapers, soon !

The tie-in is kinda cheesy and all, but the actual cards mechanics wise are all pretty sweet.
I like fun, but competitive decks.  So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

I dig Distract and Enthrall.  I wouldn't bet against either of those eventually becoming real cards.

Drake Stone looks pretty unlikeable in Distract and Enthrall; I guess he's a rival or villain. The resemblance to Tony Wonder from Arrested Development (in both appearance and attitude) is uncanny! 

That aside, I like the actual cards, especially Distract.
