I'll be completely honest...I have played magic since 4th Edition. I played competitively for 2 years of that time(CHK-TSP). And I hated it. I always did well in what I played, mostly FNM which I alway T4'ed, but still not too much fun. Yet, for some reason as much as I dislike competitive Magic, every Pro Tour gives me a warm fuzzy feeling similar to the Super Bowl. I don't know why, I just love this aspect of Magic. I don't even have ambitions to play to play on the PT(mostly due to budgetary contraints) but still, its simply an amazing spectacle, that I love to behold.
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 don't see how Amrou Scout Puts Figure of Destiny into play.

The new play/draw rule is that in the Top 8, whoever has the higher rank decides who plays or draws instead of w/e else.

He probably got confused since both are Kithkins, and didn't see it only searches up Rebels.

Actually, I'd think Amrou Scout is the super-tech for an all-out with Mirror Entity, which is probably what Flores meant.

Why don't they get someone who knows what cards do. If scapeshift gets a misty rainforest it's tapped so you can't sacrifice it. If you can make a hoard of hasty pestermite tokens good players don't wait until the end of their opponents turn. Don't get me started on amrou scout. At least he mentioned how good and popular Punishing Fire/ Grove of the burnwillows is.
Good play is win more

Actually, what is the reason behind Amrou Scout in Kithkin? As near as I can tell, the only things it fetches are the singleton Bound in Silence and more Amrou Scouts. Is this "combo" really worth five slots in the deck?
