All Hallow's Eve  should have two triggered abilities. Its printed text said "when you remove the last counter". It also should not use scream counters, since Endless Scream  uses that kind. I suggest night counters.
How about Pumpkin counters?

Shouldn't Soltari Guerrillas  Ability be Whenever Soltari Guerrillas assigns combat damage to an opponent, you may have it deal that damage to target creature instead.
instead of  : The next time Soltari Guerrillas would deal combat damage to an opponent this turn, it deals that damage to target creature instead.

No; a triggered ability wouldn't resolve quick enough, and static abilities can't target.
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

Glancing over the thread I didn't see this yet, so:
In Redirect  's reminder text the "—Jace Beleren, to Garruk Wildspeaker" quote attribution is not italicized.
That's a display bug in Gatherer. The Oracle database does not contain flavor text.

Uh... what? I'm not sure at which Gatherer you're looking, because the one at which I'm looking definitely does include flavour text...

I suspect you and Del are using terms differently. To you and me, "gatherer" and "the oracle database" are essentially synonyms, but from her perspective they may be distinct. My guess is that the former is the web page that you and i interact with, while the latter is an actual database (eg, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or ... Oracle) which contains rules text (but not flavor text) of cards. The Gatherer website then aggregates data from multiple sources, including the oracle database, but also including whatever database stores flavortext.

Ah, yes, I suppose that would make sense. I was thinking database like what we see on the Gatherer, not the database specifically for rules text.

Dire Wolves  are in Oracle as costing 2G, not 3G!
