Love that Volt Charge  deck. I think Chandra, the Firebrand  would work wonders with this deck though. Double the counters/damage without losing loyalty. Thoughts?

I agree with this. Chandra is being underplayed in my opinion.
Perhaps the problem is that the deck has no room for 4-drops that don't do anything until the following turn.

Name three characters from the television show Friends.
Wasn't that, um, a show? About people who seemed kind of frivolous for the, uh, thirty seconds or so I watched it before turning it off?
Name the characters? Wouldn't I have to care first?
(Sorry, I have nothing interesting to say about the decks. I just found his assertion that Characters Matter interesting when he used characters that seemed so totally uninteresting to me I never watched a full episode of the show in question to make his point. I guess the name "Chandler" does sound kind of familiar, but if you'd said it to me without context I wouldn't even have known what I'd heard it from.)

No you don't, it's very easy to not care for them, not watch a single episode and still know the names.
Paris Hilton would be a prime example of somebody lots of people will know without caring about.

Fair enough, but Paris Hilton's one person. I don't know anything about anything associated with her really, and wouldn't be able to name any of her friends, associates, or social circle because I don't care.
He asked us to name three characters on a show. In order to name three, I'd have to be invested enough to care about the characters enough to know more than one.
I suppose if he'd been asking about Shakespeare or something that's endured in popular culture over time, people could be like "Uh... Hamlet... Othello... King Lear... but I don't really know who they were or what they did... um Hamlet was like crazy or maybe he wasn't or something right?"
One sitcom I'm not so sure has that enduring The Characters Are What Make It Real he's going for.

So who's using Olivia Voldaren to the point where her price shot up from $5 to $15? I haven't seen her in any of the top decks. Granted, I think she's a good card, but the vampiric Memnarch requires a lot of mana to be useful and she doesn't seem viable in constructed tournaments. I did pull her in draft and she's an absolute bomb there.
Edit: I should mention that Volt Charge + Olivia = win. I'd love to seen some new competitive R/B vampire decks, especially with all the +1/+1 counters and Volt Charge. Maybe Dark Ascension will give us something juicy.
