nothing in the deck besides Gravecrawler, Geralf's Messenger, and Birthing Pod should be difficult to acquire
Really, what about the 3x Cavern of Souls at $30 a piece?!?!?!

I'm sure he was talking about his revamped budget version of the deck, which only uses 24 swamps for land.

"Entomber Exarch can be searched up the turn before our ramp opponent has access to six mana, hopefully plucking the only Primeval Titan out of his or her hand." Entomber Exarch specifically says "noncreature card"  P.S. @AngelDeath82, he made the deck mono black so there's no rare lands.

Fair enough, however, he put that line 2 paragraphs below the original list, well before he made the mono-black list without the Caverns...

So it's his fault you didn't read the article before jumping all over the guy?
If Wizards put hundred dollar bills in each pack, players would complain that they weren't folded right.

I would say Gloom Surgeon would also get in against Wurmcoil Engines. After all, a single Surgeon deals very efficiently with a single Engine, forcing the opponent to overextend and letting Sever the Bloodline have value.
Zindaras' meta is like a fossil, ancient and its secrets yet to be uncovered. Only men of yore, long dead, knew of it.

To be fair, Van Lunen didn't read the Entomber Exarch  before putting it in his deck.

Oh, it's not like I'm accusing JvL of being a terribly good builder. I'm just saying tht people should read the articles before they go about being all shouty and mad.
