I like the look of the decks, very silly and fun-looking combos here. But what I really wanted to say is THANK YOU for the Arcade Fire pun! Made me laugh out loud.

Another vote here for a Return to Kamigawa! :D I loved the setting with its weird-looking spirits, awesome ogres, and superior Moonfolk, and I think a less parasitic and gimmicky Kamigawa block could turn out great.

I so want to build a deck just like that Psychic Overload  deck, only completely different.
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.

I'm not sure how the Worldslayer/Faith's Reward combo would work. If you play Faith's Reward in response to Worldslayer's ability, then you would not get any permanents back since it would resolve first. And if you wait for Worldslayer's ability to resolve, then you are unable to cast Reward, since mana pools empty at end of each phase and step.
Edit: That is unless you had a Wellspring in play.

Worldslayer's ability resolving does not forcefully bring the step to a close. Once the stack empties, you still get a chance to do things (otherwise, you would run into a hard limit of 2 sorcery-speed spells per turn!)

Seems like now is the perfect time to try that all artifacts deck. I'd given up on making it work a while back, but with the additions from M13 and Avacyn Restored maybe, just maybe. Nobody is running enough artifact hate to make much of a dent in it, and there is an artifact available for just about everything at the moment. Can run 4 copies each of Ghost Quarter, Cathedral of War, Inkmoth Nexus and Cavern of Souls with no worry about mana base issues. Gotta get to brewing!

I would also like to go back to Kamigawa in the future.
