I figure it was the same guys who were responsible for the ZEN/SoM standard Future Future League.

Actually, you'll find Intro Decks have this Guidesheet of rules of what they can and can not do. Seriously, this article from the Game Designer Challenge is pretty close to the list of restrictions they have to play with. As such, Intro Decks are horrible places to start in tournament magic, due to wacky requirements, and the goals of being Fun over Competitive. This is partly the reason why they create Event Decks, so that they can have a semi-competitive build that players can pick up and add to based on the FFL. The event deck lists are marginally better, and you can walk away with feeling you have a chance before the format has been solidified. At this point in time, however, a handful of Goblin and Human token generation cards and a Burn at the Stake will win you the game, so on the bright side, you can pretty much play whatever you want for the next week or two.

I find it interesting how the deck lists they made up as an intro for new players all have multiple $20ish cards. The cheapest of those 5 decks is either Rakdos with 4 Blood Crypt  , 2 Dreadbore  , and 1 Rakdos, Lord of Riots  , or Azorius with 4 Hallowed Fountain  , Supreme Verdict  , Sphinx's Revelation  , and Isperia, Supreme Judge  .

those are mighty expensive mana bases for really terrible decks. It's like putting new shoes on a pile of crap. well, at least they'll suck consistently.
I would have killed, literally ended someones life, to NOT have Arrogant Bloodlord  riding a giant ant... Good times: Spoiler:

but where DID the other fork come from?

Lord_Zed:
I was at my friends house when this happened. He's married and his wife was an excellent baker. She had baked a homemade apple pie the night before.
I was hungry, and my friend convinced me to try those low carb monster drinks. Before this day, I had never triend energy drinks before.
Boy was I in for a treat.
When I tried that first monster, I really enjoyed the flavor, but the taste that it left in my mouth wasn't so good. What was my solution? Drink another!
before I could finish drinking that 2nd monster, I felt it already kicking in(these drinks were not very far apart, we're talking minutes here) my friend decided that it was a good idea to whip out that fresh pie his wife made the night before. I didn't know what to do, since I felt incredibly invigorated, and at the same time, freaked out by the rush I was feeling, but I was also hungry, and my friend have me an entire plate with a fork and said "help yourself." He extended his saucer to me, and I cut him a piece of the pie and handed it to him, then I looked at the pie, noticed that the pie was in an aluminum holder, and dumped the entire pie onto my plate and started eating it with 2 forks. I don't know where I found that other fork, it probably came from my friend. Anyhow, his wife wasn't happy, and I was already in magical christmas land. 2 days later, I was in my friends bed and I slept for 14 hours.
His wife outlawed my from having any of her baked goods for a while(which sucked because I could just show up at there house, steal some sweets, and leave) and said I couldn't have any energy drinks at her house, unless under close watch.
My friend, on the other hand, had to take me out to a steak dinner, because apparently I won a bet where I climbed a tree and didn't die.
The great land debate:

Zendikar had fetchlands, and Worldwake had manlands. What are the new Scars duals called?
Explosive Peanut Lightning lands. Well, that's just what I call them.
i'm just trying to figure out what the point of saying this is. it's just really random.
And so the pot met the kettle.

The Rakdos deck probably comes closest to being playable (because it's REALLY hard to screw up Rakdos).

At least when the people realize they are bad decks, they will have shocklands to play better decks with.
