I don't mind odd doubles in my box and I don't think Chad does either, because we both got pretty good boxes. The only thing I didn't get was at least one Warren Instigator. In fact, I haven't even seen one in person yet.

I didn't mind pulling doubles, it just bummed me out. I wish there was more variety to the box.

So here are the card that have made it into my 5-color deck:

Lands
Greypelt Refuge
Akoum Refuge
Kazandu Refuge
Sejiri Refuge
Jwar Isle Refuge
Emeria, the Sky Ruin
Skalding Tarn
Verdant Catacombs
(Need more fetches)

Creatures
Rampaging Baloths
Gatekeeper of Malakir
World Queller
Frontier Guide
Vampire Nighthawk
Obsidian Fireheart
Mold Shambler

Artifacts
Explorer's Scope
Expedition Map

Sorceries
Day of Judgment
Rite of Replication

Enchantments
Luminarch Ascension
Bloodchief Ascension

Oran-Rief Recluse didn't quite make the cut, I really couldn't find a place for a 6 mana removal spell.
Khalni Heart Expedition requires 2 mana to cast, and then 3 more lands have to come into play under your control before it does anything for you, so it didn't make it.

I'm not using Luminarch Ascension. I know it's good. I want to play it, but the problem is that when we do get a big multiplayer game going at school, they like to aim stuff at me just for fear of what I'm going to do.

Almost forgot, I'm going to add a Cosi's Trickster, because in multiplayer he will practically be a Tarmogoyf for U.

I get that too, but remember it triggers at each opponent's end step. It only needs 4 end steps before it gets stupid.

"This is stupidly silly in multiplayer. I am warning everyone I play against, if you play this stupid card against me in multiplayer, I will attack you and kill you, and I will enjoy it. I will also make fun of you for the entire game. I?m just saying."

This is exactly what happens too...Either that or it gets blown up right away.

Is it really that much more broken than say Wild Pair? And how many 1, 2, and 3 mana cards can easily remove this as a threat? I'm sure you are running some of them in any 5-color deck. And tokens aren't that scary either... Echoing Truth, Deed for 0, Explosives for 0, etc etc... is no more scary than any other scary card in a 5-color deck. Tinker is more frightening... Survival is more frightening...

Yay, it's one of those cards, the one where you get punched in the dick for playing... =/
