With bloodmoon designs, it's always a good idea to place the dual capacity on the "mountainside", meaning that all your duals should contain red. Then split your fetchlands up so they can either get both of the other colors or one other color and a mountain.

Sort of like in this deck:

If you take a look at the forums, a growing number of are discovering that they can't delete decks.
If those with something to hide panicks, then I suspect there will be a full freeze where decks can't be added, deleted or altered.

Copy/pasting is currently hit by a few bugs as gary is making some odd moves at the moment.

The hardest thing at the moment is actually deleting your posts.
There are now some very strict rules in play for what can be deleted.
Some of them even changed while I deleted stuff yesterday.

I decided to do a cleaning sweep in preparation of some new tech when I discovered that some of my posts refused to be deleted.

I sort of took that as a challenge because this "new puzzle" was suddenly in my way.

I figure that there might be two reasons why it's been put up.

1: people a tired of the trolls and have started to delete their own pages to deny them that their own prized memories get mangled by those vultures.

2: gary is taking a look at troll decks.

I believe it's a bit of both, because those of my decks that seemed to be most "troll like" in nature were really really hard to delete.

I sort of got caught up in the spirit of cleaning up my stuff and solving a new puzzle, so I went really into it as a challenge.

Now I got 0 decks, but I know a lot more ;)

Ever considered library of leng to solve that?
Once ancestral is in your hand you can either self discard it via liliana or even ordinary discard, or you can connive it...
Then you put it on top and play shardless.

Noone expects that move ;)
You can even save keycards from liliana so you can play her more reckless.

Jace and liliana were quite the couple back then.
Creeping tar pit was part of decks like these.

Vryns prodigy quickly fell out of favor.

You are also missing the "big trick" of that time, cascading into ancestral memories.
Ofcourse you needed to set up for the cascade, but I think ledger might help you there.

There's a pretty new creature that let's you choose between a +1/+1 counter or a basic land search, with which you can either ramp or go aggro with pollenbright.

Memes are okay, but think of the memes you could create by doing truly great stuff.

I just took out modern cheerios with my "counterlings & regenerate" THREE TIMES IN A ROW...
If that ain't material enough for a new meme, I don't know what is...

Ambition can lead to some of the funniest memes in the world, just think "funny people fall"
Sometimes they fail in spectacular ways, sometimes they succeed in even more spectacular ways.

You can both be ambitious and play hilarious cards.

Just recently I played grazing kelpie, and a few games later the only card we could find that sawed my ass was trapjaw kelpie. My friends been urging me to go for a kelpie tribal, I can laugh at that.

There's an ever growing list of really odd cards in my project, bearer of memory and vivien's grizzly were cards my friend suggested because of my urso-phobia, and admittedly they've been great. vigorspire wurm, paragon of modernity (hey, you could use that one) snakeform.

By being much more ambitious, the cards actually manages to become much more memorable.

Fun is fun, but seriousness can take fun to a whole new dimension.

Imagine the face of my friend when I beat the cheerios deck for the third time in a row...

I mean I utterly defeat him by playing a faerie or a caustic Caterpillar on turn one, and following up with spellstutter or piracy charm combined with gut shot, stuff like that.

Cheerios is defeated not only by the cards but the playstyle. For example, to avoid getting my regenerators killed I primarily play faeries, and in a pinch I play a caustic Caterpillar in the Hope's that the opponent will take out these first. As a result, my gameplay is really screwing cheerios up.

Part of that problem might be because most of your "counterbearers are so high cost.
Noosegraf mob and pentavus does restrain you.

Bioshift only works within the same owner.
Don't you want to steal counters from decks like affinity :)

Heh...

Transfer fate.

I don't know how you keep on forgetting it ;)

Bloom hulk is also a pretty neat 4/4 beater for 4 mana, that proliferate.

In other words:
It only works if the opponent can't play the cards.
So a deck like affinity is going to have a party

By the way, the view nest is by far the most fragile, because anyone becoming aware of a highly used view "number" become curious and view a few, ruining the thing.
They got much more solid nests in other searches.

Sometimes you just have to search for a key phrase to find them.
When I accidentally stumbled on deckname: std
The trolls stopped using it, waiting until I've forgotten about it.

Use several sites to check on prices.
Price manipulation via sites isn't impossible, so just to be on the safe side...

Here's a list of odd stuff on mtgvault and other sites

It does. 8 ciphers or so.

Trolls constantly send messages, and there was the odd chance that you were a troll sending a message.

The "message" as I saw it, was the location of a trolls nest as well as an empty location.

They use views as a way to store interesting spam and personal decks.
It's a neat backup system.

If you use the search engine to find decks containing exactly 1234 views you will be able to see what a nest looks like. Just don't look at too many of the decks, as this will ruin their neat collection.

The trolls got an automated viewer, probably a homemade program that clicks and move the mouse to generate the number of views they want.

A few others have spotted "odd view counts" and I'm writing a post about it for my conspiracy collection.

You had a number for your deckname.
They show when you build "openly"
Open builders are usually part of the trolls in here, because when there were more people in here it was a constant bother.
You see trolls would often post unfinished decks to lure people into commenting on it.
It also has a second use, sending messages.

And what a message.
Lots of love.
But love is a fickle thing.
It can fade away.

It's funny how some people somehow know when others are going to post a bunch of decks, and then que up to wait posting exactly the time you stop posting :)

I looked at the art and the flavortext of all the cards,
And thematically you mostly depict the "good" side of kaladesh.
It is such a beautiful concept.

You might want to look up the "masterpieces" a series of classical modern cards with kaladeshian art on them, some of which might fit your deck as a whole.

A small idea for your theme.

You could have the mainboard depict the good side of kaladesh, but if it is possible your sideboards pieces should depict kaladesh at its worst, it will be symbolic of the changes wrought by having to adjust to your enemies decks.
