Zuckerberg Test

Everyone that watched "The Social Network" will appreciate this post. And for those that dont know, Mark Zuckerber,creator of Facebook, got drunk after being rejected by a so so looking chick and created a site called facesmash.com. And on that site he used all the hacked information he gathered from various colleges on in the east coast and compared girls based on looks, kinda like HotOrNot.com.
The way Zuckerburg wrote down notes for the FaceSmash website was in quick, small bursts of notes and thats what i am going to try to replicate here.
I do alot of brainstorming at work and for this particular idea, i ended up with a ton on notes...so here we go!

can anyone actually tell my why Kargan dragonlord is priced at what it is? Mono Red hasnt really established itself and he doesnt really fit into a deck...

Why isnt Gaea's revenge seeing more play? there are Ramp decks and Summoning trap decks and there arent any being played main deck from what i can tell...

LOL, Chapin said Wall of Omens was bad, right now i am pretty sure that Wall of Omens is good. Its good becuase everyone took it out of their decks and now decks like goblins are being played and where are the walls now? Now that people have realized that Overgrown Battlement is good(Surprise surprise people), you can now ramp with Battlement and draw a card from Omens...seems good....

People keep saying that WW Quest is bad...why? it requires you to devote your hand to getting Armor, but if you look at whats being played, your more likely to achieve victory than failure. How many ramp decks are there out there? RUG, Eldrazi green,G/w Ramp...seems good. Plus not many people can counter you becuase NOBODY PLAYS SPELL PIERCE.

On that note, why the fuck isnt anyone playing spell pierce? it seems like Myself, Jon Medina(@mtgmetagame) and Mike Flores (@fivewithflores, @floresrewards) are the only people that can appriciate the greatness of that card. if you go to your FNM or play your MTGO dailies, play what ever the fuck deck you want but pay attention to how much you tap out and how often your opponent taps out to play something huge...thing slap yourself in the face for not playing Spell Pierce.

As much as i dont want to say this, but Gerry T is fuckin legit...

Pyromancer Ascension is a great card and has so much potential. why arent people playing this card more and trying more appilcations around the card. Black seems good? Memoricde twice? doomblade twice?? duress, IOK, Smother, Mind rot....the list goes on and on...Grixis Ascension seems good right?

Why dont people try Black and Red? last time i checked the format was kinda slow and red has the best low CC damage spells and black was great with spot removal. Also, the aggro creatures seems really good too. Nantuko shade, Goblin guide, Goblin chieftan,vampire hexmage...what makes the deck some what more interesting becuase of all of the low CC cards is

Dark Tutalege
i think the card is redic! people were really skeptical about it when it came out saying its the next phyrexian arena and not quite BoB, But! it adds the card draw that black lacks so much.And if you combo it with Crystal ball you have got quite the combo there

If people didnt rely on Pros Set reviews, would kuldatha Phoenix and Necrotic Ooze have homes in standard?

Remember when Koth was all the rage...where that deck hes suppost to be owning with?yeah...

Infect seems legit, i am defintaly building it and testing it

Remember smother from onslaught?? does everyone know its been reprinted in worldwake?
Also does everyone remember when they bitched that convertable turtle wasnt printed in Zendikar and finally was in Worldwake...card seems better than in recent memory...

i had one about rock but... i think i am going to keep that one to myself
