Everyone's freaking out because this slaughters superfriends. As a superfriends player I'm excited to abuse this in my own deck to get those emblems that make some of my walkers "kill on sight" when they hit the board.
I lose enough walkers every game that I'm not worried about killing some myself for certain ults.
I just realized you were the other D&T player in the room at Collectormania last night. Sup
As far as your commentary on the deck and specifically how it plays post-conspiracy, Prelate is a beater of a card that I have yet to be disappointed to have drawn. Recruiter is the tough one that sometimes feels awesome for me and other times I can't afford to spend 3 mana or a Vial activation on putting a 1/1 into play, even if it's going to replace itself with a card of my choice.
I'll endorse the sentiment I've seen (I think from Medea either here or on Thraben Academy, correct me if I'm wrong): Thalia, Heretic Cathar is the best T3 play we can make in certain situations, but her value goes way down in others. She definitely isn't a 4-of, but she's definitely not a 1-of either. So if you're going to play her, you want 2-3 so you can see her on T3 regularly, otherwise, cut her completely and use the spots for other cards.
At least for discussion, I think a lot of people have settled on 2/2/2 between THC and the conspiracy bros so we have a decent bit of access to all of them, but we aren't going to see any of them all the time either.
side-note: That eldrazi deck was hilarious and I don't think your recap of the game does it justice. For the benefit of everyone in the thread, this Eldrazi guy was playing Oblivion Sower, Newlamog, Flametongue Kavu (wtf?) and all kinds of nonsense. From what I understand, he made top 8 at the IQ I couldn't make it to this past weekend.
To be fair, I never saw him play anything but Eldrazi and Thalia. Now that I've seen what he does though, I have a better idea of how to play against him.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna yank a recruiter and move back up to six Thalia.
The thing I'm most interested in testing some more right now is the Metamorph, it has a lot of potential, maybe even mainboard.

Well after spoilers today, probably any b/x deck. Fatal Push is going to be a huge pain from here on out.
