I heartily doubt protection is gonna make it into the set. Confusion over what protection saves creatures from is so common(saves something from ***), there's no way they'd want that in the most basic set....
As long as you got time of need in there, throw uyo in the mix. copy gifts ungiven, copy your opponents spells....and it's a 4/4 flying besides. other than that....the soratami cloudskater might be nice for it's deck cycling, and the fact that it's only two mana.
As for what cards I didn't like, I'll try to stick to the rares, as its crappy rares that are the real dissapoinments. The kind that wipe the joy from your soul when you rip open a pack.
Those are the ones that I couldn't really see working anywhere at all. Not even in the most out-there casual rouge decks. I'm sure other people might disagree, but whatever. I don't like them myself.
Oh cmon. I know I could build an good casual deck with Mannichi, a bunch of cheap defensive creatures (Kami of Old Stone comes to mind), and some evasion-granters. I mean, Soratami Mirror Guard + Mannichi + Kami of Old Stone = 7 unblockable damage a turn. It's not the best of rares, but it's not crap.
Twist Allegiance.....if I ever wanted to build a crazy deck out of all those red enchantments that screw with people's heads, this would go right in. :biggrin3:
Kodoma of The Center Tree is monstrous with lots of spirits, not to mention unkillable.
Neko-Te: people have already gone over this one.
Tomorrow.....you're right on this one, too expensive for the effect. One of the worst cards in the set, imo.
Nix the mana leaks, nix the spinners, nix the hinders, put in one more Uyo = 60 cards. The counterspells as instants are useless for Toshi's ability, so no loss there, and since this is a fairly aggressive deck (with tricky twists) you won't want to be countering stuff.
what am i saying, i voted for 5
