Quote from DementedKirby »Interesting... I will probably just maintain my primers here just because they have some history and have been here for a while. There's lots of discussions and I believe that they'll still be useful if I'm still able to edit and maintain them. That being said, the staff here at MTGSalvation have made the experience and forums an amazing place and their dedication deserves way more merit and credit than can be given. I hope that, once MTGNexus is up and running, an announcement can be made and thus be able to create an account there (and hopefully no one takes my username ). It won't be easy juggling between being active in two different sites, but I will probably only be attentive here to my primers. If the exodus towards MTGNexus is a certain thing, then I will join that immigration.
If the people who make up the relevant parts of the community to you are moving, then going over there could be reasonable. If not, then, at least personally, the community is way more important than the staff. In my case, at this point in time, I'm almost exclusively focused on the Mafia side of things, with the occasional foray into EDH. The EDH section is losing a number of serious people to this schism, so I'm probably just forgoing the game altogether for the time being; I haven't played Magic since August of last year anyways, if I recall correctly. Both communities will probably change, but it's a question of convenience of staying here or loyalty to people who are moving, the primary group of which and force behind which is staff. Both sites are at an unstable state. This site needs a staff that is actively focused on it and appreciates the community, Nexus will need people who like the old staff of Salvation enough to want to be there, and doesn't have the funding or people to be as stable as Salvation potentially can be at this time.
That said, as a user, you probably won't even notice most of it. The staff are just people, just the same as users. Their authority is an artificial concept. So make sure that whatever you choose, it's based on your feelings about the community, not just following either the staff to Nexus or just staying here for the site structure itself, as either way, you'll likely end up disappointed if that's the reasoning for your choice.
Do you also have Skype?
Nothing actually can't be countered. See Ertai's Meddling, Venser, Shaper Savant, Time Stop, and Voidmage Apprentice.
You used the phrase "you're bound to have a better time in that game." I've never seen Cyclonic Rift be remotely as unpleasant as Prophet of Kruphix or Tooth and Nail.
I really don't get people's hard-on for hating Cyclonic Rift.
Should be linked in the post.
You can also do "Anthem Voltron" with Geist, actually. It's mostly a white anthems deck, but with some misc control, tempo or whatever you'd like in blue.
Geist of Saint Traft, Uril, the Miststalker, or other Voltron.
GUB or BGW Dredge/Graveyard Shenanigans with creature-based win.
Creatureless BUG Oath
Divine Intervention
Tie the Knot
Cromat, the Judge Caller
In all seriousness, though, I think any suggestions for this are silly. If you want to make your deck in a way you like to play, take a pile of synergistic cards that you enjoy and build off of that. It should not be hard to make a fun deck. If you discover an infinite, just take it out. If you feel a card is just in there because it's good, replace it.

1. Look for people who are up for French EDH (http://duelcommander.com/)
2. Go for one of the more durdly competitive multiplayer decks. Some examples: 5-color Burning Vengeance, Dreamcrusher (ehh, has some ramp focus), and Jenara Bant Enchantress.
3. Go for a purely "synergies" deck rather than a combo deck with WUB or GUB that controls the board but avoids comboing out.
Of course!
