Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

12 Swamp
4 Caves of Koilos
4 Tainted Field
4 Bottle Gnomes
4 Children of Korlis
4 Souls of the Faultless
4 Consume Spirit
4 Dark Ritual
4 Sanguine Bond
4 Sunbeam Spellbomb
4 Tainted Sigil
4 Drain life
4 Ad Nauseam
If I can pick them up at a decent cost or trade, I'm thinking 4 Goddless Shrines in place of the Caves, then replace 3 swamps with an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and 2 Cabal Coffers.
Souls, Gnomes, and Ad Nauseam strike me as not the greatest fits, but the first two work well with other cards in the deck. Anybody have suggestions?
If you look close enough to the image it shows the new chandra with her line 2 ability being -1...I can't read the rest though
If you're playing casually, then you are free to play whatever cards you own as long as the deck has 60 cards in it, and there are no more than 4 of any single card (aside from basic land).
... and relentless rats, but that's beside the point.
It sounds like you're playing from a limited card supply, so unless you and your friend(s) have agreed to follow the "standard rotation", play what you like.
In my casual group, anything goes, as long as it's not unsporting (which is to say, decks with 4 skullclamps are frowned upon).
As for rare runs; one would hope that wouldn't be too common, but I buy my boxes from a local store who has been trustworthy in the past. Perhaps you might be better suited looking around locally, which should save you both time and shipping. I know in some areas you just can't beat the deals on ebay, but it's worth a shot.
