that's maro's flavor text, yeah? Or I know he at least had creative control for odyssey block and went straight ham, blessing us with things like

maybe next block will have some sort of backwards imposing sovereign so inspired creatures can get some jobs
totally a shot in the dark, but the duel deck is named speed vs. cunning: maybe the "cunning" side could have some sort of extort-y mechanic you paid for by tapping untapped creatures or something? or by allowing them to enter tapped
it sure seems like the opposite of "speed," at least

To be fair, that joke hasn't been original for, like, a hundred years.
Just wait till you see my Halloween costume, which is a set of four bear arms (two on each side, Goro-style), with the arms on the right holding dumbbells.

[Trout] told Bill that humanity deserved to die horribly, since it had behaved so cruelly and wastefully on a planet so sweet. "We're all Heliogabalus, Bill," he would say. This was the name of a Roman emperor who had a sculptor make a hollow, life-size iron bull with a door on it. The door could be locked from the outside. The bull's mouth was open. That was the only other opening to the outside.
Heliogabalus would have a human being put into the bull through the door, and the door would be locked. Any sounds the human being made in there would come out of the mouth of the bull. Heliogabalus would have guests in for a nice party, with plenty of food and wine and beautiful women and pretty boys--and Heliogabalus would have a servant light kindling. The kindling was under dry firewood--which was under the bull.
How the shit do you keep your stuff safe from sweepers in B/R? Or do you just... Not? Eat the sweep, drop more dudes, and try to get back into the game.

Only thing I can think of is to splash white (Mana Confluence, Shocklands?) for Boros Charm.
But really I think you just try to beat face before they can draw Verdict. Fortunately, the new sweepers are more expensive so it won't be so bad when Verdict rotates
That was the verdict I was coming too as well. I was actually thinking of SB'ing in some March of the Returned for control/sweeper decks, since the Mino's are fairly cheap already. Just grab the two I need to get back into the game... Not sold on that plan though.

My powers of mind reading are never that good. I always Thoughtseize when they have 5 lands or something dumb. I think I can count the number of times I've seized what I needed to on one hand.
Although, just making it Creatures and Discard might be fun. I love Discard.
My biggest hurdle right now is getting over the fact that the creature package just isn't going to synergize with the spell package. Usually I can figure out one part by just looking at what I need to activate on the other part.

If you're playing an aggro deck against a control deck, generally you just want to keep 3 or so threats on the board and hold the rest in your hand to rebuild after the sweeper. The last thing you want to do is overextend and empty your hand just to lose everything. Playing non-creature threats can be useful too, like planeswalkers or even Mogis himself (technically Mogis is a creature, but he doesn't die to verdict and continues to do damage post-sweep). Erebos would be useful too, turns off the lifegain of Revelation and can draw you into more threats.
Yeah, I've got 3x Mogis because I like him. Good points though, I don't usually play aggro/turn creatures sideways decks, I'm always building for some stupid gimmick or combo. So it's sage wisdom to be holding creatures. Something I'll probably dick up every now and then.
Erebos is definitely in the SB, I want to throw in Underworld Connections in the main, I'm just not sold on having a life dump without any way to gain it back. I guess I can bring in Devour the Flesh to save my own ass if the worst happens. Eating a Rageblood boosted Mino isn't a bad proposition if it keeps me in the game.
My buddy plays RB aggro. We just changed around the list so he's not running anything without haste anymore and has a bunch more burn. Basically you get two creatures on the board and burn him until he sweeps, then you play 3 more creatures and he's dead.

make the next green tribe be bear people
It's funny that you say that because innistrad was the first time Han was a tribe at all.
Anyways I think it would be nice to return to some of the classics. I've never gotten to see elves or goblins do anything in standard.
objectively the best tribe in mtg

Warrior Tribal! Fits with the "Warlords of whatever this plain is called again", could have Warlords that buff warriors.
Then reprint this dude.

No joke, I'm actually glad. More people need to read his stuff these days.
I also can't link the wiki because making links on my phone is needlessly difficult.
Edit: Links!
I like the phrase "brazen bull" a lot; it's like a bull who assertively walks into a dinner party and takes a bite off the host's plate.

It will require some testing.
