-Heh. My blue deck has four Horseshoe Crabs (1/3, U: untap) and four Hermetic Studies (Target creature gets "Tap: Tim) in it - after a series of games in which I nuked their armies one at a time before taking them apart slowly, all my friends have learned to hit those Crabs with everything they can throw together. It would be funny if it didn't suck so much for my deck.-

-Llanowar Elves became Lawnmower Elves, and Fetid Horror became Fetid Whore, and that's about all we ever really had that way, I think. No doubt more will come to me as soon as I send this.-

-Might be a slight difference there. I can't think of any cards I'd call a "big bad No," except perhaps for the "big bad oh god please no no no no dammit" which is Wake of Destruction - 4RRR: Destroy target land and all lands with the same name as that land.-
